A long, but interesting article. Amazing are the hypocritical statements of EU officials. The most important policy to enable Africans to remain at home and not have to emigrate in search of an existence, is to protect the existence they have at home, not destroy it. Instead the EU offers “foreign aid” in the form of weaponry and technical assistance to stop emigrants. Then there is the climate question. Milk results in high CO². If it is cheap, more people will drink it. Thus the EU is subsidising CO² production. The real joke is on the young European Oooh-EUs, who are reducing their dairy product intake to stop climate change, only for it to be sent to Africa, destroying traditional farming.
