By 2050, Africa’s population is projected to have doubled. Already the UN is reporting a 20 per cent year-on-year growth in the number of refugees within Africa. For many of Africa’s economically strained nations the consequences could be catastrophic.In African Exodus, Asfa-Wossen Asserate argues that the failure of European nations to confront this seismic demographic shift will result in greater instability, widespread unemployment and the entrenchment of poverty across the continent. Migration to Europe across the Mediterranean will dramatically increase over time.This challenging book asks: Why does the European view of Africa remain so distorted? What can Europe do to combat the corrupt authoritarian regimes that stymie progress and development? And why do European governments seem so willing to sleepwalk into crisis?
