How migrants dying on their journey become EU responsibility? Their country where they came from should be liable and be sued in court. Because their citizens, their responsibilities!
agree . they are trying to illegally migrate and are complaining they got turned back? What is the problem, infact this documentary is good propaganda for others doing the same - break the law, face the consequence of your action.. You could say it's a positive thing, less will try this method in the future, which means less death in the ocean and the desert. They can apply for refugee status or like someone said below setup a bmw or vw factory where they can earn decent money near Tunisia seems like a good idea, if europe wants to be responsible for them. Poland has a similar documentary where they say they will shoot people trying to cross illegally..
EU Colonizing This Countries And Looting There Wealths Was A Norm Backdays!.....Yes Its There Responsibility For Sure.....Either To Accept The Migrants Or Give There Past Historic Loots Back!
The EU flat out abandoned its financial obligations to the EU and NATO. They COULD have used that money to help stabilize those countries and institute migration policies to help alleviate the situation. I mean the US has been doing it in S. America, as well as footing the bill for EU defense for DECADES. The LEAST you Europeans can do is to get up off your lazy cheap asses and help out, because we are done in the US, and are going to be getting out of Europe, the Middle East, and all of these places that refuse to help themselves. We ain't the World Police anymore and don't wanna be. Those humans can't control the evil and corruptness, so they naturally seek to live. OK Einstein, what would YOU do if you were in their spot?
Just imagine risking their lives to be able to live in a free and wealthy country. Then after migrating, they would fight the country that catered them because of their crooked faith.
I want to agree but if the European countries didn't systemically pillage , rob and disenfranchise these countries, would they have to leave? Even the systems that they impose are a major cause of the problems Africans are facing.
Ever notice that every African leader who does, ends up dead. For example, to date, there have been at least 16 attempts on President Ibrahim Traore's life, though he only took office in Sep. 2022. Why is this happening? Because he forced out the West, France, and the US. At this point, he is now aligning with Russia and China.
Also, why do those Africans embrace such long and hard journeys to get where they don't belong?! Why not go to Brotherly African nations like Kenya, Tanzania, Mozambique, Botswana, South Africa... ? Their next of kin should be the ones helping out. Each one to his own. EU should help people in Ukraine and such...

Who is promoting such dangerous route to the poor people in those countries. And why is a pregnant woman choosing to risk her and her baby life?
Theses people put their lives in danger how do you hold another country responsible for their demise. Those that have taken children on the journey should be charged with child endangerment period. You can’t run from country to country there’s laws that have to be enforced.
You can run wherever you want - it’s called asylum. You’re looking for ppl to be charged with child endangerment when no one is being held accountable for war crimes & human rights violations which are the root causes? You need to get serious.
There’s over 50 countries in Africa yet none offers opportunities to for their people. The EU needs to address the African governments. Migrants leaving to Europe is a symptom of the EU ignoring the disease which is African government.
I couldn't find anything in this video that says - Europe is causing people from Africa to migrate towards Europe. The African countries should be responsible for their citizens. Though, development work should be accelerated in central African countries to avoid lawlessness and genocidal regimes. And IMF, world bank and other multilateral organizations should provide cheaper loans and support o improve economic welfare there.
It is no use because all Aid ends up in hands of corrupt leaders and African citizend sell their votes to such people. The problem is their mindset. Asian countries arent like them and we can see how well Asian countries have done after colonialism
Oh so Europe meddling, pillaging and causing destruction in Africa is not a root cause? European powers will never stop & let Africa be self sufficient bc they will no longer be able to benefit if that happens. Africa doesn’t need more loans or even cheaper rates because it never reaches those in need that’s a part of why there’s a problem now.
I am trying very hard to understand why these people can't run to other places in Africa, i doubt they can't find a better life within Africa somewhere. They all want to go to Europe.
With or without colonialism by Europeans in the past. Nobody can change or help their countries, if their people want corruption, greed and laziness. The root cause is the people 😅😅😅
at the end of the day the people of the country are the ones responsible for it. They have to change things from within rather than expect other outsider people to come in and solve their problems. All people throughout history and before have been wronged or done bad things to others, to use it as an excuse aint going to solve the problem.
