| - | During the period of 2000–2005, an estimated 440,000 people per year [[emigrate]]d from [[Africa]]; a total number of 17 million migrants within Africa was estimated for 2005. The figure of 0.44 million African emigrants per year (corresponding to about 0.05% of the continent's total population) pales in comparison to the annual [[population growth]] of about 2.6%, indicating that only about 2% of Africa's population growth is compensated for by emigration. | + | ==See also== |

| - | During the 2000s, [[North Africa]] had been receiving large numbers of [[Sub-Saharan Africa]]n migrants "in transit", predominantly from [[West Africa]], who plan to enter Europe. An annual 22,000 illegal migrants took the route from either Tunisia or Libya to [[Lampedusa]] in the 2000–2005 period. This figure has decreased in 2006, but it has increased greatly as a result of the 2011 [[Tunisian revolution]] and the [[2011 Libyan civil war]]. In 2005, 10,000 West African migrants heading for Europe were stranded in the Mauritanian port of [[Nouadhibou]], and 20,000 sub-Saharan African migrants were waiting for an opportunity to cross to Europe in the Spanish enclaves in North Africa. | + | ;Diaspora |

Of these, about half are of [[North African]] origin, mostly residing in [[France]], [[Italy]], [[Belgium]], [[Spain]] and the [[Netherlands]], while the other half are of [[Sub-Saharan Africa]]n origin, present throughout Western Europe, with significant concentrations in Belgium, France, [[Italy]], the Netherlands, [[Portugal]], Spain and the [[United Kingdom]]. | + | *[[French people in Madagascar]] |
