"The flow of migrants from West Africa into Europe remains modest, according to a report by the International Organization for Migration (IOM), which seeks to put an end to misconceptions triggered by dramatic landings of immigrants on the coast. "There is no wave of migrants from sub-Saharan Africa towards Europe," said IOM spokesman Jean-Philippe Chauzy in Geneva Tuesday. "It's estimated that there are tens of thousands of West Africans who enter European countries illegally each year, not the hundreds of thousands that is regularly stated," he said."
