The movement of African to Europe because of failing political leaders will not stop now.
The migration of Africans to Europe is a complex issue driven by various factors, including political instability, conflict, economic hardship, and social inequality. Unfortunately, the trend is likely to continue unless there are significant changes in Africa's political landscape and economic development.
AFRICA FACTS ZONE Some of the push factors driving African migration include:
1. Political instability and conflict
2. #Corruption and #poor_governance
3. Economic hardship and #poverty
4. Lack of #education and #job_opportunities
5. Social inequality and #discrimination
To stem the tide of migration, African leaders must work towards:
1. Strengthening #democratic institutions and good governance.
2. Promoting economic #development and job creation.
3. Improving access to education and #healthcare.
4. Addressing social #inequality and #discrimination.
5. Resolving conflicts and promoting #peace and #stability.
AFRICAN TRUTH.
International #cooperation and #support from European countries and other #global_partners are also crucial in addressing the root causes of #migration and providing #assistance to African countries to achieve sustainable #development and #prosperity. The process of fast-tracking the payment of reparations to African #civil_society groups and individuals, not to governments will encourage #reconciliation and #debate on the effects of slavery as it became the case with the #jewish_holocaust. The European Parliament will have to acknowledge that #colonialism, #imperialism, #slavery and #apartheid were crimes against humanity and redress has to happen.
As the world moves towards restoration, African politicians will have stop being puppets of the west and start prioritising policies aimed at fixing the mess. Employees have to be shareholders of their labour efforts and move towards implementation of ensuring that at least 60% of profits gained remai
Interesting development! New United Kingdom leader Keir Starmer declares Rwanda deportation plan 'dead and buried.' ๐ซก๐
Britain's new Prime Minister Keir Starmer said on Saturday he would scrap a controversial plan to fly thousands of #asylum seekers from #Britain to #Rwanda in his first major policy announcement since winning a landslide election victory.
The previous Conservative Party government first announced the plan in 2022 to send #migrants who arrived in Britain without permission to the East African Community nation, saying it would put an end to asylum seekers arriving on small boats.
AFRICA FACTS ZONE But no one was sent to Kigali, Rwanda under the plan because of years of legal challenges.
At his first press conference since becoming prime minister, Starmer said that the Rwanda policy would be scrapped because only about 1% of #asylum_seekers would have been removed and it would have failed to act as a deterrent.
"The Rwanda scheme was dead and buried before it started. It's never been a deterrent," Starmer said. "I'm not prepared to continue with gimmicks that don't act as a deterrent."
Labour Party Starmer won one of the largest parliamentary majorities in modern British #history on Friday, making him the most powerful British leader since former Prime Minister Tony Blair, but he faces a number of challenges, including improving struggling public services and reviving a weak #economy.
At the press conference in 10 Downing Street, Starmer answered about a dozen questions and was repeatedly asked about how and when he would start delivering on his promises to fix the nation's problems, but he gave few specifics about what he planned.

