SADC is to blame for the migration crisis

It is impossible to deny the existence of the migration crisis. Denial is not a choice.
The issue is that African leaders are reluctant to talk about the reasons behind migration.
African leadership must be able to address the complex problems that plague election theft on the continent. It is now a persistent issue that needs immediate attention.
For instance, SADC has consistently opted to remain silent rather than take decisive action.
The regional bloc is unlikely to confront those accused of undermining democratic governance because many Zimbabweans now see it as complicity through inaction, making it unlikely to face those who are alleged to be undermining democratic governance.
In my opinion, the SADC region's citizens need to band together and continue to put pressure on these dishonest governments that consistently rig or steal elections.
This is undoubtedly another factor contributing to migration. In front of the public, elections are being rigged.
The SADC secretariat has been known to disregard election-related reports from some of its members. They still support the big brother mentality, which needs to end immediately.
Every election in Zimbabwe is rigged, and nothing is done about it. Rather, you hear congratulations being sent to the incumbent by a few neighboring countries. The South African leadership, which has consistently supported the results of these elections each time Zimbabwe holds elections, is currently fighting this immigration issue.
Every time Zimbabwe holds elections, the same leadership has consistently supported the results.
Everybody in SADC knows how previous elections were stolen in Zimbabwe through Nervus Mumba's election report of 2023. Without making any compromises, we ought to confront this problem head-on.
The African continent must take action to solve this leadership crisis because we need leaders who can solve problems.
African leaders are reluctant to correct one another when they are in error and transgressing democratic and human rights principles.
It's always been murmurs from the African leaders when it comes to this issue. I don't know what is stopping them from boldly confronting the issue once and for all, even if it's going to irk some heads of state. Africa must find a way to stop this pandemic of migration.