@@honeybee5099 before you finish yapping nonsense don't forget the trillions stolen from the continent. Steal trillions and create wars and then give 2cents in aid
I love the double standard. A country exploits another, and won't let the people from the country that they exploited into their own. It's so messed up.
Seen in the comments are statements that the travelers countries aren't taking care of their own citizens, that there are many African countries, many don't care for these travelers, many don't care for their own citizens. If the rest of the world is expected to provide money for these countries, support their citizens in other countries, maybe all Africa needs to be governed by a multi-country government that can help these people and modernize in their own countries. Maybe there shouldn't be so many small inefficient countries and areas of larger countries that may be controlled by people keeping any wealth for themselves, allowing their citizens to suffer living in poverty in shacks, living in dirt. Renegade governments and gangs killing people wouldn't be allowed in modern countries. It's no wonder so many people have tried to make it to the modern societies, a chance to live in today's world. One problem is, they aren't prepared for a modern world.
You’re essentially saying colonization is the answer. The original & continuous problem should be solved with the same problem. You don’t sound very smart.
south korea n Japan have so much less natural resources than these countries, yet s korea and japan are 1st world highly advanced tech wealthy nations. why?
Because they are American vassals. They have no autonomy of their own. If they decide to have an independent foreign policy, West will force them to poverty as well.
Isn't it simple? when a country doesn't have much natural resources, they must develop and create something to sell. Some of the countries that have more natural resource relies on selling raw materials, that plus greed lead to exploitation with no much increase in quality.
@@かんちょう-q9p Both Korea, Japan, and most of asia have been colonized. Same with China, whom has plenty of natural resources. Korea was once one of the poorest countries in the world, yet they turned things around in less than a generation.
@@かんちょう-q9pUSA has endless too much natural resources, yet it became wealthy rich advanced country. what excuse these countries have? oh yea they dont wanna work dont wanna study dont wanna invest
While this may sound brutally harsh, categorically, it's NOT the responsibility of Europe or the countries therein to take care of these people, who not only broke international immigration laws but also senselessly put their own lives (as well as their children) in danger doing so. The same is true with regard to my country, the United States. And if Donald Trump holds true to the pre-election promise he made to his supporters, this will definitely change in 2025 and beyond.
Write your comments, and display your complete and utter ignorance. The West goes in and plunders these countries of their natural resources, forces them into unfare trade agreements, assassinates the leaders who are loyal to their people, all so the West can thrive, and then after all of this planned "theft" and destabilization, denies the people of those lands entry into US. Big mistake, which is why China and Russia now have a real presence in Africa - the land with the greatest amount of resources on the planet.
If there are no free social benefits like free food, free accommodation etc when they get to Europe or USA or Canada, these people will not dare to risk their lives. Most of them want freebies, most of them abuse the system of western countries. Cut the free social benefits of illegal migrants, these flow of people will drop
All people are equal. But some people are more equal than others? The impact of Europe spends its money doesn't matter right. As long as the poor black Africans don't come to Europe. Their lives mean nothing to Europeans. Never has, and never will. That's what you are implying.
Don't be so naive. Europe have exploited Africa for centuries, even until now. When China starts to develop Africa building railways and infrastructure, EU government crying China is exploiting Africa
This happens to my friend when he was in Algeria, they drove him and 2 other young men way out into the desert talking about they were deported them. Gave each one of them a 16 ounce bottle of water drove them way out into the desert made them get out the car and left them there. I still have the video that my friend sent of them out in the desert. They came upon a rescue camp. They was in the desert for a week, no water no food that is just evil evil to do that to another human.
This was hard to watch especially the deaths of children and women in search of a better life. This makes me appreciate even more the things I usually take for granted.
I am deeply concerned about the treatment of citizens across the African continent, which appears to stem from a lack of effective governance by some leaders. It is disheartening to witness the challenges faced by many, and I hope for a future where their needs are prioritized and addressed.
