CWN Editor's Note: Cardinal Berhaneyesus Souraphiel of Addis Ababa said that Western conceptions of African migration are inaccurate, since most migrants on the continent remain somewhere in Africa.

He said that the main cause of migration is government failure, due to “corruption, conflicts, and civil wars.”
