Africa, Muslims in France, and North American Border
Cooperation
This month, the Source looks at emerging issues important to Africa.
Conflicts in West Africa combined with emerging health problems for refugees there are
finally garnering international attention. At the same time, international
migration to countries such as the United States has become an option for
increasing numbers of citizens across the continent.
This month:
Policy analyst Jeff Drumtra maps out the complicated refugee
crisis in West Africa arising from the wars in Liberia, Guinea, and Sierra
Leone.
MPI's Jennifer Schlecht looks at the war in Liberia to highlight
the health threats to refugees and other victims of violent conflicts in
Africa.
MPI's Kenneth Okoth provides a detailed country profile of
Kenya, a developing nation seeking to tap the resources of its educated diaspora and
improve the conditions of refugees within its borders.
In our Spotlight this month,
MPI's Jill Wilson presents
an in-depth look at the population of people born in Africa who now live in
the United States.
