Migrants' African routes

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
In trying to discover other locations in Sub-Saharan Africa where talent partnership programs might have been implemented, I encountered these two articles that show a tremendous contrast in quantity and quality when compared to the amount of material available on the same issue from the non-African perspective. I thought that populating these articles with valuable and updated information could be of some use to non-profit organizations and potential African emigrants and refugees alike.

Evaluate the article
Emigration from Africa:


 * 1) Only 10 references (vs. 46 in the African immigration into Europe) and 3 books in the bibliography. Needs additional citations for verification.
 * 2) Statistics need updating (they only go to 2017) Some of the references are more recent (2020), but the whole article would benefit with more state-of-the-art knowledge and references.
 * 3) Since it refers to contemporary African diaspora, a lot more information could be included, cross-referencing and linking to other articles, such as Migrants' African Routes.
 * 4) It only discusses migration to Europe and Oceania, with vague references to the rest of the world.
 * 5) There are only Greek and Russian versions of the article. It would be good to work on the French and the Spanish version, since both languages are spoken in certain African countries.

Migrant's African routes:


 * 1) As the warning states, it lacks encyclopedic tone.
 * 2) There's a non-numbered list of references, but lacks inline citations.
 * 3) It is very brief. I am sure there is more information available on the different routes.
 * 4) Climate change migration is accelerating and it would be important to have the article reflect that.
 * 5) There are only Italian and Slovenian versions of the article. It would be good to work on the French and the Spanish versions, since both languages are spoken in certain African countries.
