SUBJECT: Affidavit of Relationship (AOR) for Thomas
Affidavit of Relationship (AOR) for Thomas on August 8, 2006, but
the child was screened off the case because he was not considered an
immediate relative. The lack of any known family members in Ghana
combined with his serious medical conditional make his case for
resettlement especially urgent.
2. This Embassy referral is for:
Thomas Doe, DPOB: November 16, 2002, Tai, Cote d'Ivoire.
3. Thomas' mother, Priscilla Waylee, was previously resident in
Ziahtown, Liberia, but fled to Cote d'Ivoire in 1991 after rebel
troops began targeting ethnic Krahns for their presumed support of
the incumbent Doe government. Priscilla gave birth to Thomas while
in Cote d'Ivoire, but she had to flee again when Liberians and other
foreigners became targets of inter-ethnic fighting during Cote
d'Ivoire's civil war. Thomas then lived with his mother,
grandparents, and siblings in Budumburam Camp until all of his
relatives were killed in a vehicular accident on May 14.
4. Thomas himself was also injured in the accident and was
hospitalized at Accra's Korle-Bu Hospital, where he remains in a
coma and is believed to be paralyzed on the left side.
