WHAT IS THE ROOT CAUSE OF IMMIGRATION?

Nigerian author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, while speaking to France 24 about immigration, reminded viewers of the root cause: Europeans coming to Africa to enslave, plunder and colonise - and leaving Africa underdeveloped while robbing it of resources to this day. That’s why those in a panic in the EU and the United States about Africans seeking a new life there ought to be more understanding. Had the West not enriched itself at the expense of Africans and done everything to keep our continent down and divided, this ‘crisis’ would not be at their door. What are your thoughts on this?
