AO - 4 Somalians request political asylum
From my archive of press clippings:

4 Somalians request political asylum
Posted: 09/04/2010 - 09:48 AM Author: Adele Ramos - adelescribe@gmail.com
The African nation of Somalia continues to battle what has been termed an unprecedented humanitarian crisis, and four nationals, who all tell horror stories of genocidal acts by a rival tribe, have landed in Belize, on a trek that took them to Kenya, Dubai and Brazil by plane, to Columbia by road, to Guatemala by boat and now to Belize.
Read the whole article here.
Snippet(s):
"It was in Belize that Omar Yussuf, Sadak Hirsi, Abdikafi Hassan and Mohamed Farah, in their late teens and early twenties, were busted on the night of Friday, December 4, 2009, after their cayote left them. Reports to Amandala are that Immigration authorities apprehended them as they appeared to be headed toward the Belize-Mexico border on foot."
"Amandala notes that in a similar case involving two Cubans, Pedro Garcia Carrera and Karelis de Los Angeles Sosa Sanchez, and a Somali, Nur Abdi Shire, who came to Belize in 2009, Supreme Court Justice Michelle Arana had called on the Government to convene the Committee."
&
"There are five Cubans in Belize on special permits by the Immigration Department. If the Somalis are allowed to stay in Belize, they, too, would be granted special permits, said the Immigration source. When immigrants on special permits maintain good standing, they could also regularize their status in Belize."

Illegal Chinese Nationals Deported to Guatemala
posted (April 16, 2009)
For three weeks we’ve been telling you about the nine Chinese nationals who came into Belize without visas, and have been detained at the Hattieville Prison. Well, tonight, finally, we can report that they’re gone. After two weeks when they should have gone, but somehow never did, they were loaded up at the Hattieville Prison today and sent, not to the airport, but to the western border.

Another Wednesday has come and gone and with it, another flight from Cuba, and guess what?....The nine Chinese who came into Belize without a visa are still here!

"The explanation this time around is that Cuba won’t take them back with defective passports. Their passports are each missing a page – the same page that had their fake Belizean visa, and the same page they ripped out between Cuba and Belize, so that they wouldn’t be caught with a fake visa, because, obviously in this topsy turvy town, it’s better to have no visa than a fake one!"

The Chinese 9 Still in Belize
Thu, April 2, 2009
Exactly one week ago, we told you about the 9 Chinese who flew into Belize from Cuba without a visa. They never should have been allowed on the plane...but they were; and when they got here, they should have been sent back immediately, but they weren’t. A series of curious slip-ups and now there’s one more. As we reported, the eight men and one woman were remanded to prison for a week on the assurance that they would be sent right back to Cuba when the flight returned yesterday. But, again, they weren’t.

Snippet(s):
"It might not seem so odd to the outsider, but those with experience in how these things work, say that kind of slippage has been typical – as the illegals are often kept lurking in the system until attention subsides and some conspicuous oversight or deliberately corrupt act, allows them to slip out of custody or get out on bail, and then they’re off, headed north. And something’s definitely up with this group as now the story is that they had visas when they boarded the plane in Cuba – mind you, they were fake ones - but tore them out of their passports once they got on the plane."
