in the fall of twenty seventeen ivory coast hosted to summit of the european union and african union called to focus on youth advancement it was meant to be a harmonious affair. but the e.u. arrived with a wish list it wanted guarantees that african states would take back citizens whose applications for asylum in europe had been rejected. amid a lack of consensus the issue of migration overshadowed the summit. we sat down with the african union's director for social affairs. just because of european migration on. so you keep everybody. on end of the girl's pursuit of all these sometimes trying to do one i don't want to use your deliberate but i see just too long intended consequences because there are natural minded bullshit of keep them all to keep them all topped off closed across in front of us is not a crime much how much we try to make you we all my kids are from somewhere. in africa's migration is a motor for development citizens working abroad sent money home. in many countries that income is more crucial than development aid from europe. so what sagal is to see like i said it

nations egypt seems to be the new hope of the european union you know for months now we had this idea of so-called disembarkation platforms it's another word for migrant camps in northern africa where the application of migrants could be treated the problem so far with a concept was that none of the northern african countries seemed interested now for the first time they have a name it's egypt that is willing to talk to them that doesn't mean they're really willing to have those camps in egypt but they're willing to talk which is sold here as a huge success and apparently all the leaders when this idea was brought forward by the bus are called the austrian chancellor of said. refugees another major issue looming at these talks is break that and there is a man and a prime minister present it happen and two leaders there how was it received. nobody really said anything as we understand midnight on wednesday that's when she presented her so-called checkers plan and the reaction is for today from the e.u. twenty seven so all the you member states minus the united kingdom but it seems like

that's why for example they're seeking closer cooperation with some northern african countries to install what they call disembarkation platforms in those countries which is just another word for caps and what about those north african countries have they indicated that they are willing to cooperate with the e.u. on these plans well the latest hope here is the latest hope to terry is egypt calls himself went to cairo to talk of a talk about this and apparently egypt is willing to do well to negotiate to engage in in talking the very careful in the wording here is so huge a peasant has said that they really want to do it but at least for the first time they have a they have a country in northern africa that's at least willing to talk about it but you know from from that to really establishing those those platforms as they call it it might be a long way but it's really the only hope they have at the moment or it's really that the path they are willing to go because they have these troubles with redistribution of migrants within the european union max thank you very much i did not talk on th
