Wie man Fluchtursachen schafft
Der Ausbau der EU-Flüchtlingsabwehr ist ein zentraler Schwerpunkt der gestern gestarteten Afrikareise von Bundeskanzlerin Angela Merkel. Wie Regierungskreise bestätigen, wird Merkel nach ihren gestrigen Gesprächen in Senegal auch heute in Ghana und morgen in Nigeria über Schritte verhandeln, um die Flucht von Menschen vor Armut, Hoffnungslosigkeit und Krieg zu unterbinden und die Abschiebung von Flüchtlingen aus Deutschland zu erleichtern. In Umfragen geben fast die Hälfte der befragten Senegalesen und rund drei Viertel der befragten Ghanaer und Nigerianer an, ihr Land verlassen zu wollen. Ursachen sind krasse Armut und eine dramatische Jugendarbeitslosigkeit. Arbeitsplätze vernichten systematisch Unternehmen aus der EU, die etwa senegalesische Küstengewässer leerfischen und damit Senegals Fischereibranche schwer schädigen oder auch Ghana mit Dumpinggeflügel überschwemmen und damit die einheimische Geflügelbranche in den Ruin treiben. Gespräche über den Stopp derlei fluchtverursachender EU-Praktiken stehen nicht auf Merkels Programm.
