The Homecoming: Born in France but searching for a future in Africa – BBC Africa Eye Documentary

C’est une très bonnes idées , suis très curieux mais quant à moi je chercherai plus de solutions avant de pouvoir me lancer. Je te souhaite le meilleur c’est le plus important.

I'm happy to see young people returning to live and build the land that gave us all life. Yet while watching this a bitter feeling arose in me based on the fact that most of the youth knew where they were from. For a person born in the UK from Caribbean parents feels completely cut off inside when we think about it. Where do we go? Where are we accepted? Where is home? Deep in my heart I will NEVER EVER forgive European countries involved in this severing of my historical umbilical cord with that part of who I am.

So long as the European communities are designed to remind you everyday that you are a foreigner even for those born and raised in those respective European countries like Germany, France, England, you will never get the feeling that you are part of them, unfortunately the longer you stay in these countries, the stronger the feeling and urge to seek a place where your are simply accepted no matter who you are, and that place is the place of your origin! And as long as we have 2 different races, racism will never leave our communities. God Bless!!

This is great. I applaud the desire to return back home. There are so many of as talented Africans living abroad if our governments had the will to give good governance the continent would benefit with all the professional assets that the diaspora could bring back. We could make Africa great!!

Nour Abida you are a brave woman for your move.

I pray my kids dont EVER MAKE THIS MISTAKE!!! I DID EVERYTHING TO MAKE SURE THEY WERE BORN IN A SECURE, CLEAN PLACE, A BETTER PLACE; I didnt want my kids to grow up the way I did. Good luck young man, hope you dont regret your choice!

The negative portrayal of Africa in Western media costs us billions in tourism and investment.

Anywhere you go as a black person living in this planet you’ll face racism and white supremacy. Except for probably small pockets where black people are clustered, everywhere else the attitude is, “You don’t belong here! Go back to Africa!”

And with that in mind, I encourage my fellow Black Brothers and Sisters, be it you’re from the Motherland or living outside of Africa this includes also Black Americans, Caribbean Blacks, And anybody who considers themselves Black, your home is Africa.
And She’s calling us home.

I pray one day this will be realized and we can safely return to where we came from as Black people of this planet.

Racism is so cruel and monstrous that it punishes you for not not being in your own country to make it prosper and respected wherever you go because you can't be questioned , Anywhere else it's poisonous because you'll be always an outcast, In France it's disgraceful not worh to try it.

As an african disapora who decided to uproot a young family to return back to the continent 16 years aho, i have not regretted my decision. I have raised my family in dignity and with our african values. We have lived in 6 countries and in every country we reconfirm and validate our decision. Adjust your expectation, embrace the society, and jump on the journey of transformation that Africa has embarked on. This is the time, not in five years. Now!

As these African diaspora move to the continent, African governments will a revenue source. To maintain that revenue stream, African governments will be forced to improve things like infrastructure, waste management, healthcare, etc. This is the case with for example Accra, Ghana. Accra has changed significantly since with increased in tourism from diaspora.

Now, I wonder if the Europeans in places like North and South America, Australia etc. also going to start going home.

I'm having this exact feeling currently. I'm coming back to Africa in the next 5 years. I recently went to my original country Guinea and was quite surprised about how everything has changed positively and talking to my friends there made me realize how much wealth I could make there. There is this sentiment you feel in Europe where no matter how much time you spend there, you'll never feel home there. You'll feel different and only in Africa you won't feel disrespected or degraded for who you are. My country Guinea is improving fast, like the income per person has risen by almost 1000 $ and the gross revenue of the country has doubled in less than 10 years.

Its good Africans coming back home may your plans come to pass

It's very sad to hear an African basically implying that Africa means nothing to them yet it's their motherland! 🙄

This is the problem in the states…no identity!!!!

Ah yes but many will be back for any medical stuff they need to sort and some will have figured out how to get their benefits still while not being in France! It is true that European countries are finished and while there will be a number of successes of higher standards of living there will still be corrupted GOV officials and companies taking advantage….
