    The scoop of the day


    14-year-old, Alem Kelo an Ethiopian-
    Eritrean seeker of asylum was being forced
    to leave England by the High court of law
    on the Tuesday 17th of February

    Back in October 1999, Alem Kelo and his


    father Mr Kelo arrived in England legally
    for a “tourist trip” with a visa valid for six
    months. They stayed at The Palace hotel
    for a night before his father left Alem at
    the hotel alone. Mr Kelo flew back to
    Ethiopia to fight in the war while Alem
    was found by social services and was taken
    to a foster home in the name of Fitzgerald;

    also in Alem’s defense, as she is a refugee
    counselor. Sheila has stated shocking news
    about Alem which may have helped Alem
    into staying in England. “Since the last
    time Alem has appeared in this court, his
    Alem Kelo
    mother has been brutally murdered” High court of law on 17/2/2000
