Please note: The employment quotas highlighted by President Ruto in his interview with DW have later been refuted by the German government, with the Federal Ministry of the Interior clarifying that these numbers are non-binding and referring to the stipulations of the German Skilled Immigration Act.

The AfD hardly needs to campaign at this point because it seems like the SPD is doing their job for them. With every misstep and unpopular policy, the SPD is just pushing more voters towards the AfD. It's a gift that keeps on giving!
Keep the Africans in Africa, so that they can built up their own countries. Africa is beautiful and has so many natural resources but their people need to stay put and built up their countries
I don't find this particularly controversial. Germany has a long post-war history of guest workers (Italians, Turks...). What the German government is doing is absolutely right, it was about time. The previous government missed out on these measures. Of course, right-wing radicals will only partially like this ("I'd be happy to deport them, but no thanks to immigration"), but logically speaking, the solution is sensible. Closer cooperation with Africa is extremely overdue. The West is losing ground there to China. Intellectually disadvantaged people in the West allow themselves to be dominated by anti-Americanism and succumb to the illusion that an alliance with dictatorships such as China and Russia would improve the situation.
Your worry should be illegal immigration. Legal immigrants often arrive paying tax or with their own money to spend on accommodation, food and education.

@@GeorgiaMartin-ll9qg would have been better to hear Germany is donating buses to Kenyan government, drivers will be licenced from Germany, jobs created in Kenya, for the Kenyans . Who will take care of our senior citizens when the entire population of the youth is driving buses for peanuts 8000 km away from home? Acheni mchezo!!!
@@fada3399 eeeh! Why not? There's a race against time to re-occupy Africa. They should work on those deals with their European neighbours coz fimbo ya mbali haiui nyoka. But to them, it's kutupia kuku mahindi and then catch it when it's close and shortly afterwards, the stomach is full.
Kenya wins this deal so hard even if it isn't good for them. Germany just screws over a bunch of locals for cheaper payouts to keep the rich richer instead of paying their citizens fair wages. Total joke Germany is.
This is BS. No young German wants to be a bus driver, or work as a nurse or in old age home. Then how do you fill positions? No country for old men phew phew phew !!!!
No kenyan wants to come to that cold heatless country.. Ruto is there alone, kenyans will not come to germany.. to do what? drive buses? with degrees? that is Ruto's wet dream
My father, of Prussian blood, was born in Germany. I applied to return to the father land. The government said I'm not German enough. Interesting isn't it?
Sounds like you just made that up. If you're a 2nd gen german you can be granted a passport at the consulate immediately. I should know as thats what i did. My father has never ever been there
Well low key if you make your German heritage claims sound like an application for an entry level internship with the third reich throwing around terms like "Prussian Blood" and "Fatherland", that turns a lot of people off. I celebrate my German heritage by fondly remembering how my grandmother still made many German dishes like nudelsalat and wurst mit mashed potatoes and apfelmuss even when it was her grandparents that emigrated. I also celebrate the fundamental priorities of the Grundgesetz, particularly article 1.
@MTM3016 I am quite surprised to hear they use the term blood and not lineage or ancestry and the term Bundesrepublik and former territories of predecessor states.
@MTM3016 Yeah so actually you are completely wrong. I just did a quick ctrl+f to search for the terms vaterland or blut in the entire Staatsangehörigkeitsgezetst (law on obtaining citizenship) and neither terms appear. But actually my point about celebrating the primary principles of the modern democratic state as outlined in basic law is mentioned multiple times!
@@rue2003 because the studies he did there don't equate to the studies a German doctor did. Even doctors from EU countries struggle to get their medical degrees recognized in some other EU countries. Sometimes due to practical differences in the school systems. Sometimes they don't need extra doctors and don't want the competition.
The big problem here is, you cannot work in Germany without first learning their german language. lt takes years for you to speak and write fluent german. And for the doctors , the language could be more difficult.😮
Do you need an agreement for this? Or is Germany saying that Kenya will be giving preferential treatment by employing only their skill workers or that they will be employed before others? This I think is a normal process that is already in place. Qualified immigrants from different countries are already employed in Germany and illegal ones have been repatriated. So what is really the point?
