The Political Conflicts in Africa and the European Migrant Crisis.

The current migrant crisis on the shores of Europe has elicited mixed controversial reaction from Europe, the UN and the greater part of Africa. Whereas many have lost their lives on see and land while on the journey to Europe, the reaction or lack thereof by the European, African and MENA countries has left more questions than answers. In this Twitter space, we seek to interrogate the crisis further.

In the Wednesday Twitter Space hosted by the International Society for Human Rights about Africa’s Political conflicts and the European migrant crisis, we will have an insightful discussion and expert analysis on issues of racism, refugees, and war. See you there!
