Italy’s far-right Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni came up with an ambitious plan to stem the numbers of unwell come migrants through proposed projects aimed at diversifying energy resources and forging a new, non-predatory relationship between Europe and Africa. During the Afro-European Summit, Italian Primer suggested multiple measures and development initiatives in areas such as education, health care, water, sanitation, agriculture, and energy infrastructure with an initial endowment of 5.5 billion euros. The primary purpose of Rome’s investment in the world’s poorest and most disadvantaged region is to create jobs and opportunities in Africa and discourage its youths from making dangerous migrations to Europe across the Mediterranean Sea.
Historically, the influx of foreign migrants from across Asia and Africa through legal and illegal means to mainland Europe has been a gigantic problem for the European Community while the situation in the states on the EU’s southern and eastern borders/shores along with the Mediterranean Sea has struck havoc, which is worsening every single day. Italy’s far-right leader Giorgia Meloni won the election on an anti-migrant agenda and coming into power she placed a curb on migration and banned humanitarian ships carrying migrants from docking at Italian ports. After Italy’s inhumane and stanch anti-migrant policies failed to produce desired results, Italy’s Meloni held a global huddle of European and African leaders and presented the idea of Africa’s development so Africans could avail all those comforts and luxuries for which millions of people from across Africa reached European countries and caused bulk problems for European leaders.
Interestingly, third-world countries have always accused developed Western nations of prejudice and biased conduct when it comes to the transfer of technology and the division of resources to less developed communities and regions in the world. Despite the fact, that Western businesses and manufacturing giants use low-paid labour, raw materials and natural deposits from the backward world. Group 77 and non-aligned nations had been fighting against Western discrimination at the global level over the past decades but failed until European leaders conceived the idea to develop the African continent to get rid of the ever-growing influx of migrants to their most privileged and advantageous region. Although Meloni and other far-right Europeans used prudence to deal with the Africans however the time would illustrate the success of their strategy in the future.
