As North Africa melts down, particularly Algeria and Egypt, the Mediterranean is going to be overwhelmed by a combination of "boat people" and pirates, the aquatic version of refugees and marauders. The Mediterranean is going to look a lot like it did during early middle ages, where Saracen pirates did what the Vikings did to the Baltic and Northern Europe.
Even where the refugees don't turn to raiding, people in un-nuked countries like France are going to get nervous about too many people "swamping" the lifeboat. Then things are going to get ugly and racist. France after the Twilight War is likely to look a lot like the UK did in the movie Children on Men. Refugees would be regularly rounded up and placed in internment camps... unless they have a specific skill set the state needs.
