The EU has encouraged African refugees to be treated similarly to Ukrainians.
In recent years, thousands of African migrants have attempted to cross the Mediterranean in quest of a better life in Europe.

Following the deaths of scores of African migrants at sea, the chief of the UN refugee agency has urged Europe to be as generous and hospitable to other migrants as it has been to Ukrainian refugees.
It comes after 90 people drowned in international waters off the coast of Libya after boarding an overcrowded boat.
Only four individuals were recovered from the raft on Saturday, according to the medical charity Médecins Sans Frontières.
Filippo Grandi, the UNHCR leader, said Europe has "generously and successfully" welcomed Ukrainian refugees and should consider doing the same for other migrants.
He tweeted on Sunday, "It must now urgently examine how to apply this to other refugees and migrants knocking, in despair, at its doors."
In recent years, thousands of African migrants have attempted to cross the Mediterranean in quest of a better life in Europe.
Some people make it to their destinations, but hundreds of people perish each year on the treacherous trek aboard overloaded, often unseaworthy vessels.
The European Union has been chastised for collaborating closely with the Libyan Coast Guard to reduce the number of migrants coming to European ports.
On their return voyage, many migrants endure greater atrocities in Libyan detention centers.
