illegal migration and instead offering legal ways for people from africa to be educated and study in europe africa. humanitarian critics say there are far too few legal possibilities for migrants but most n.g.o.s are excluded from discussions at the summit an alternative summit for n.g.o.s was cancelled by the ivory coast security services without reason khadijah khanate was one of the organizers she thinks the official summit is undemocratic. it him when they will then they did something like this is good for the governments but not for the people here i really don't think that that concerns will be heard at the summit. even these young artists are not allowed to cross the cordons they say the summit will do nothing to help them. young people will continue to try their luck elsewhere as long as those in power and africa continue to ignore them. so can the summit make a real difference for young africans let's go straight to did abuse max often he joins us now from abidjan max what's it looking like are there some concrete proposals for making life better at home. european member states are pledgi

addressing the root causes of crises that create refugees and illegal migration from africa to europe that's the focus of a summit drawing to a close in the city of abidjan in ivory coast more than eighty african and european leaders were in attendance at the two day meeting i'll talk to a correspondent at the summit in just a moment but first this report. which younger date these two can spell the beginning of a new life and missionaries all had wanted to try his luck in europe but halfway into his journey into his ear he gave up and returned home to ivory coast the international organization for migration gave him a small amount of start up money for his chicken farm. shocking fish should be more of these initiatives to stop young people leaving africa that's his message to the heads of government reason just a few kilometers away. like to see them spending more money on young people there are so many unemployed young people many of them are highly qualified and have plans and ideas something has to change. the topic of migration is high on the agenda at the african and european uni

africa's young people and the rapidly growing population. well corresponding next hoffman is after some joins us now from ivory coast good evening to you max why is europe suddenly so interested in africa's young people. you just said it brant because the population is rapidly rising it's the population with the youngest of the continent with the youngest population but at the same time the continent with the. highest rate of youth unemployment and this is only going to get worse if the economies there don't start lifting their fair share so the europeans know that at the same time they have the migration crisis on their hands and so the thinking is if they don't do anything about the situation help the africans do something about the situation then the migration crisis is just going to get worse so that's the simple explanation for why the european union they'll suddenly seems to care about the youth of africa and briefly max we run out of time aren't european leaders though really are they just more interested in keeping refugees and legal migrants out of europe. they are in the short term interested in that but they know and many have said that inclu

in the media you should have more interviews with printers from africa whole building up businesses for example or entrepreneurs from europe that are investing in africa because that would kind of even out the picture a little bit of course they're basket cases and as do think we need to do reporting on south sudan the horrible conditions there or on the conditions in libya because otherwise there's no pressure for change on these but at the same time you also need to do reporting on industrial parks being built in ghana. that will then help a more nuanced and informed view on africa in the west in europe those negative images that i mentioned were certainly very much on display in the run up to the a u. e.u. summit after c.n.n. broadcast footage of what appears to be a slavery auction in libya libya has become the jumping off point for desperate people seeking to migrate to europe and that is putting pressure on european leaders european pressures yet leaders in turn are pressuring their african counterparts to stop the migrants before they reach libya let's take a look. blurry photo is all davydenko has left his friend d

illegal migration and instead offering legal ways for people from africa to be educated and study in europe africa. humanitarian critics say there are far too few legal possibilities for migrants but most n.g.o.s are excluded from discussions at the summit and alternative summit for n.g.o.s was cancelled by the ivory coast security services without reason. khadijah khanate was one of the organizers she thinks the official summit is undemocratic. it's important to make it something like this is good for the governments but not for the people here i really don't think that that concerns will be heard at the summit. even these tests are not allowed to cross the cordons they say the summit will do nothing to help them. young people will continue to try their luck elsewhere as long as those in power and africa continue to ignore them. oh. the conversation continues online your find us on twitter either at g.w. news or write to me brant off t.v. don't forget to use the hash tag in the day every member no matter what happens between now and then tomorrow is another day we'll see you then about. imaginati