This documentary sheds light on the tragic realities of human trafficking and the perils faced by migrants. However, it simplifies the intricate geopolitical dynamics and the inherent challenges of international intervention. While the EU bears a moral responsibility to address human rights violations, it must also respect the sovereignty of other nations. Imposing external solutions can be counterproductive, often worsening existing issues rather than resolving them. The documentary's focus on race and ethnicity, while significant, is overly reductive. The plight of migrants is shaped by a multitude of factors, including economic inequality, political instability, and the impacts of climate change. Framing the crisis in simplistic racial terms overlooks the true complexity of the situation. Furthermore, the EU's migration policy, despite its humanitarian intent, may inadvertently force migrants into the hands of smugglers and traffickers. A more nuanced approach is necessary-one that balances humanitarian imperatives with legitimate security concerns. A more sustainable solution to the global migration crisis lies in substantial investment in the economic development of African nations. With the youngest population in the world, Africa has immense potential. By empowering young people through education, infrastructure development, and technological innovation, we can foster a more prosperous and stable future for the continent. This approach not only reduces the need for migration but also contributes positively to the global economy. It is essential to avoid paternalistic attitudes and treat African nations as equal partners. By investing in their development, we can promote self-reliance and work towards a more equitable world.
@@firstlast-oy7uk The complexity of the problem and the solution thereof has been very cogently and wisely outlined by you. Reductionism of any kind is sure to be couner productive.
Instead of spending this money to north African countries. EU need to spend this money to migration crisis countries. So that people livelihood will improve thats called social justice. Nobody Hurt.
get an education... religion + population explosions are the problem, and this leads to social instability.. you live in a cesspit of ignorance.. now, which bit did I get wrong.. you want the data.. no of course not.. you are incapable of facing the reality..
This video is hammering on the perspective that the EU deal is immoral, inhumane, etc. Granted, it is all that, but what alternative solution is offered? If none, then Europe will become Africa with all of the same problems eventually. Is that a desirable result for the whole world?
I think no one should face such brutal treatment while seeking safety and a chance for a new start. Further, being detained is dehumanising to an individual. but what is worse is being beated and, sent and left in the desert to die, documentations being confisticated while you seek for or qualify for a refugee status. "A wrong step by the leader is a warning to the followers." 😢😢😢
This is an excellent documentary on this topic, thank you! If you feel like you must flee your country to enter another one illegally you must also understand the deadly risk associated with that choice. I personally hold their home country accountable. Why are YOUR ppl so desperate to leave?
It's not Europes fault these people made a choice a decision a life changing one at that. They knew they could die they chose it. Instead of working to better their own countries at what point do you point the finger at the bad choices they made not at everyone else.
I agree with the commenters , if these people are going to flee their nations and coming to other nations, the nation's that they are coming from they need the pay the governments To what country they are going to , to take care of their citizens , They should not be using our tax dollars to take care of these people
I am African and i don't even blame europe we were no the only ones that were colonized japan got dropped with 2 nuclear bombs and yet they are the most advanced society in the world
Tunisian here, i lived in France (legally) and now returned to Tunisia (I've seen racism). There is no doubt that Tunisians and our government have racist tendancies. But hear me out. The illegal immigrants left in the desert are refusing to apply for asylum IN Tunisia. because it will close permanently their chance to get legal status in Europe. when the immigrants gets stopped without legal documents, they choose to be thrown in the desert than ASK for asylum. and to be honest from my prospective. who would want to stay in Tunisia if not rich and arab. so many nuances to this topic including ones that I've not mentioned. Just i would ask you one thing. please seek the humanity within yourself while watching this video 😢
The resources are mainly exploited by their own African governments. Let's look at Kenyatta, his family and close allies, look at Mugabe the ''Freedom Fighter. Now his widow bought a mansion in Dubai, and she expelled hundreds of farmers from lands she claims is hers, instead of letting them farm the land. Where did all that money come from? Over 50 countries on the African continent, yet they cannot find even one ''safe haven, it says much about Africa and Africans.
@@Tonyb7195 they choose the course they take and refuse to change.. why should I who acts responsibly have to support those who refuse to act responsibly ? What about the path these people then force others to walk in ?
