The EU has been accused of discriminating against African refugees
The European Union has continued to be criticized for implementing discriminatory policies against refugees from Ukraine on the one hand, and those from African and Asian countries on the other. The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, Filippo Grandi has once again criticized the way European countries welcome refugees from Ukraine with open arms, but discriminate against them and even refuse to accept black refugees who escaped war and armed conflict in their countries. Grandi said, "This is the disgusting truth. African refugees are not well received (in European countries) as they are received refugees from Ukraine." Similarly, Human Rights Watch (HRW) has criticized the duplicity of European countries in dealing with refugees from Ukraine, and their counterparts from Syria, Afghanistan, Palestine, and Somalia.
The United Nations Refugee Agency (UNHCR) has said in its latest report that the number of refugees fleeing their countries and homes or people forced to become refugees within their own countries has never been as large as it is currently being witnessed. United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, Filippo Grandi According to the UN organization, the number of refugees or asylum seekers until the end of last year (2022) was 108 million and 4 lakh people. Muhammed Shehada, Director of Communication of the organization Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor quoted by Anadolu news agency as saying that the EU's discrimination against refugees and migrants has become a common thing day by day.
