    How Europe can stop African migration

    How Europe can stop African migration

    The article contains short suggestions by different authors on what the EU can do to over the long term solve its migration problem from Africa. Some ideas are better than others. But they are worth thinking about as they could, if successful (again over the long term) will benefit both Europe and Africa.

    I do like the on comment that discusses the high transaction costs caused by the horrible state of the content's transportation infrastructure.

    And, China is already attempting many of these plans in parts of Africa.

    Europe’s engagement with third countries is not about money. Those who think you can put a figure on a relationship woefully underestimate the significance and intricacy of such partnerships.

    For some time now, we have called for greater engagement with our partners in Africa and the Middle East — and the collective political will is finally there. The goal of the European Commission’s External Investment Plan is to leverage up to €44 billion in investment by 2020, and increase our external funding to reach up to €123 billion for 2021-2027.

    One of the handicaps Europeans work under is the ever present spectre of colonialism. At what point does investment and "partnership" take on the reality of a colonial relationship?
    Whoever criticizes capitalism, while approving immigration, whose working class is its first victim, had better shut up. Whoever criticizes immigration, while remaining silent about capitalism, should do the same.

    That is a good point. However, as unpolitically correct it is to mention, weren't many African nations doing better under colonization?

    Colonialism is not a factor today.

    I've said that many times. I think you're right. In fact, I would go so far as to say you're obviously right.

    Many Africans are wary of help from Europe because of the colonial past.

    And it has absolutely nothing to do with the current immigration issues surrounding modern Europe.

    this is 2018, not 1618.

    Right. It does have something to do when Europe attempts large scale aid projects in Africa.