Why EU officials don't consider, instead of supporting regimes as the Tunisian and Mauritanian, investing in development projects in the countries from most of the refugees come from? (Nigeria, Guinea, Sierra Leone, etc). European countries and companies have been collecting huge revenues from their African colonies since 19th century. Now, if they want to keep themselves aside from massive immigration, the best way to achieve it is investing in the lands they plundered.
Wake up, colonization ended 60 years ago and most of the issues these people are running from are entirely of their own making 🤦♂Also, another "best way to keep themselves aside massive immigration" would be turning the boats.
(1) To all those who claim it’s an African problem: you want to keep the door open, but you’re breaking the legs of anyone trying to get inside. (2) What difference does it make whether the migrant has a document or not? They are human beings in need of migration, just like animals migrate when the season changes or when resources become scarce. (3) Why doesn’t the EU invest the same amount in projects that help countries in Africa create jobs?
Why aren’t these people warned before they leave their own country. One problem there is a gang problem. Every country has the right to protect its boarders. It’s so sad a world when people can’t get along.
Sad "fun fact": EU supports other countries in their violation of human rights to allow EU to preserve human rights in their own territory. Thanks DW for revealing this hipocrisy!
countries must fix own problems european tax payers never agreed to supporting all freeloaders after ww2 europe had 14 million internal refugees they solved their problem others can do the same
DW documentary thanks for making this documentary about displaced people who have no voice, please come to Indonesia where thousands of refugees have been stranded for more than 12 years, there has been a perilous humanitarian crises going on for more than a decade, please come to Indonesia and make a documentary about the forgotten refugees over here
These people are coming there to do "whatever it takes". Fine. Start complaining. It's EU's fault. If you are two months pregnant, you still decide to take the risk; OK take it.But do not blame others.
Your country really need to be ashamed of themselves, so inhuman, something really needs to be done about that, that they should notever have to leave their Homeland😢 what a shame.
Euro investment not immigration to the Euro zone..wouldnt that create new markets for goods and services? Is that too simplified? I almost believe European countries want immigration. Just create an investment zone in each country...electricity, sanitation, light industry, housing fit for humans, a financial center, satellite 🛰 connection. Just one functional city could change the minds of people and prove immigration is simply not necessary.
Europeans talk so much on Human Rights. Now the European countries EU paid African countries security personnel to attempt inhuman actions by dropping illegal immigrants into deserts to die of thirst & foods to solve problems the African migrants to Europe by sea. Where is your humanity that EU broadcast so much to the world all these time.
My heart sank when he said “A black person is already born dead anyways.” 😭 I cannot stop the tears. Racism etc, just made the statement real. Humans, is this what you lots think of BLACK AFRICANS are?!?????? 😢.
If you seek to eliminate everyone that isn’t like you… Your destiny is going to be a very lonely and isolated one… When you envelop yourself with people that only seek to preserve themselves one day, you will find yourself on the outside of that circle… And then, what will your choices be??? In that moment, wouldn’t you be the same as those you prosecuted and denied life to..
The reason they are fleeing is due to instability in the countries; economic and political. These are the underlying issues that fuel migration and no one asks for example, who is sending arms and funding the rebel groups or the war in said countries. Africans do not innovate guns or military trucks nor do we have a currency that can sway things in our favour. Facilitating safe immigration channels is indeed a solution but it is curing a symptom, not the causes. Systemic issues need to be addressed and whether Europeans (west majorly) like it or not, due to the colonial legacies, this concerns them. But Africans too need to bring sane, sustainable solutions to the table and not just asking Europe to welcome us. If we have the gall to cross deserts and oceans, we can channel that energy to making our countries better. Mental and physical energies are needed.
They shouldnt be be given anymore than a cup of water.! They are bleeding America dry at the expense of working Americans. Not to mention all the theft and violent crimes.
Pure racism. What i see are decent people who do not deserve the political situations they were born into. They have goals and aspirations just like the rest of us - potentially more than i could say about some people living off government handouts in parts of Europe. The root cause is the lack of knowledge of the richness of African cultures. What i see are resilient people who speak with such composure after enduring unthinkable injustice. I cant imagine being that eloquent and calm while sitting in a desert at the mercy of a foreign government.
