Kayembe V. Ashcroft

Oscar Kayembe petitions for review of a Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) decision denying him asylum. Kayembe claims that his Tutsi ethnicity and his father's political detention give him a well-founded fear of future persecution should he be returned to his previous home in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Because the Board of Immigration Appeals failed to make findings concerning Kayembe's credibility and failed to explain how Kayembe had not met his burden of proof for asylum eligibility, this court cannot undertake adequate review of the BIA decision. We therefore vacate the BIA's decision and remand for further proceedings.
