Evaluate the impact of emigration on two African countries.

The question requires that candidates make an appraisal of the impact of emigration on two African countries weighing up its importance or otherwise. Impacts may extend beyond the timeframe but they must be clearly linked to the issue raised in the question. Candidates may refer to the impact of emigration of educated/skilled individuals which may have a detrimental impact on the economy, government etc. Emigration may relieve economic or social stress, or it may relieve ethnic strife and rivalry through the emigration of various groups to another country. Emigration may allow political dissidents to locate to another country. This might be a source of difficulty for a country if the emigrants established political or military movements with the goal of overthrowing the government of their native country or creating unrest in that country. Large-scale emigration might be seen as a criticism of the government of the emigrants' home country and might be a source of political discontent. Other impacts may be considered, depending on the countries chosen. Candidates’ opinions or conclusions will be presented clearly and supported by appropriate evidence.