Poor people all around the world are just the shadow of living dead. They are not even number or name in the so called systems of the system. As the saying goes failure has no friend or family but success has many both legal and illegal.😊😂😮❤❤❤

You can run wherever you want - it’s called asylum. You’re looking for ppl to be charged with child endangerment when no one is being held accountable for war crimes & human rights violations which are the root causes? You need to get serious.
There’s over 50 countries in Africa yet none offers opportunities to for their people. The EU needs to address the African governments. Migrants leaving to Europe is a symptom of the EU ignoring the disease which is African government.
Excellent point. Fight corruption in Africa and allow African nations to prosper. Migration would naturally decrease.
If they did that, africans would be yelling that Europeans are trying to colonize them again. Europe can't win
Africans would be the first to complain about interference by the European Union in the internal affairs of their countries.
They aren’t our problem though, fix your own nations
A lot of them also go to South Africa.
I couldn't find anything in this video that says - Europe is causing people from Africa to migrate towards Europe. The African countries should be responsible for their citizens.
Though, development work should be accelerated in central African countries to avoid lawlessness and genocidal regimes. And IMF, world bank and other multilateral organizations should provide cheaper loans and support o improve economic welfare there.
It is no use because all Aid ends up in hands of corrupt leaders and African citizend sell their votes to such people. The problem is their mindset. Asian countries arent like them and we can see how well Asian countries have done after colonialism
Oh so Europe meddling, pillaging and causing destruction in Africa is not a root cause? European powers will never stop & let Africa be self sufficient bc they will no longer be able to benefit if that happens. Africa doesn’t need more loans or even cheaper rates because it never reaches those in need that’s a part of why there’s a problem now.
videos in the desert look fake..walking strongly and then suddenly collapsing..what a joke
3 billion poor people need a place to live, DW will not pay for it.evil dw.
Why should they pay ?? Work,immigrate legally and earn money
I am trying very hard to understand why these people can't run to other places in Africa, i doubt they can't find a better life within Africa somewhere. They all want to go to Europe.
Of course Europe thats where the most comfortable life style is 😊
Africans cant run their countries ?
I dont understand why someone would get pregnant while fleeing as a refugee.
With or without colonialism by Europeans in the past. Nobody can change or help their countries, if their people want corruption, greed and laziness. The root cause is the people 😅😅😅
at the end of the day the people of the country are the ones responsible for it. They have to change things from within rather than expect other outsider people to come in and solve their problems. All people throughout history and before have been wronged or done bad things to others, to use it as an excuse aint going to solve the problem.
If Europe didn’t destroy Africa through plunder you wouldn’t ask such a stupid question. So shut up
@@honeybee5099 before you finish yapping nonsense don't forget the trillions stolen from the continent. Steal trillions and create wars and then give 2cents in aid
@ you steal trillions from the continent and create w*rs and then give 2cents in the name of aid. Get serious
I love the double standard. A country exploits another, and won't let the people from the country that they exploited into their own. It's so messed up.
That's the mentality that drives people
its thier leader who exploit them. if thier leader who elected by them are good they will not leave.
Seen in the comments are statements that the travelers countries aren't taking care of their own citizens, that there are many African countries, many don't care for these travelers, many don't care for their own citizens. If the rest of the world is expected to provide money for these countries, support their citizens in other countries, maybe all Africa needs to be governed by a multi-country government that can help these people and modernize in their own countries. Maybe there shouldn't be so many small inefficient countries and areas of larger countries that may be controlled by people keeping any wealth for themselves, allowing their citizens to suffer living in poverty in shacks, living in dirt. Renegade governments and gangs killing people wouldn't be allowed in modern countries. It's no wonder so many people have tried to make it to the modern societies, a chance to live in today's world. One problem is, they aren't prepared for a modern world.
You’re essentially saying colonization is the answer. The original & continuous problem should be solved with the same problem. You don’t sound very smart.
Very informative documentary Opens our eyes up to what actually is going on I wish all the refugees all the best Cheers from Linda in Australia 😊
south korea n Japan have so much less natural resources than these countries, yet s korea and japan are 1st world highly advanced tech wealthy nations. why?
Because they are American vassals. They have no autonomy of their own. If they decide to have an independent foreign policy, West will force them to poverty as well.
