Abstract
The current pandemic with it related migration and refugee crisis is a catastrophe affecting millions of families, endangering the stability of nations that are hosts to large numbers of migrants, and of the region around them. Forced migration flows which are mismanaged, as at present, create large negative political and economic externalization for the world as a whole. Concerns of advanced countries that accepting forced migrants will cause job losses or falling wages, and place an undue burden on the public purse in this era of the pandemic of which are largely unjustified. Although there is no perfect scheme for allocating the burden, any solution must envisage increased numbers of refugees settling in the North and increased aid for the countries in the South with the largest numbers of refugees. Migrants risk all to death in reaching their destination putting behind how infectious covid are. Every day, hundreds of unaccountable African youth are confidently tricked into modern day slavery through irregular migration. The trend of these irregular migrations represents one of the biggest humanitarian tragedies, rendering most African youths who were intellects and vision holders to be hopeless and vulnerable within the scope living as undocumented migrants for which they constitute the greater work force of their nation.
