A new survey of 15 African countries has found that more than half of young people want to leave the continent in the coming years, with the majority of those who emigrate expected to head to Europe.
The African Youth Survey found that 52 per cent expressed a desire to move abroad in the next three years.
That number is significantly higher than a poll taken in 2020, impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, which found that two thirds of young Africans wanted to stay in their home countries.
A Pew Research study released in 2018 found that a million sub-Saharan Africans had already moved to Europe since 2010 while another UN survey found that 90 per cent of Africans who had entered Europe illegally had no plans to return to their homelands.
“About 60 percent of Africa’s population is under the age of 25 with more than a third between the ages of 15-34. By 2100, Africa is predicted to have the youngest population in the world, with an average age of just 35,” reports Remix News.
As we previously highlighted, Italian League party leader Matteo Salvini has warned that if the war in Ukraine does not end soon, chronic food shortages will cause an immigration wave that will lead to 20 million African migrants trying to enter Europe.
While leftists continue to assert that diversity is a strength, that probably wasn’t a feeling shared by victims of a migrant mob rampage that took place in northern Italy last week.
Gangs of migrant men numbering in the thousands, some of whom shouted, “This is our territory, Africa must come here,” while waving flags of various African countries terrorized locals and tourists between the towns of Peschiera and Castelnuovo along Lake Garda.
Shop windows were smashed, women were sexually assaulted and police were violently attacked during the chaos.
“Following an incident of theft, the mob began brawling with sticks and knives and then started ransacking businesses along the waterfront with bottles and stones thrown. Riot police were deployed and clashed with the crowds,” reports Breitbart.
“I don’t know if they were first or second-generation immigrants,” said Orietta Gaiulli, the mayor of Peschiera. “They are just a race of criminals who have left a deep wound in my community. We lived a day of war.”
As we document in the video below, thanks to activist judges and left-wing protest groups, European countries are becoming increasingly impotent in dealing with waves of boat migrants fleeing from Africa and the Middle East.

Twitter/X owner Elon Musk announced Tuesday that he is going to visit the Southern Border later this week after speaking with Republican Texas Rep. Tony Gonzales.
Musk tweeted that he will visit Eagle Pass, where unprecedented numbers of illegal immigrants have crossed into the U.S. in recent days.
Musk noted that Gonzales told him “it is a serious issue,” and that “they are being overwhelmed.”
I spoke with Rep Tony Gonzales tonight – he confirmed that it is a serious issue.
They are being overwhelmed by unprecedented numbers – just hit an all-time high and still growing!
Am going to visit Eagle Pass later this week to see what’s going on for myself.
According to reports, up to 11,000 illegals are crossing at Eagle Pass every day now.
The new head of the Border Patrol warned earlier this week that the agency cannot protect Americans because they are being forced to process illegal immigrants:

“In terms of flow and the threats that we’re seeing with Fentanyl and with the criminal organizations that are our adversary, it’s about as bad as I’ve ever seen it”

Jason Owens, the new head of the Border Patrol has warned that the agency is unable to protect Americans from “hardened criminals” smuggling in weapons, drugs and gang members because it is so overwhelmed with processing thousands of illegal immigrants every day.
Appearing on ABC News, Owens stated that the Border Patrol cannot lawfully send back people illegally trying to enter the country over the Southern border, and has to “enforce the laws that are on the books.”
“In terms of flow and the threats that we’re seeing with Fentanyl and with the criminal organizations that are our adversary, it’s about as bad as I’ve ever seen it,” Owens urged.
He continued, “This isn’t sustainable. This is up-and-down the system, everybody is overwhelmed. Even the government of Mexico, which have been great partners for us, the U.S. Border Patrol, a lot of times our facilities are already over capacity.”
House Intelligence Chairman Mike Turner blasted the Biden administration Sunday, charging that they are “encouraging” unsustainable surges at the border.
The GOP Rep. said that “the manner in which they have — have provided assistance to migrants, not really communicating that our borders should be closed. Instead, have encouraging an open border policy.”
“You know, this is a national security and an economic security threat. On national security, we’ve seen individuals on the terrorist watch list be apprehended. We certainly see fentanyl and other drugs coming across the border. On economic security, you even have the mayor of New York saying that it’s destroying his city,” Turner added.
He added that “the Biden administration just in the last 10 days took action to give 200,000 Venezuelans temporary protective status, which includes that they cannot be deported and work privileges.”
“If we had the right policies, they wouldn’t be here. By providing them these — the open assistance, what you’re seeing is an encouragement for others to come,” he further asserted.
Watch:
Less than a quarter of American voters approve of Biden’s handling of the border, according to a new ABC News/Washington Post poll.
