In recent times, many Western countries have been confronted with the challenges posed by the influx of migrants especially from the wartorn countries. This surge in migration has led to diversity. On one side, there have been celebrations of this diversity but on the other side, there has been an increase in distrust and suspicion amongst the insiders and outsiders.
