[afrocarpus] African leaders are failing to tackle the problem of migration that kills thousands of migrants in the Mediterranean

 

 

African leaders spend much of their time talking about Africa as one country, just Africa. Repetitive meetings are organized around the continent to discuss Africa without tangible  changes in addressing African problems.

Now these  leaders  are unable to  solve the problems of migrants being killed in the Mediterranean. These migrants are mainly trying to escape poverty, inequality and human rights abuses. This isn't a European problem. This isn't a UN problem. It is not the Pope Francis's problem. It is an African Union problem. It is a problem of the whole Africa with its fragmented regional blocs.  These leaders can't even hold a single special meeting to discuss the problem of migration that is contributing to the loss of lives. These leaders are just focusing on keeping their power through corruption, fighting against the opposition, flying in private jets around the world, changing the constitutions, etc.
