Africa must really be a horrible shithole for people to take risks like this just to escape. Maybe it should be under better management.
Sucks when you buy the trafficker’s lies about an easy voyage, everything being taken care of and a Mercedes waiting for you.
It’s so sad. Decades of european mistreatment led to this instability and nobody bothers. Now most countries are run by corrupt warlords and China is basically buying the continent. The poor people there stumble from mistreatment to mistreatment and everyone who speaks up against it is immediately killed or imprisoned. The sad part is: there is no good solution for all the refugees. Of course Europe could theoretically welcome them in and spend every nickel on integrating all the refugees, but this would also lead to chaos and ultra-right-wing parties rising faster than they already do, which would lead to an even worse state for everyone. The climate crisis hasn’t even started, this will increase the refugees by a lot :(
