After 10 Syrians applied to come to the country as refugees, Antigua & Barbuda has declared that it will no longer accept any refugees.
Government Chief of Staff Lionel “Max” Hurst told OBSERVER media Cabinet recently made the decision.
“Every sovereign state is free to determine who enters its borders and who doesn’t,” Hurst said.
He acknowledged that many countries around the world accept refugees from war-torn states, but, he said, Antigua & Barbuda would no longer be one of them.
