Fourteen Kenyan women are trapped in Russia working at a factory that makes arms being used in the war against Ukraine.
The factory is an enterprise based in the republic of Tatarstan set up to produce Iranian type kamikaze drones.
The women aged between 19 and 25 were duped into enrolling in what they thought was educational opportunities that would be followed by employment in Russian institutions through a program called Alabuga SEZ/ Start, that advertises through new media and the socials.
A quick hit through search engines shows that the program advertises in flowery language claiming to offer fully funded training and job opportunities.
