What people need to understand is mass migration is here to stay. A trade deal with Africa will not change anything. The ones that benefit are the elite and they don't care. The governments are too blame in the regions and there is only one way to stop it. All financial aid should be stopped until they change their current policies. The foreign aid is not reaching the people that need it. Africa will never change. Ghadaffi when he was around said he ruled Africa by creating conflict. He paid bribes to different countries creating chaos to divide and conquer. This is not straight forward to fix and now the migration has started I can't see it ending. Germany has created a monster for the rest of Europe. I know some Germans and what may have looked like a good idea has turned into a nightmare. It is financially unsustainable. Migrants are pocketing, housing and more than 500 Euros per adult per month. From the countries where they come from that is a fortune to them.

I appreciate your thought process.

Can i ask, have you ever given much thought to reasons why poor nations are poor?

This is one example i have seen and ashamed of, a group of political hacks see africa has a valuable resource, instead of helping them... they help themselves to them. Grossly depleting that resource.

Wars are not really wars anymore. Instead US politicians has a done a superb at exporting terrorism as GDP.

These are two things I've considered on the journey for truth. More powerful nations sadly feed off lower nations. All to print more IOU's and usurp even more power.

One day people will shrug off these terrible governments, and will live in a better age. One of balance and one of helping others. -- my opinion and hope essentially

I do feel they're being exploited, but that doesn't absolve them (poorer nations) of any wrongdoing. Most times it takes two to tangle, and you often find some of these countries ridden with corruption and greedy politicians

True..very true

The lower nations governments welcome the more powerful nations as they are taking handouts but are not filtering down to where they are intended. Look at what Mugabe did to Zimbabwe. It was known as the bread basket of Africa. He plundered the country and from absolutely nothing became one of the richest men in the world. Zuma in South Africa has bought the country to its knees and has emptied its coffers to the extent VAT had to be raised. The main culprit in Africa is China as they don't care as long as they get their hands on the resources. The governments are only too willing to take corrupt back hands for turning a blind eye. Every country besides one is riddled with corruption, the exception is Botswana.

I need to learn more. I only know one tiny itsy bitsy piece, that Ive read on wikileaks. How Clinton Global Int, used Hillarys office to honor favors in Africa. So they did and net portion of deal. Same with Haiti.

I do agree that it takes two to tango. It makes sense....

I just wish we had the very best of society at the reigns... (ha get it?) 😉 maybe oneday itll all change.

@cryptoandcoffee you make some valid points there as well.

All in all glad to have seen/read this today

I hope it changes as a miracle is needed.

Thanks for sharing this.
I see the political class making overt and covert profits from the migrant crisis, especially as it involves the perilous journey from Africa to Europe, and as such they are not willing to apply beyond superficial methods to remedy the situation.

How bout we give them all a one way airplane ticket to Europe?
