2020 hatten die EU als großes Afrikajahr geplant. In Afrika ist der Frust über das aktuelle Verhältnis zu Europa groß. "Die Beziehungen zwischen Europa und Afrika waren niemals fair. Trotz Begriffen wie 'internationaler Zusammenarbeit' ist es ein ungleiches Verhältnis, bei dem Europa die Rolle des Mentors und Afrika die des Schülers einnimmt", sagt die nigerianische Forscherin Lynda Iroulo vom GIGA-Institut für Afrika-Studien. Migration ist ein zweiter Streitpunkt. Die EU drängt afrikanische Länder, ihre Grenzen besser zu sichern. Die Regierungen sollen verhindern, dass illegale Migranten nach Europa kommen. Wer mitmacht, bekommt Geld und Ausrüstung aus Europa. "Das europäische Migrationssystem ist von seiner Struktur und seiner Ausführung darauf ausgelegt, Afrikaner auszuschließen", kritisiert Iroulo im DW-Interview. read more

Sicher ist: Die Behörden sind völlig überfordert. Mindestens 15.000 Migranten sind im Laufe des Jahres auf den Kanaren angekommen, so viele wie seit 2006 nicht mehr. Ein Grund dafür: Die anderen Wege nach Europa sind versperrt. Der Weg über das Mittelmeer von Nordmarokko nach Südspanien ist wegen intensiver Kontrolle durch die Küstenwachen immer schwieriger geworden. Und auch an den spanischen Exklaven Ceuta oder Melilla gelangt kaum noch jemand über den Grenzzaun. Also führt der Weg wieder über die gefährliche Atlantikroute: Etwa von der Westsahara oder von Mauretanien aus auf die Kanaren. read more
