West warmongering behind Europe migrant crisis: Analyst
Press TV has conducted an interview with Abayomi Azikiwe, an editor for the Pan-African News Wire from Detroit, to discuss the migrant crisis in Europe.
The following is a rough transcription of the interview.
Press TV: No matter how much the German chancellor says that this is an impending crisis for Europe, unless root causes of these migrants leaving their countries and coming to European shores are all discussed the situation cannot be resolved. Will not you agree?
Azikiwe: Yes, and they could not discuss it because they are heavily implicated in the entire crisis and the United Nations has said, and I have repeated this on several occasions, that this is the worst refugee and Internally Displaced Persons crisis since the conclusion of World War II some 70 years ago. So therefore, the root of the problem is that the United States and its allies with the NATO have waged wars against people throughout the region. Now we see so many refugees coming from Syria because of the four and a half year long war that has been waged by the United States proxies inside Syria that is literally driven out millions of people from inside the country and this is true of Libya, it is true of Nigeria, it is true of central Asia, Afghanistan, Pakistan. So this is a crisis that was created by Washington and Wall Street.
Press TV: As these European leaders get together and scramble to figure out a solution, what options do they have in your opinion?
Azikiwe: They can change Western foreign policy towards the region, they can stop supporting states such as Israel, the current regimes that prevail now in the Persian Gulf, the war that has been waged in Yemen they could withdraw support from Saudi Arabia and the [Persian] Gulf Cooperation Council. These are initial measures that could be taken, that could stem the flow of instability and dislocation in the region.
