I understand that.
What I don't understand is that the media, and our Governments, never, really, seem to dig into why those Countries get into, and remain in, such bad situations.
What should we do?
Should we continue to moan about all of those migrating towards a better life or should we, as a country, be demanding better management of those Countries, out there.
The Charities are, obviously trying to do what they can.
In response to this portion of your post, I think we need to dig a bit deeper, as from what I can make out the EU are calling the shots again... unless I am misunderstanding.
Migration and Mobility. :
FOURTH EU-AFRICA SUMMIT
2-3 APRIL 2014, BRUSSELS
ROADMAP 2014-2017
https://www.consilium.europa.eu/media/21520/142094.pdf
36. The Brussels summit adopted a Joint Declaration on Migration and Mobility and
agreed to implement an Action Plan for the period 2014-2017. In line with this
declaration, we will foster synergies between migration and development, including
by reducing the costs of remittances, enhancing the role and engagement of the
diaspora and consolidating the African Institute for Remittances. We will better
organise intra and inter-regional labour mobility and that of business persons. We will
enhance our cooperation to address trafficking in human beings, notably by
strengthening partnership and cooperation on prevention, protection and prosecution.
We will also cooperate on irregular migration, addressing all its relevant aspects,
including strengthened migration management, return and readmission as well as the
promotion of alternatives to irregular migration. Finally, we will cooperate together in
the field of international protection and asylum, and will work together towards
promoting respect of the human rights of migrants.
37. Our cooperation will be underpinned by a Migration and Mobility Dialogue steered by
a core group of European and African countries and organisations meeting on a regular basis.
