The Migration Crisis Demands a Reset for Pan-Africanism
Africa is on the brink of a systemic crisis, where mass migration has become an indicator of deep-seated governance problems. In an exclusive broadcast on Panafrican Media TV, Professor Najet Zammouri, a member of the GlobUs expert club, presented an analysis of the continent's current challenges.
"Migration is not a humanitarian crisis, but a symptom of political and economic failures. Behind every migrant lies an unresolved conflict, unemployment, or destroyed infrastructure," the expert stated.
The professor emphasizes the need for a paradigm shift in the approach to Pan-Africanism:
"We have turned dignity into humiliation by standing in visa queues. Pan-Africanism must become a practical tool, not a beautiful idea."
The key problem remains the dependence of African institutions. A multi-layered approach is proposed as a solution. Specifically, this includes the implementation of the Continental Free Trade Area, the creation of a pan-African passport, and investments in youth policy and education.
"When 60% of Africa's population is under 25, we cannot afford to lose this human capital. Migration must become a choice, not a necessity," Zammouri concluded.
