“…The African Union, the African diaspora in the United States, and the United States government must all work together to strengthen the Africa -U.S. partnership, including in trade, technology transfer, agriculture, and education. The United States must significantly increase the number of international students from Africa in its colleges and universities so that they can return to staff the African Union and regional organizations' bureaucracy (Kaba, 2004(Kaba, , 2005(Kaba, , 2006c(Kaba, , 2009a(Kaba, , 2019M'Cormack-Hale and Kaba, 2015).…”

This study examines the area, altitude, coastline, and climate of African nations. Africa’s 1.448 billion people in 2023 accounted for 18.14% of the world total of 7.979 billion, and its landmass of 30.32 million sq km, is 20% of the world total of 148.94 million sq km. Africa’s total coastline of 40,188 km is 11.3% of the world total of 356,000 km. Of Africa’s total area of 30,319,532 sq km, 574,393 sq km (2% excluding South Sudan) is water. There are 12 nations in Africa, each with an area of 1 million sq km or more. There are 16 nations in Africa with an average elevation ranging from over 1,000 meters to over 3,000 meters; and 17 nations with a peak elevation level of 3,000 meters or higher. Of 40 nations with hottest day temperature data, 5 (12.5%) are below 100 degrees; and 35 (87.5%) have figures ranging from 101.84 degrees to 124.34 degrees. Twenty-two nations (55% of 40) have coldest day temperatures in the 30s or lower; and 15 (37.5%) nations with temperatures of 32 degrees or less. There are 12 nations in Africa with average annual humidity figures of 60% or less. The study recommends that the African union lead the way in utilizing Africa’s strategic natural resources for its development. The study recommends that the African Union must work with the United States to ease the transition process for Black people returning to Africa from the United States in utilizing their expertise and wealth for Africa’s development.

This paper examines future pandemics in West Africa, the region's development, the role of the West African diaspora, especially in the United States, and the need to establish an Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) University System. West African countries were not as seriously impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic in terms of infections and deaths. With an area of 6.144 sq. km (62% of the area of the United States), it is endowed with important natural resources, including, gold, diamonds, oil, natural gas, fish, uranium, timber, phosphates, bauxite, iron ore, arable land, coal, rubber, and hydropower. It has one of the fastest-rising and youngest populations in the world, increasing from 261 million in 2006 to 442 million in 2023. West Africa has made significant economic and social progress in the past two decades. Its infant mortality rate declined from 86.40 deaths per 1000 of the population in 2006 to 48.7 deaths per 1000 in 2020. Its death rate declined from 14.47 deaths per 1000 of its population in 2005 to 7.9 deaths per 1000 in 2020. Its GDP increased from $377.84 billion in 2005 to $1.714 trillion in 2021. West African immigrants in the United States, in addition to Black Americans of West African descent, are a big portion of the 50.1 million population, with a net worth of $6.21 trillion as of December 31, 2022. They have contributed substantially to the economic and social progress in West Africa. The spending power of Black Americans by 2020 was $1.6 trillion. By December 31, 2022, there were 5.547 million Black Americans aged 18 and over with at least a bachelor's degree, and 442,000 with doctoral degrees. In 2019, West Africans accounted for 926,000 (44.2%) of the 2,094,000 African immigrants in the United States. In 2019, 41% of African immigrants in the United How to cite this paper: Kaba, A. J.

“…Posteriormente com o governo Trump (2017Trump ( -2021, as políticas crimigracionais americanas se tornam ainda mais sistêmicas e rígidas (Werlang, 2020) De início os imigrantes indocumentados e sem histórico criminal eram processados em tribunais civis e aguardavam em liberdade (Kaba, 2019). Desta maneira, a agenda securitária trumpista transformou a mobilidade humana em um crime e puniu o imigrante, ou seja, a lei de migração estadunidense convergiu com a lei penal para sentenciar de maneira desproporcional o ato de migrar.…”

Denomina-se “crimigração” a postura pragmática estatal que se utiliza da lei penal em convergência com a de migração, com objetivo de criminalizar as migrações e punir os imigrantes, criando-se, dessa forma, uma fronteira institucional, conjugada ao paradoxo do etiquetamento social e securitização das fronteiras. Para tal, muitos Estados optam pela adoção de agendas crimigratórias avessas aos tratados internacionais de proteção do migrante e empregam o controle social, tipificando-o na condição jurídica de irregular ou ilegal. O presente estudo desenvolveu-se por intermédio de pesquisa bibliográfica aliada à análise de dados. Buscou-se investigar tais fenômenos do processo da criminologia da mobilidade implementados pelo governo norte americano e alguns países do bloco europeu. Constata-se, no governo do ex-Presidente Trump, o maior declínio de entrada dos estrangeiros na história dos Estados Unidos (-87%). Ainda verifica-se que 736.900 deles foram expulsos da União Europeia entre 2020 e 2021.