Isn't it simple? when a country doesn't have much natural resources, they must develop and create something to sell. Some of the countries that have more natural resource relies on selling raw materials, that plus greed lead to exploitation with no much increase in quality.
@@かんちょう-q9p Both Korea, Japan, and most of asia have been colonized. Same with China, whom has plenty of natural resources. Korea was once one of the poorest countries in the world, yet they turned things around in less than a generation.

@@nikkenikNickIt's because we Africans aren't there yet. The progress ladder differs from society to society and one era to another.
While this may sound brutally harsh, categorically, it's NOT the responsibility of Europe or the countries therein to take care of these people, who not only broke international immigration laws but also senselessly put their own lives (as well as their children) in danger doing so. The same is true with regard to my country, the United States. And if Donald Trump holds true to the pre-election promise he made to his supporters, this will definitely change in 2025 and beyond.
If Europe didn’t destroy Africa through plunder you wouldn’t ask such a stupid question. So shut up
Write your comments, and display your complete and utter ignorance. The West goes in and plunders these countries of their natural resources, forces them into unfare trade agreements, assassinates the leaders who are loyal to their people, all so the West can thrive, and then after all of this planned "theft" and destabilization, denies the people of those lands entry into US. Big mistake, which is why China and Russia now have a real presence in Africa - the land with the greatest amount of resources on the planet.
Wait until it's you... Hiding by a picture of David. Why don't you go and read the Bible.....
Wow My father served in Nam. Seeing children die. Is that okay? Or should we help each other as God would?
If there are no free social benefits like free food, free accommodation etc when they get to Europe or USA or Canada, these people will not dare to risk their lives. Most of them want freebies, most of them abuse the system of western countries. Cut the free social benefits of illegal migrants, these flow of people will drop
How’s Europe responsible???
Because you support our corrupt government we can't resist here so what do we do
it's not, they are just looking for a free meal ticket.. they want someone else to pay for their population explosions..
They pay the Arabs to do their dirty job.
All people are equal. But some people are more equal than others? The impact of Europe spends its money doesn't matter right. As long as the poor black Africans don't come to Europe. Their lives mean nothing to Europeans. Never has, and never will. That's what you are implying.
Don't be so naive. Europe have exploited Africa for centuries, even until now. When China starts to develop Africa building railways and infrastructure, EU government crying China is exploiting Africa
This happens to my friend when he was in Algeria, they drove him and 2 other young men way out into the desert talking about they were deported them. Gave each one of them a 16 ounce bottle of water drove them way out into the desert made them get out the car and left them there. I still have the video that my friend sent of them out in the desert. They came upon a rescue camp. They was in the desert for a week, no water no food that is just evil evil to do that to another human.
This was hard to watch especially the deaths of children and women in search of a better life. This makes me appreciate even more the things I usually take for granted.
Sad reality no one cares for Human life , you are on your own to earn your bread.
I am deeply concerned about the treatment of citizens across the African continent, which appears to stem from a lack of effective governance by some leaders. It is disheartening to witness the challenges faced by many, and I hope for a future where their needs are prioritized and addressed.
0:05 How is this EU's fault?
I watch DW because I thought it is impartial, are you?
Open borders policy
If Europe didn’t destroy Africa through plunder you wouldn’t ask such a stupid question. So shut up
Why you are leaving your motherland answer this question .......
This documentary sheds light on the tragic realities of human trafficking and the perils faced by migrants. However, it simplifies the intricate geopolitical dynamics and the inherent challenges of international intervention. While the EU bears a moral responsibility to address human rights violations, it must also respect the sovereignty of other nations. Imposing external solutions can be counterproductive, often worsening existing issues rather than resolving them.
The documentary's focus on race and ethnicity, while significant, is overly reductive. The plight of migrants is shaped by a multitude of factors, including economic inequality, political instability, and the impacts of climate change. Framing the crisis in simplistic racial terms overlooks the true complexity of the situation.
