Intra-African migration

Africa hosts the fourth largest number of global international migrants. In 2017, 25 million people migrated within and outside it.^[1] Most of migration in Africa occurs within the continent as 19 million people moved between African countries. The surge in international migration within Africa is due in part by the efforts of African states and international institutions to enhance regional integration.^[2] Regional migration in the African continent is also largely facilitated by the development of infrastructure and diffusion of western languages and culture.^[3]
