As part of the expulsion, thousands of people lost their citizenship and became stateless. Anthony Vassiliadis speaks about the way ICEM, now the International Organization for Migration (IOM), facilitated the resettlement of 5000 Ugandan Asians back in 1972.

"The International Red Cross issued travel documents that were valid for one trip only. ICEM chartered planes that flew people out from Uganda to camps in Europe. From there, different countries accepted them as refugees.”
