“Gerd Mueller said on Friday that in coming weeks Berlin would release details of what he called a - Marshall Plan with Africa – drawing a historical parallel to the US investment into Western Europe in the aftermath of World War Two. The new program would focus on youth, education and training, and strengthening the rule of law, Mueller said.”

"We have to invest in these countries and give people perspectives for the future," he told a news conference. "If the youth of Africa can't find work or a future in their own countries, it won't be hundreds of thousands, but millions that make their way to Europe."

The minister added that there are currently an estimated 20 million displaced persons in Africa.
