The European Union has just decided to triple the funds for the management of migrants: the sum put into the budget will go from the current € 13 billion (years 2014-2021) to the future € 35 billion (2021-2027 years).

Before carrying out the analysis of the estimated costs - where the money goes, what it does - we must know what we take from Africa, and what we return to Africa. If we help them or if they, perhaps, give us a hand. So start from the basics, from the places where migrants leave.

Roberto Rosso, the man who has made a world known jeans for millions of euros, asked: "How come we spend 34 euros a day to accommodate a migrant if with six dollars a day, we could make him happy and satisfied at home? " Yeah, why? And why can't we help them at home? Let's go easy on the words. Because their house is for sale and is becoming ours.

• Madagascar has already surrendered half of its arable land to South Korea, about one million three hundred thousand hectares
• China has leased three million hectares from Ukraine: it serves its wheat.
• Tanzania sold 400 thousand hectares to the emir (aristocratic or noble and military title of high office used in a variety of places in the Arab countries) for exclusive hunting rights. The emir made their own fence and then sent the military to prevent the Masai tribes from trespassing for pasture for their animals.

And the Ethiopians who arrive in Lampedusa, the ones that Salvini considers unfortunate as B, unrecognisable as refugees, come from the lower valley of the Omo, the area subject to a plan of intensive exploitation by foreign capital that has determined the evacuation of about two hundred thousand natives. And among the foreign capital, a lot of money, about two hundred million euros, is from Rome. The Ethiopian authoritarian government, which also deports, is the privileged interlocutor of foreign diplomacy that supports and finances multi-annual "development plans". Which development?

464 acquisitions were examined, but land extensions were deemed to be reliable only in 203 cases. In the last five years, that progression equals to one thousand percent according to Oxfam, the independent international network that fights poverty and injustice. The phenomenon is called land grabbing and means precisely hoarding the land.

Rich countries are demanding food and biofuels from poor countries. In return for a tip they buy everything. Mountains and hills, plains, lakes and cities. There are about fifty merchant countries, a dozen buyer countries, a thousand private capital (investment, retirement and risk funds) that do business. It is easier to transport a ton of cereals from the Sudan than the one thousand tons of water needed to grow them. So the question: let's help them at home? Are we really sure that they still have a home?

In Uganda, 22,000 people had to leave their homes to make way for the activities of a timber company, the English New Forest Company. He had bought everything: land and villages. The residents have become guests and the notice of eviction has arrived ... Where clean capital does not arrive, the dirty one presents itself. The so called agro-mafia. Over there, hidden from our eyes and our hearts, the toxic waste that the West can not dispose.

Those who are hungry.....sell their land. Ethiopia has 46 percent of the population at risk of hunger. It is the first to negotiate transfers to the ridiculous prices we know. Followed by Tanzania (44 percent of the inhabitants are at risk) and Mali (30 percent are in conditions of "food insecurity"). Rich countries are buying it with open hands. Mostly Qatar, Saudi Arabia, China, Japan, South Korea, and even India.

The president of Kenya, wanting a port on his sea, has surrendered to Qatar, which has offered to build it, for a price of 40 thousand hectares of land with everything inside. In the package, there were about 150 pastors and fishermen. They are sold too!
