Austria is one of the victim in this matter, the problem that Austria has, is the speeding up the process of refugee application status, in Austria things have been too slow which made the situation worse, in a result of this, more crimes and drug dealings or stealings have increased in numbers. This is not only among Africans but also among other refugees from other countries like Irak,Russia, Georgia, Chechnya,Peru and so many other countries.

Now, the government of Austria proposed a deal to reduce the slow pace of application upon arrival and trying to speed up the process, by doing so, also announced that all refugees who have more than 5 to 10 yrs inside the country and with a clean record, can become a full and permanent stay in Austria, that means those who have just arrived in the last few months or now arrived have to face new rules,which are that after the application for refugee status, then within few days, one must know he/she accepted or denied to stay inside the country.

So many right wing political parties have demostrated their negative attitude towards foreigners especially African refugees by announcing that all of them should be deported back to Africa just upon their denial for a refugee status. It has brought a lot of confusion among the EU leaders and a lot more confusion among the Humanitarian organisation like Caritas.

African who are willing to travel to EU should now understand the new laws, and they should understand that Europe do not need them, racism is increasing instead of decreasing. Africans who are still in Africa should not always think that Europe is the place to be or is like heaven.

Watuhodari is going to bring you some interviews from so many Africans living in Europe, discussing the rights and the laws and how it works here for the benefit of so many Africans who have no idea how it is here!
