It becomes a great concern to a country if a high number of its young people, or of its professionals like graduates or medical personnel, want to go to another country.

Are these young people not among those most needed to develop their country? Should Europe and America not be helping the leaders of African countries to motivate their citizens to stay at home and develop their nation?
