Based Erirea. Eritrea is the only African nation that does not

US aid actually brings down African economies because African businesses can't compete with free. However, I wouldn't call them 'based', they rank last in freedom of the press.

There is a dire shortage of skilled workers in developing countries. Why?

There are various reasons. Perhaps they cannot afford to get trained, or perhaps they lack the necessary facilities. Or perhaps a large number of skilled workers went to various First World countries, as immigrants or otherwise. (Despite the threat of not even being able to practice that skill upon arrival).

This is counterproductive: in a developing nation struggling to build infrastructure, what could possibly be the benefit of shipping out your best and brightest professionals? Some of those professionals may send money "home" once they are established abroad, but somebody still has to tend the sick and injured back "home" and somebody still has to pave the roads, build the schools, teach the pupils, etc. Money sent home is great, but it cannot immediately fill vacant jobs if there are no skilled candidates to fill them. First World countries that seek out skilled immigrants are predatory in this regard, for they keep the developing world in a never-ending cycle of poverty. More shocking still, is that many migrants seem to care little for the welfare of their fellow countrymen they are leaving behind. Indeed, it appears to be a selfish decision based on personal desires to get rich and prosperous.

Why are migrants fleeing their home countries? Because they are underdeveloped. Why are they underdeveloped? Because migrants are fleeing their home countries.

A certain employment cycle in the developed (immigrant-seeking) world goes like this:

1. Shortage of labor therefore immigrant quotas must be increased or manipulated.
2. Westerners forced out of labor-intensive jobs. (The jobs we supposedly won't do anyway. Because, we're all supposed to be white-collar business executives.)
3. Whites must all become white-collar business executives with long years of school and training.
4. Low-skill jobs outsourced to semi-developed nations. We become a tertiary society (heavily dependent upon education and training).
5. Education goes up which causes the fertility rate to go down. More immigration needed!

How can undeveloped states develop if they are too poor to afford to do so, and their most capable citizens emigrate the first chance they get (if they get that chance)? This perpetuates inequality in the most vicious of ways, and ironically it is all packaged from the developed world as "helping people find a better life".

The short-term solution is not the nicest one.

It's time immigrants gave some consideration to helping their own people "find a better life", rather than just themselves. Long-term development will require skilled professionals (of any kind) actually living and remaining in developing nations to promote the advancement of those states. As long as this brain drain continues, poverty will persist.

whoa ethiopia got cucked

its actually another shitty african shithole

you are aware that they are the North Korea of Africa, right?

It can't be based, everyone wants to leave it. Its a huge source of African economic refugees. It as a state was simply a matter of European imperialism. It should be recombined with Ethiopia, but politicians in both countries would rather use it as a distraction from their own problems then come together.

If anything Ethiopia should be divided further.

It's difficult, its easy to romanticize old Amharic Ethiopia on one hand, but it seems that power just shifted to the Tigray and true harmony doesn't exist.
