Onto the Margin of the Discussion about Migrant Crisis

Africa as the Region of Origin

Abstract

The current discussion about migrant crisis both in the European and the Hungarian media mainly focuses on the refugees and migrants of the wider Middle East. Nevertheless, the mid- and long-term trends demonstrate that migration from Africa, mainly its Sub-Saharan region – thanks to overpopulation, fragile states, armed conflicts, climate change, oppressive regimes, and economic challenges – will intensify in the coming decades.
