"Madam President, this year 1.3 million migrants – both asylum seekers and migrants – came to Europe. Next year, there will be an estimated 3 million. The EU solution is to provide a trust fund of a couple of billion euros to try and solve the African problem as they see it – an African problem that was caused by supporting regime change in Libya and Syria; an African problem that is caused by tariffs that compete harshly against African businesses; and an African problem that supports those governments that terrorise their own people.
The EU is no friend of Africa. The EU is no friend of its African people. The EU is no friend of its continent’s potential for being an economic power, as the EU’s proto—colonial policies are indeed driving down the ability of that continent to survive. This damages Africa’s ability to feed its own nations through issues such as 7.5% tariffs on roasted coffee to protect the coffee-roasting industry of Germany. As the Nigerian authoress, Chimamanda Adichie, once said: Africans do not need limp gifts of fish. They need sturdy fishing rods and fair access to the pond to survive."@en1
