Immediately after the New Year’s Eve celebrations in Cologne two weeks ago police were slammed by politicians and left-wing activists for the use of the term “Nafri” which they used to describe North African men. Iraqi nationals were the most numerous of those checked by authorities with 99 men stopped. Syrians were a close second with 94 men, and Afghan nationals were third with 48. North Africans were also present as police recorded 17 Morrocans and 13 Algerians.
