African immigration to Europe

African immigrants to Europe are those who live in or who are born in Africa, who immigrate to Europe. Although immigration from Africa to Europe has increased substantially in recent decades, it is not a recent phenomenon.

History

The Roman Emperor Septimius Severus was born in North Africa, in what is now modern day Libya. North Africans moved to Britain during Roman rule.

Some white British men have a Y chromosome haplogroup originating from sub Saharan African males.

Migration flows

Since the 1960s, the main source countries of migration from Africa to Europe have been Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia, resulting in large diasporas with origins in these countries by the end of the 20th century. In the period following the 1973 oil crisis, immigration controls in European states were tightened, but the effect of this was not to reduce migration from North Africa but rather than encourage permanent settlement of previously temporary migrants, and associated family migration. Much of this migration was from the Maghreb to France, The Netherlands, Belgium and Germany. From the second half of the 1980s, the destination countries for migrants from the Maghreb broadened to include Spain and Italy, as a result of increased demand for low-skilled labour in those countries.

WATCH: Rand traded in a tight range against US dollar

To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video

JOHANNESBURG - The rand traded in a tight range against the US dollar during Fridayâs European trading session. The South African currency started the day on the back foot due to somewhat disappointing Chinese data releases overnight. However, the rand later recovered some ground on the back of greenback softness as improved US equity prices reduced the safe-haven demand for US dollars. At the close of local trade, the rand quoted 0.3 percent weaker at R14.40/$, after trading in the range of R14.32/$ - R14.46/$. The rand traded slightly stronger this morning. Expected range today R14.20/$ - R14.50/$.

South African bourse

The JSE All Share (-0.1 percent) ended weaker on Friday dragged by losses in large industrial (-1.1 percent) and technology (-0.9 percent) shares. In the overall emerging market sphere, the MSCI Emerging Market Index (+0.06 percent) traded marginally higher. In local news, Clover (+18.4 percent) shares rose to its highest in nearly two months after the dairy company said that it is in talks with an unnamed firm that intends to acquire all its shares.

Brent crude oil

The Brent oil price traded higher on Friday boosted by surging Chinese demand, after rising us crude inventories and trade war concerns caused the price to drop last week. At the close of local trade, the Brent oil price quoted 1.1 percent higher at $80.54/pb. Crude prices traded slightly weaker during Asian trade this morning.