Apparently you do. I don't know about Germany in particular, but in order to gain access to the job market in France, a citizen from West Africa first has to get at least a two-year degree IN France. I do not know of any avenue for skilled workers in Africa, college educated or not, to apply for a job in France FROM Africa. Is there any in Germany? Try to google Members Of Ghana Church Pray With Passport And Flags Of Countries They Want To Relocate To. This is happening in Ghana. Not in Mali, Tchad, Sudan, etc. In Ghana! Once in France, foreign students receive the subsidies that are available to anyone with a French social security number (CAF and others, I don't know the details), but one first has to be granted a visa to study in France. Scholarships for applicant living in Africa are extremely rare, and the granting is highly intransparent. Income requirements for student visa applications are so stringent that they are reserved for those with relatives or friends in the diaspora or for the money elite in Africa. The easiest path is to have someone already working in the West who is willing to sponsor your application: the person must have permanent residency in the country where he or she is working, meet certain income limits requirements, and submit a copy of the last three pay stubs. The problem with becoming a sponsor is that once approved, one can only be let off the hook after the student has presented another sponsor. Sponsoring a visa is like co-signing on a loan, you never know how it will end; things happen, but you only do that for someone who cares deeply about you. I sponsored student visas for siblings. I would not do it for anyone else. Cameroon has a monthly minimum wage of 55 euros for 40 hours a week, a yearly Gross National Income of 1480 euros, and an average monthly salary of 800 euros. In order to prove that the sponsor in Africa can afford to pay for a person's education in France, he or she has to provide pay stubs, or personal assets; 90% of the active population in Cameroon is employed in the informal sector, i.e., cannot provide any proof of source of income, so people typically go the personal asset route. Personal assets accepted for the application would be a store, a company, a farm, etc. that generates enough income to sponsor a visa. My father operated a small manufacture, and was able to sponsor my visa. When I graduated, Germany did not yet allow foreign students to look for work, so I emigrated to Canada. Once I started working, we used my pay stubs. I took care of younger siblings as I could, and so on, until we were all done with school. Proof of enough financial means to sponsor a student visa in France is currently defined as being able to send at least 615 euros monthly. For sponsors in Africa using their personal assets, this means putting 615 euros x 12 months on an account on which the embassy will place a hold, so that maximal 615 euros can be withdrawn every month once in France; the French embassy only works with specific banks. When the sponsor lives in Africa, this needs to be done at every visa renewal application until the end of the studies; I studied in Germany, my father had to do this every two years. 7380 euros is a lot of money everywhere, but in Cameroon, it is a small fortune. Still, the problem is not to gather the money, but to prove that the money comes from a sustainable source, in a country where 90% of the active population has no verifiable source of income. This is why we hear of people paying 10000 euros to risk their lives trying to enter Europe illegally: it is practically impossible for them to apply for a visa (they can only plead asylum or humanitarian reasons - granted to receive medical treatment not available in your country). I, and those of my siblings who wished to do so studied and became permanent residents in Western countries; three chose not to. But I am well aware that our family is not the typical Cameroonian family. Growing up, going abroad was an option I knew I had. I did not particularly long to live in Europe, but I was not accepted into a school in Cameroon, so I left. Around the time I graduated, Canada was promoting their immigration programs, and it was largely feasible, so I went to Canada; my immigration visa was granted one year before graduation. After obtaining citizenship in Canada, I emigrated to the US with my family; my husband is Ivorian, and has a similar path to mine. That's it. So yes, such agreements are needed for the average Kenyan citizen who wishes to look for a job in Germany.
It's an ownership deal. Germany silently enslaving Kenyans and Ruto gladly handing them over. I live in Germany. Please stay home and build the nation. I wish I had never left.
@@maswaikelvin6493 What skills? They are not going there for research! Skills acquired in Germany can not necessary be applied in Kenya because of the different 'systems'! Construction skill? Germany has winter and summer, how can that assist Kenya construction industry? Kenyan doctors can only go there to study(research), then maybe work. But we need more doctors in Kenya. Ruto needs to create jobs in Kenya! Kenyans will suffer in Germany. The culture shock they will face!!
