Unbelievable: Russian Man Successfully Flies to LAX Without Passport, Visa, or Ticket

A Russian-Israeli man managed to fly from Copenhagen to Los Angeles without a passport, visa, ticket, or any record of being on the flight. The man, Sergey Vladimirovich Ochigava, was discovered by Customs and Border Protection officers upon arrival at Los Angeles International Airport. Flight crew members reported that Ochigava wandered around the plane, changed seats, and even attempted to eat cabin crew members' chocolate. He provided false information about his travel and claimed to have left his U.S. passport on the airplane. Ochigava is now facing charges of being a stowaway on an aircraft.

Sudanese Refugees Trapped on Egypt Border Without Travel Documents

Tens of thousands of Sudanese without travel documents are trapped at the border with Egypt, unable to cross into Sudan’s northern neighbor. More than 120,000 Sudanese without travel documents are trapped in Wadi Halfa and surrounding areas. Calls are growing for Egypt to waive entry requirements. The Sudanese American Physician Association, a U.S.-based NGO, called on the Egyptian government to allow those fleeing the war to apply for asylum at the borders.

Foreigners Stranded in Sudan Due to Locked Passports in Western Embassies.

Several Sudanese citizens are stranded in the country due to their passports being locked inside European embassies, which were evacuated during the ongoing conflict. The embassies are now closed, leaving people unable to retrieve their passports. The main available routes out of Sudan are currently to take a bus to the northern border and cross into Egypt, or to travel to the coastal city of Port Sudan and take a boat across the Red Sea to Saudi Arabia. The UK visa application centre in Khartoum has also been closed, leaving some people unable to retrieve their passports and join their families in Egypt.
