Will the March Go On?

Will the March Go On? Ethiopia could be the breadbasket of Africa, instead of the basket case! Ethiopian scientist Michael Buerk takes up the issues raised earlier in the evening by The March. Every month 5,000 Africans arrive by boat at the Sicilian port of Trapani, hoping to make a living in Europe. They are just part of the current migration from Africa caused by the desperate conditions back home. More than a million have come to Italy alone. Africans from nine different countries - grass-root voices and policy-makers alike - give their views on what can be done to alleviate conditions and develop the rich resources of their continent. They focus on the unequal relationship between Africa and Europe and challenge Europeans to do something about it.
