United Kingdom
The UK has granted the wish of two Ugandan rugby players who claimed political asylum after failing to return home from the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow.
Reports suggest Benon Kizza, 27, and Philip Pariyo, 26, who failed to fly home from the UK after the games, are allowed to live in the United Kingdom.
The news comes weeks after the Uganda Government began an investigation into their disappearance.
The pair subsequently ended up in a Cardiff hostel for asylum seekers.
