Germany has agreed to open the doors to 250,000 skilled and semi-skilled Kenyan workers in a controlled and targeted labour migration deal. 

Kenya is struggling with increasing difficulties in providing work and sufficient income for its young professionals, while Germany is facing a shortage of skilled labour. 

Five Kenyan bus drivers have already been welcomed to Flensburg, in the north of Germany, in a pilot project. 

Migration agreements are a central pillar in the German government’s efforts to curb immigration.

Proactively working on their demographics issue by embracing immigration. The US could learn a lot by Germany’s example.

Naaah, not really. I don’t know where this suddenly came from but in the last couple of weeks our migration politics seem to develop into a really bad direction as well.

Yeah people are giving us way too much credit on this one, the whole country is going nuts closing our borders just to do something while my daily life is the same now as it was 1,2,5,10 years ago.

Based on the auto-preview thingy, it looks like it wasn’t your fault, it was the BBC’s.

"The German government has said the deal does not specify the number of workers who will be allowed in. "

I think BBC edited the article after you posted this but I couldn’t find the 250000 number from the title.

In any case this is great news for both countries.

Article shows :

Correction 14 September 2024: An earlier version of this article put a figure on how many Kenyan workers would be allowed into Germany under the deal. The German interior ministry corrected this to state that the deal did not specify a figure.

In Spain they just did the same. Legal and fancy slavery, interesting… Europeans will never change
