Conflicts and Forced Migration in Africa

Beschreibung

In Europe the terms migration and Africa often seem connected with illegal migration. People associate this movement with tiny boats that hardly transport their passengers across the open sea – including a tremendous number of human losses. It is widely unknown in Europe, that most of the African refugees actually never leave the continent. Migration poses a serious problem in Africa itself – and a huge portion of this human stream is conflict-related. In different situations this led to a vicious circle: refugees trigger new conflicts. For refugees and IDP’s the global socio-economic crisis was/is no reason to leave but an additional problem to survive their flight. This presentation will focus on the actual situation of conflict related migration in Africa.
