For example, there will inevitably be even greater numbers of Africans seeking refuge in Europe. And the United States, having abandoned the soft power of foreign aid, will alienate many governments across the world that were friends, so damaging U.S. business and security interests over time.  

The humanitarian crises that we dare to ignore

The failure of Western governments to address the humanitarian disasters and the corruption fueling conflicts in Africa is as short-sighted as it is tragic.

Many initiatives have been proposed (Military assistance mission in support of Ukraine, maritime security operation ASPIDES, adoption of the EU space strategy for security and defence, and the cyber resilience act, reinforcement of the single intelligence analysis capacity and the EU satellite Centre, adoption of the third EU-NATO joint declaration, publication of a European defence industry package, including a strategy and a legislative proposal for a defence industry programme among other initiatives).
