The head of the Central African Republic on Thursday accused the West of triggering a migration crisis by pillaging Africa's natural resources through slavery and colonization.
Taking the podium at the United Nations General Assembly, Faustin-Archange Touadera addressed the migrant crisis on the Italian island of Lampedusa, where thousands of African migrants arrived last week, overwhelming the local community and causing a major headache for the European Union.
"These young people who symbolize the present and the future of our continent are desperately seeking to join the countries of the European continent in search of an El Dorado," Touadera said.
"This escalation of the migrant crisis is one of the appalling consequences of the plundering of natural resources of countries made poor by slavery, colonization and Western imperialism, terrorism and internal armed conflicts," he added.
Western governments and aid organizations have poured billions of dollars into African countries suffering from hunger, armed conflict and other crises over the years, but critics say delivery of the aid is often hampered by corruption from local governments and militants

Wait until they meet the Chinese.
Yep!
How come none of those migrants are the sons or relatives of African ruling elites?
Ditto with all the grift countries south of the US former-border
Oh, good Lord, another one wanting to line up at the reparations trough.
You can have the disgruntled offspring of all your countrymen that the slave traders bought from your ancestors.....
Don’t people realize that when they whine victimhood, they are admitting “We are too weak or too dumb to have prevented it”?
Why isn’t Singapore lining up for reparations?
It was a British colony too!
Note to African countries - if you can’t feed them don’t breed them. No more aid without promises to introduce mandatory family planning.
More BS anti-colonialism. Where would Africa be without the West? Even if the so-called abuses of the Belgians and German colonialists, supposedly the worst of the lot, were doubly as bad as leftists historians have distorted, Africa is a better shithole than before colonialism.
Didn’t all the colonial powers in Africa leave more than 50 years ago? They have had self rule since then. Corrupt leadership leads to ruin. How sad that we are joining them in the corrupt leadership category
Yes, mostly over 50 years ago. Here’s a rarely told truth, many African colonies wanted colonial rule to continue because they knew they were unable to govern themselves.
No more aid, period. Fifty+ years of aid to Africa is what's caused this overpopulation to begin with. All that bleeding-heart altruism has come back to bite us on the [hinder].
Would that all the conspiracy theories about Bill Gates sterilizing African populations were true.
Did you ever see “Empire of Dust”? It’s about a Chinese man sent to Africa to build roads using local labor. It’s an interesting look at post-colonial Africa.

Be Africa. 60 million acres of uncultivated arable land. Nearly 60% of the world’s total. Starve. Flee to Europe by the millions for food.
We stole their knowledge of how to fly like birds around the pyramids they built in Egypt.
I watched that. The thing that I remember most about it was the look of sheer frustration and disappointment on the Chinese guy’s face.
How many taxpayer dollars have been funneled into that nation, and the others? Many, many, many!!!
