The topics of migration and immigration from Africa regularly cause much debate. The situation is often viewed differently within the African community than it is in Europe. Although increasing climate catastrophes are driving more and more people to flee their homes, the proportion of people migrating from Africa to Europe is just ten percent of the total migration in Europe. Nevertheless, most African countries would prefer their citizens to remain because they are urgently needed in their home nations - but increasingly also in Germany and Europe.
