African Descent: Deutz District and Rhine River

african descent: In an overnight tweet, police had described them as being seemingly of African descent, prompting online criticism that people were being detained based on their appearance alone, according to Brandon Sun. I reject this negative criticism, Police Chief Juergen Mathies told reporters. The men had gathered late Saturday at Cologne's main train station and in the Deutz district, across the Rhine river. The clear aim was to prevent similar events to previous year. The crimes were blamed largely on men of North African origin who had taken advantage of chaotic and crowded scenes around the city's cathedral. Hundreds of people were robbed and sexually assaulted during New Year's celebrations in Cologne last year. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
