MLGWUI Statement on Coup d’Ètat, in Africa

The current political instability situation in Africa is becoming a threat to African Migrants and Citizens especially youth and if African Union delays to find stable and harmonious solution to the continent situation, African citizens would resort to labour migration and political asylum seeking in other continents including Europe through irregular, unethical and disastrous manner  because there might be no security and peace in the African countries.
There is tendency of politicians using the youth as militant group(s) and if no concrete solution is not immediately taken, it could be a prone to a growing militancy among unemployed youth.
The current coup  d’état, happenings in Africa are  severely affecting the Migrant Workers and Members of their Families especially Gender in Migration; women migrants and children who are the most vulnerable.
Many of them who were breadwinners have become refugees while children education becomes discontinued and therefore there’s urgent need of  humanitarian, employment and education support in those various countries hosting refugee.
As  there are also challenges of labour migration to Europe and other continent but MLGWUI is making every effort to ensure  African Migrants, Returnees as well as Potential and Refugees receive employable business skills and coaching training to work with decent conditions not only taking caring of their families but also to contribute immensely towards the development in Africa.

It is upon this observations, that the Migrant Labour General Workers’ Union International (MLGWUI) with her education-legal-counselling department, Finnish-French Migrant Centre (FFMRC) made this humble statement appealing to the African Union and Heads of African States to consider present lives and living of Migrant Workers and Members of their families, Returnees, Refugees and Citizens and also fulfill their political propaganda, ambitions or promises in order to maintain peace and stability in the continent with decent employment for African citizens taking into consideration of Migration for Development in Africa with AU Migration Policy Framework for Africa and Plan of Action (2018-2030) which can achieve an integrated, prosperous and peaceful Africa to make AU Agenda 2060 possible.
MLGWUI believes militaries are well trained with intelligence and they understand peace and security for nations.  Militaries do not want Coup d’Ètat.  However, recent military intelligent actions proved that it is because of abuse of political powers that debars democracy, provoking utterances and unfulfilled political propaganda and promises by some African politicians led military action.

However, despite the above stated understanding side of military action, MLGWUI says NO to Military Regime in Africa but YES to Democracy in Africa.
MLGWUI in its stament further  calls on African Union to liaise with the  international communities and religious institutions to mobilize sustainable support to support affected Migrant Workers and Members of the families as well as citizens in coup d’Ètat and Refugees in the host countries.
MLGWUI urges African political presidential aspirants and political activists to be careful of their utterances towards judiciary and national security especially in Ghana.
MLGWUI humbly suggests to AU to engage with religious leaders for moral and prayer support to addressing or preventing Coup d’Ètat from African continent;
MLGWUI urges all Migrants to desist from any proposed or forced political militancy intimidation; and MLGWUI appeals to the disaster agencies, internal and international organisations to embracing displaced persons and affected Migrant Workers and Members of their families and citizens and offer them psychosocial counselling with needed assistance at their various centres of host countries or communities.
