In Africa, family is at the center of everything, way more than in the West. They may be poor but they have dignity. The ability to work properly and being at peace is more important than wealth when Africans want to migrate. Living in the streets of Brussels is as bad as living in the streets in Conakry. When you sleep in the street at night, you must appear crazy and dirty to be left alone. Because every country a migrant goes through expect him to be wealthy, they request a bribe and beat you, hence the need to work at every step of the journey: Guinea, Mali, Niger, Libya, Italy, France, Belgium. Guinea and Mali are supposed to be brothers but customs officers request a bribe even if you have a passport, and if you show signs of intelligence you'll be a target. Migrant smugglers are inevitable, everywhere, and Blacks corrupted by Arabs will sell you in the slave mafia network. If your parents have some money or a pretty girl, you will be the target of a greater abuse. It is better to accept being raped by one corrupted Black than by his Arab bosses. Some prisons in Libya are subsidized by the EU and are the biggest convoy makers of all. NGO (Non-Governmental Organization) journalists are shown a theater of lies. Migrant camp owners don't fight between themselves, the goal is to escape from your current camp to another one closer to the port of Tripoli. When you are small, you are not seen as useful for physical work, hence the need for a bigger friend and a brain. All Muslims are supposed to be brothers, except Blacks for some Arabs. Shipwrecks are often due to overload, bad materials, misdirection, and not enough fuel. It is better to die in international waters rather than Lybian waters to get a proper burial. The whole sea crossing is being watched by drones. During and after your crossing, think about those who didn't cross. Once you arrive in Italy, NGO send you in a temporary migrant shelters of decent quality with opportunities to work. No matter their differences, any human can help another human, you have to see the human behind the labels like migrant or gay. You shouldn't tell people what to do or not to do, all you can do is sharing your story. Some Africans, some Lybians, and some Europeans will do you wrong, but not all of them are bad, don't generalize. It doesn't get easier once you get a residence permit, finding a place to live and a job is difficult too.
Fran KouroumaFrance is bad, even at colonizing. It believes in the assimilation of non-Europeans, wants to control everything and ends up destroying everything. The colonial project (ideological/dogmatic) is a project of the left-wing elite (so-called mission/civilizational duty towards inferior peoples) to which the people were against. Europeans (Italians, Spanish) do not need to assimilate since the only big difference is the language, we have the same vision of the world, the same religion, the same Gallo-Roman civilization. We are the same people, so there is no real effort to be made. Assimilation is impossible, your face is an identity card. It is normal to form a community because an African will never be French, as long as there is respect for the conditions of the country. You have to be pragmatic, you cannot transform the other. France is dogmatic, England is pragmatic. The English empire is a strategic network, the French due to chance with shitty territories: South Africa, India, Australia, Canada with crossing points, ports, and fertile lands vs deserts. The French state is bad in economics, its private companies are the opposite. The British put themselves above local structures but let them manage, allowing the structure to continue on its way after their departure while retaining certain cultural codes. The French, by wanting to control everything, destroyed everything since nothing remains after their departure. The Chinese have built more infrastructure in Africa in 20 years than France in 300 years. Colonization should have left political and financial structures, not material ones. HSBC is a British creation that makes Hong Kong shine, what has France left in Indochina? Since France leaves nothing after its passage, it is hard to recover. The most successful African countries are the former English colonies. Why is France still in Africa (although by proxy with corrupt dictators)? Especially since it destabilizes it (Libya). A minority benefits (the rich), the majority suffers (the rest). Let's not forget the corrupt heads of state, including the corruptible ones. The more sun there is, the more corruption there is (at all levels). We only exploit those who accept exploitation. The school uniform symbolically neutralizes social classes. There is no real right-wing party in France.
L'ObservateurThe UK must accept being on the periphery of power and download economic growth means from the US instead of pretending to know better. Bright minds and millionaires, job creators, are mainly leaving the UK for tax and safety reasons, only to be mostly replaced by low-skilled workers, if they actually work. Because street crimes are unpunished, street crime increases. Net Zero is not a great ambition, especially when it consists of rising energy prices (making everyone poorer) while transferring jobs to developing countries (a job is enough meaning for a lot of people). The UK's lower class is culturally mean and malevolent; immigration is not a reason but an excuse for their behavior.