Furthermore, the EU's migration policy, despite its humanitarian intent, may inadvertently force migrants into the hands of smugglers and traffickers. A more nuanced approach is necessary-one that balances humanitarian imperatives with legitimate security concerns. A more sustainable solution to the global migration crisis lies in substantial investment in the economic development of African nations. With the youngest population in the world, Africa has immense potential. By empowering young people through education, infrastructure development, and technological innovation, we can foster a more prosperous and stable future for the continent. This approach not only reduces the need for migration but also contributes positively to the global economy.
It is essential to avoid paternalistic attitudes and treat African nations as equal partners. By investing in their development, we can promote self-reliance and work towards a more equitable world.

Instead of spending this money to north African countries. EU need to spend this money to migration crisis countries. So that people livelihood will improve thats called social justice. Nobody Hurt.
So many nations destabilized. Internal forces, external forces, natural disasters. Most people just want a chance to live a decent life.
You're right, of course.
And what a humble thing for a human to hope for.
"There, but for the grace of God, go I".

So do America's cancer sufferers.
This video is hammering on the perspective that the EU deal is immoral, inhumane, etc. Granted, it is all that, but what alternative solution is offered? If none, then Europe will become Africa with all of the same problems eventually. Is that a desirable result for the whole world?
@michaelyuan3382 Great, sensible post. 👍
I think no one should face such brutal treatment while seeking safety and a chance for a new start. Further, being detained is dehumanising to an individual. but what is worse is being beated and, sent and left in the desert to die, documentations being confisticated while you seek for or qualify for a refugee status. "A wrong step by the leader is a warning to the followers." 😢😢😢
Where is the responsibility of muslim counties
We also hahe to manage family sizes.why expand when we can hardly feed ourselves...its veru sad
Legs crossed and pants zipped. Focus on education and build skills
That's no way to treat people. Karma will prevail in the end. It always does.
This is an excellent documentary on this topic, thank you! If you feel like you must flee your country to enter another one illegally you must also understand the deadly risk associated with that choice. I personally hold their home country accountable. Why are YOUR ppl so desperate to leave?
there is 1 milliard people in Africa, millions wants go Europe, now what !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tens of millions wanting to go to Europe
How terrible. Something needs done. Everyone regardless of color deserves respect and treated with kindness.

It's not Europes fault these people made a choice a decision a life changing one at that. They knew they could die they chose it. Instead of working to better their own countries at what point do you point the finger at the bad choices they made not at everyone else.
Import 3rd world , get 3rd world . RIP Germany , UK , France
If DW is worried about, then Germany should take all those migrants in.
Colonialism have wreaked havoc in native lands.
This is true, but if you continue to consider yourself as a victim, then you are realizing that destiny .
I agree with the commenters , if these people are going to flee their nations and coming to other nations, the nation's that they are coming from they need the pay the governments To what country they are going to , to take care of their citizens , They should not be using our tax dollars to take care of these people

Europe has plundered Africa for centuries destroying their countries but now they act as if they don’t know why these beautiful people are here
blame everyone but who is responsible huh? typical delusional wokester.
Africa has plundered itself.
Nope. Europe never plundered Africa, Europe lost money on Africa during Empires and after decolonisation....
"We never plundered" idiots defending their government...
I am African and i don't even blame europe we were no the only ones that were colonized japan got dropped with 2 nuclear bombs and yet they are the most advanced society in the world
Invest in North African Countries, housing and food.
And get the Rich Arab Countries to pay for most of this.
Tunisian here, i lived in France (legally) and now returned to Tunisia (I've seen racism). There is no doubt that Tunisians and our government have racist tendancies. But hear me out. The illegal immigrants left in the desert are refusing to apply for asylum IN Tunisia. because it will close permanently their chance to get legal status in Europe. when the immigrants gets stopped without legal documents, they choose to be thrown in the desert than ASK for asylum. and to be honest from my prospective. who would want to stay in Tunisia if not rich and arab. so many nuances to this topic including ones that I've not mentioned. Just i would ask you one thing. please seek the humanity within yourself while watching this video 😢
Exploit their resources but don't accept their poor 😏
I like that kind of relationship!😁
The resources are mainly exploited by their own African governments. Let's look at Kenyatta, his family and close allies, look at Mugabe the ''Freedom Fighter. Now his widow bought a mansion in Dubai, and she expelled hundreds of farmers from lands she claims is hers, instead of letting them farm the land. Where did all that money come from? Over 50 countries on the African continent, yet they cannot find even one ''safe haven, it says much about Africa and Africans.