Be inspired! David Lammy Foreign Secretary of United Kingdom ๐คHow is Africa ๐ going to benefit?
Hereโs what Britain's new foreign secretary, David Lammy, boy-made-good had to say about his aspirations in new post (video).
Hereโs what to know about David Lammy:
New UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer on Friday tapped one-time barrister #David_Lammy for a key Cabinet position, that of foreign secretary.
Lammy, 52, has been a Labour Party MP for Tottenham since 2000.
He is known for his progressive #politics and his #advocacy for social #justice, #equality, and #human_rights.
He has been a vocal critic of #racial_injustice and has championed causes such as the Windrush Generation, opposition to Brexit, and tackling the #climate crisis.
His journey to the upper echelons of British politics began with his legal career.
After graduating from the Harvard Law School in the United States Of America, he became a #barrister.
His transition to politics was marked by his election to #Parliament in a 2000 by-election, where he quickly made a name for himself as a skilled orator and advocate for his constituents.
AFRICA FACTS ZONE: Key political milestones
During his political career, Lammy has held several key positions.
He served as #culture minister under then-Premier Tony Blair from 2005 to 2007, where he oversaw cultural initiatives.
During his tenure, he played a pivotal role in promoting London's successful bid for the 2012 Olympics and enhancing the UK's cultural diplomacy.
Later, under then-Prime Minister Gordon Brown, he took on the role of higher #education minister in 2007-2010.
He has been a vocal critic of racial injustice and has worked on issues of equality and diversity.
In addition to his ministerial roles, he has been a prominent #backbencher.
He spearheaded the campaign to secure Windrush Day, celebrated on June 22 to honor the contributions of the Windrush generation โ arrivals in the #UK from Caribbean countries between 1948 and 1973.
It is official - United Kingdom's The Labour Party has won a landslide victory in the general election and will form the next government.
Hereโs what to know:
The Labour Party won a landslide victory in the #UK general election, sweeping hundreds of seats across the country and ending 14 years of Conservative Party rule.
Keir Starmer is set to be appointed prime minister later on Friday, ending an era which has seen five different Conservative leaders running the country.
Rishi Sunak, the outgoing PM, conceded at around 04:40 (BST) in the morning, acknowledging Labour had won and saying that he had called Sir Keir to congratulate him.
In his victory speech minutes later, the #Labour leader promised "national renewal" and that he would put "country first, party second".
The result marks a stunning reversal of fortunes for the party. In 2019, led by the veteran left-wing politician Jeremy Corbyn, Labour suffered its worst electoral defeat in almost a century.
On the other side, Robert Buckland, a former Conservative minister who lost his seat, described it as "electoral #Armageddon" for the Tories.
It is expected to be the party's worst result in almost 200 years, with a battle over the future direction of the party likely to commence in the coming days.
It's been a long night of results and there's plenty more action to come.
Who is #Keir_Starmer?
He's fairly new to politics, relatively speaking.
Starmer started his professional life as a barrister in the 1990s, and was appointed the director of public prosecutions, the most senior #criminal_prosecutor in England and Wales, in 2008.
He was first elected in the Holborn and St Pancras Labour Party Forum (unofficial) constituency in north London Bridge in 2015, and took over leadership of Labour after the party's poor 2019 #general_election, pledging to start a "new era" after the left-wing leadership of Jeremy Corbyn.
Starmer was re-elected in the same constituency on Thursday, saying in his victory sp
A sad state of affairs in State House Kenya ๐ค
Hereโs what peaceful protest in Kenya looks like-apparently! Hundreds of people were arrested by Kenyan Police this week after widespread looting reportedly broke out during anti-government demonstrations. Some protesters said their movement had been infiltrated by "goons". Didnโt President William Samoei Ruto make the same claim last weekโฆ?
Kenyan police said they have arrested hundreds of people masquerading as protesters who are suspected of going on a criminal rampage during anti-government rallies this week.
AFRICA FACTS ZONE: Widespread looting and property damage was reported during the youth-led demonstrations in various cities across the country, which some protesters said had been infiltrated by "goons".
"Security forces across the country singled out suspects found engaging in criminal activities in the guise of protesting, and took them to custody," the Directorate of Criminal Investigations - DCI said in a statement posted on X Twitter, formerly Twitter, late Tuesday.
It said a total of 204 suspects were arrested in the capital #Nairobi and another 68 in various other areas of the country.
"The DCI has further deployed scrupulous investigators across the affected regions to pursue suspects captured on CCTV+ cameras and mobile phone recordings violently robbing, stealing and destroying properties and businesses of innocent citizens," the statement added AFRICAN TRUTH.
Tuesday's demonstrations began in an atmosphere of calm but later degenerated into #violence, with police firing #tear_gas at rock-throwing crowds in Nairobi, Kenya. and scenes of looting and property damage in the capital and other cities.
We have been following these developments and support the cause but not violence when democracy provides the right to protest. In most cases these #demonstrations are #hijacked by criminals and lead to defeat the purpose. At these stage, organisers will have to halt the process and allow t
Kenya's GenZ story is an inspiration to Africa and a good lesson for politicians to learn from ๐ซก.
AFRICA FACTS ZONE
Corruption is the root of to the riots we witness in State House Kenya and time for President William Samoei Ruto to listen to what the people are saying. This shows how matured the democratic system is working when those entrusted with the dole tend to do as they please. Africa Wake Up This is what Africa citizens of each country should learn from the young people of #Kenya when entitled politicians think that it's their time to eat and loot state resources without working for the people that elected them into those political positions. The system needs to serve the interests of the electorate who voted for the better life for all, not some cabal or a conglomerates of individuals. AFRICAN TRUTH. If the youth turn their challenges into opportunities, positive outcome will be the results instead of investing in unproductive choices of alcohol and drug abuse.
Watch the video and give credit where it's due, the #GenZ are The Beacon of Hope for Africa and an inspiration that the disgruntled youth should emulate in achieving the Agenda 2063 & ODD Agenda 2030 and African Continental Free Trade Area goals in our lifetime ๐๐ฟ.

Can Sรฉnรฉgalโs Bassirou Diomaye Faye play peacemaker and help a splintered West Africa bloc?
Nearly a year ago, West Africa seemed alarmingly on the verge of war. The Economic Community of West African States (Ecowas - Cedeao) was threatening โmilitary interventionโ in Niger if the leaders of the countryโs July 26 coup did not immediately relinquish power and free President Mohamed Bazoum.
After the military government in Niamey, Niger failed to respond, #ECOWAS activated a standby force, raising alarm bells across the region as citizens began to protest the move.
Burkina Faso and Mali โ Nigerโs fellow military-led neighbours who were already suspended from the bloc โ joined with Niamey to form the Alliance of Sahel States (AES) and pledged to defend against any attacks, threatening to widen the conflict.
Tempers then calmed, but only slightly. #ECOWAS backtracked, instead slapping crippling sanctions on Niger, blocking its land and air borders, cutting off electricity supply from neighbouring Nigeria, and freezing commercial transactions. On January 29, the AES states jointly declared their exit from the ECOWAS, sending shockwaves through the regional bloc that was already seen as weak.
Since, ECOWAS leaders have been scrambling to get the AES back into the bloc by lifting sanctions on Niger; but that has, thus far, failed to appease the alliance before a January 2025 deadline, when the divorce will be official. The blocโs fracturing, experts have said, could roll back more than five decades of regional #diplomacy, disband military cooperation amid rising insecurity in the region, and cripple economic ties.
As both sides standoff, Senegalโs recently elected Prรฉsident Bassirou Diomaye Faye has attempted to play a โsoftโ peacemaker, urging ECOWAS to respect statesโ sovereignty, and prompting #military government leaders to accept dialogue.
โI am nobodyโs mediator,โ Faye, who does not have an official ECOWAS mandate to resolve t

Whoโs Who in South Africa President Ramaphosaโs new Cabinet ๐๐ฐ๐ค
South African President Cyril Ramaphosa on Sunday appointed a cabinet including members of opposition parties that agreed to join a ruling alliance after #elections on May 29 failed to produce an outright winner.
While Ramaphosa allocated the bulk of ministerial posts to members of his African National Congress, which won the most votes in the election, there were also six for the Democratic Alliance, which finished second, and two for the Inkatha Freedom Party - IFP, which came fifth.