How many more people does Germany need? Just train the ones that are already there. This is insanity. I'm sure the AdF will not use it against the government next year.
@@droskie5 I think the troll is referring to Puerto Ricans, like his flag. They did change East New York, like the book How East New York Became a Ghetto explains.
when we send our young Kenyans outside the country, they do not reproduce ,no children, Kenya population goes down, we might imagine we are being helped but , there are many questions, life is hard outside Kenya, but we are given to understand otherwise
Does Olaf and Ruto tell you guys that there's a housing problem, you will be heavily taxed ,will live on debt forever and when you are fed up being here, you will be without pension? I'm telling you to ask them those questions coz I live in Germany in a tiny apartment since 30 years and when I retire, I will need to supplement my pension by picking up bottles or living off soup kitchens. . We are fed up of these lies.
Brain drain from Kenya?? The world famous center of invention and education. Africa is so advanced on the field of education, they are sure to educate germany in the right direction.
Kenyans are very educational & don't need to go to Germany, what have your people invented tariq bairic??? Kenyans hate the west & want to remain in their countries
do not mislead the young people, you can not work soon hard to kick your children out of the house only to bring other children from outside, that is killing the family, we need our young people in the country, the have to carry on the Kenyan legacy, we are a rich country, our children should not be begging,
Good news for Germany, falling birthrate means you need low skilled workers from elsewhere who are cheap. You blindly followed America in dispising Russia who made your economy great but now u shuld do the right things
@@maswaikelvin6493 more often than not, that's not what's gonna happen. They're gonna be part of Germanys work force, and send remittance back home. Then repeat.
What lies you have never been to Japan, were suffering with high taxis even workers for Indonesian, Philippines are not making a dent we have so many open positions in healthcare, farming, tourism, construction now blue collar jobs as well. It is super easy to get a part time job In Japan it's only hard if you want to work at Disney or Starbucks as there famous. Our traditional Japanese industry business are shutting down as they are no workers.
Exactly, Ruto is an odd president. He also skippity hopped to Haiti, to prepare the grounds there for western troops/control/exploitation. I think his government is trying to compete with Rwanda for foreign (western) influence. But he is very blind to reality. Rwanda's deportation deal with Uk is also extremely questionable to say the least.
I find it weird how governments are saying they have a shortage of skilled workers. They might as well have a massive sign up saying, "we are incompetent, " as they can't train their own people. And this is Germany we are talking about. They are known for training their young.
Do you know how expensive a bus driver license in Germany is? you can fly over several bus drivers from africa for the same amount of money. And not everyone is suitable for this job.
Here in Germany, we have regulations allowing skilled workers in shortage jobs (Engpassberufe) into the market, but they are either not in effect or not being enforced. The problem is that people from other countries can and will apply for any job, instead of just those jobs we have a shortage of. Part of the reason is that many of those shortage jobs require a high proficiency in German, and oftentimes new arrivals don't have that, so they get retrained in professions where we already have an abundance of skilled workers. It is a prime example of how public policy is not very well thought through or being executed..
Abandon ship, exert what Haiti did. The idea we have too much labour would have meant we make things here and export it to Germany where they have less labour to make things.
Without imported cheap labor germans would never had recover from 2 world war defeats, you're lucky europe allowed you to still exist, could have had an hungary type of territorial loss. Maybe would have been better the countries that suffer the most share all of german territory betwen them.
Great move! Solving elegal immigration from Africa and at the same time offering much needed legal workforce from Kenya👍 I hope Germany is aware that if the important guests are getting mistreated it will be a globally viewed issue that will cause huge problems for Germany!!!
no, mistreatment won't be a huge problem for Germany, because their legal system is strong. Can we say the same about Kenyan and african legal systems that are not able to fight corruption?
There is nothing forward looking. In exporting poverty. The forward looking is to develop Africa. With capitalism, industry and jobs. In stead of just exporting the people and poverty to Europe. Migration is not a legitimate export industry.
