EUROPE HAS NO STRATEGY FOR IMPENDING WAVE OF AFRICAN INMMIGRATION

Surging immigration from Africa to the European Union is bringing with it a threat of massive cultural and political change — and leading government authorities have no way to deal with the crisis, the president of the EU parliament said.

Migration from Africa to Europe is causing a dramatic shift in culture, politics and economics — and the European Union is failing on strategy to combat the change, a leading political figure said.

Get ready for more terrorism, he warned.

Such is the nature of the dramatic demographic shift, which will bring with it massive upsets to Europe’s politics, culture and economy.

The Daily Caller News Foundation paints the dire picture:

Antonio Tajani, the president of the EU parliament, said overcrowding, poverty and war and will likely push “millions” of people from Africa to Europe in the coming decades. Ahead of the annual EU-Africa summit this week, Tajani called for improved coordination among EU members and a “Marshall Plan” for Africa to help stem the flow of migrants.

“Without a strategy we will have terrorism, illegal immigration, instability,” he said, according to the Financial Times. “There are too many voices on Libya, on Africa.”

Immigration remains remains a potent issue in European politics, even as migrant flows have subsided from the height of the refugee crisis in 2015. Right-wing and immigration skeptic parties have enjoyed a surge in popularity in response to decisions by EU leaders, particularly German Chancellor Angela Merkel, to admit more than 1 million refugees and economic migrants from the Middle East since 2015.

Although the EU has since managed to reduce the flow of immigrants via the land route through Turkey, illegal immigration from Africa across the Mediterranean Sea is surging. The number of African migrants arriving via the Libya to Italy sea crossing is up 40 percent from 2016, EU officials said this summer. Most of the immigrants are coming from West African states such as Senegal, Guinea and Nigeria in order to escape economic hardship and overcrowding.

Demographic trends in Africa suggest the flow of migrants will intensify in the coming years. The continent-wide population is expected to double from 1.2 billion to 2.5 billion by 2050, with most of the growth concentrated in Africa’s least-developed countries, according to UN projections.

Africa’s pending population boom takes on additional significance for Europe in light of the wave of migrants and asylum seekers that have arrived in the continent in recent years. Many European countries have already exhausted their capacity to absorb the flow of immigrants, forcing even centrist, pro-immigration leaders to address the problems posed by continued migration from Africa and Asia.