Devastating. It’s ironic that the ads while you watch this are huge chicken sub sandwiches, a meal that these people may not have in days or weeks…😢
Why EU officials don't consider, instead of supporting regimes as the Tunisian and Mauritanian, investing in development projects in the countries from most of the refugees come from? (Nigeria, Guinea, Sierra Leone, etc). European countries and companies have been collecting huge revenues from their African colonies since 19th century. Now, if they want to keep themselves aside from massive immigration, the best way to achieve it is investing in the lands they plundered.
Wake up, colonization ended 60 years ago and most of the issues these people are running from are entirely of their own making 🤦♂Also, another "best way to keep themselves aside massive immigration" would be turning the boats.
(1) To all those who claim it’s an African problem: you want to keep the door open, but you’re breaking the legs of anyone trying to get inside.
(2) What difference does it make whether the migrant has a document or not? They are human beings in need of migration, just like animals migrate when the season changes or when resources become scarce.
(3) Why doesn’t the EU invest the same amount in projects that help countries in Africa create jobs?
Agree but they are quick to exploit Africa
As I watch this, i cant help but wonder "what would i do differently if i were them". I wouldn't know the answer.
It is so sad that people have to leave their country, something needs to be changed in their Homeland, the country needs to be ashamed of themselves.
dont see how brussels is to be blamed for this
Because Europe has plundered and destroyed Africa. You wants its resources and not its poor people you leave behind in your wake of stealing
Why aren’t these people warned before they leave their own country.
One problem there is a gang problem. Every country has the right to protect its boarders.
It’s so sad a world when people can’t get along.
i don't get it. why won't europeans use these migrants as cheap workers?
Evil though,it is people like you that is destroying the world
Concentrated wealth vs shared poverty. We've chosen the former.
no.. religiously driven population explosions... this is what breeds poverty and uselessness...
Sad "fun fact": EU supports other countries in their violation of human rights to allow EU to preserve human rights in their own territory. Thanks DW for revealing this hipocrisy!
thank you so much for hard work, dedication, truth, and kindness
Such an irony how Europe goes this and the Europeans then lecture us about human rights..
The discrepancy between the reasonableness of these arguments and their reputation is ridiculous.
Double standard as usual
What "human right" is it to cross a border illegally?
Then those thinking of doing it illegal just Don't Do It!!! You have a choice.

Euro investment not immigration to the Euro zone..wouldnt that create new markets for goods and services? Is that too simplified?
I almost believe European countries want immigration.
Just create an investment zone in each country...electricity, sanitation, light industry, housing fit for humans, a financial center, satellite 🛰 connection. Just one functional city could change the minds of people and prove immigration is simply not necessary.
Such a good point.
Too much corruption is actually the problem. They are just using colonialism (w/c happened decades ago) as an excuse

The reason they are fleeing is due to instability in the countries; economic and political. These are the underlying issues that fuel migration and no one asks for example, who is sending arms and funding the rebel groups or the war in said countries. Africans do not innovate guns or military trucks nor do we have a currency that can sway things in our favour. Facilitating safe immigration channels is indeed a solution but it is curing a symptom, not the causes. Systemic issues need to be addressed and whether Europeans (west majorly) like it or not, due to the colonial legacies, this concerns them. But Africans too need to bring sane, sustainable solutions to the table and not just asking Europe to welcome us. If we have the gall to cross deserts and oceans, we can channel that energy to making our countries better. Mental and physical energies are needed.

Their own governments are the ones abusing them.
Pure racism. What i see are decent people who do not deserve the political situations they were born into. They have goals and aspirations just like the rest of us - potentially more than i could say about some people living off government handouts in parts of Europe. The root cause is the lack of knowledge of the richness of African cultures. What i see are resilient people who speak with such composure after enduring unthinkable injustice. I cant imagine being that eloquent and calm while sitting in a desert at the mercy of a foreign government.
