YouTube Description
as posted by the channelBut first: The number of migrants across Africa has risen sharply in the past decade as war, crises and climate change have wreaked havoc, according to the UN's Migration agency.
The vast majority of migrants, around 80 percent, do not leave the continent. For them, Ivory Coast in the west, Uganda in the east and South Africa are the top destinations. Most people arriving in South Africa come from Mozambique and Zimbabwe. And estimates suggest around three million Zimbabweans are currently living in the country.
The situation has led to a significant backlog in paperwork, with a large number of asylum seekers waiting for years to receive a response to their applications.
