Merkel looks to Africa to cement a legacy shaped by migration 2 SHARES Share it! Share TweetBy ReutersBERLIN (Reuters) – German Chancellor Angela Merkel pledged on Tuesday a new development fund to tackle unemployment in Africa, a problem spurring the mass migration that has shaped her long premiership as it nears its end. German Chancellor Angela Merkel waits for Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed to arrive at the Chancellery in Berlin, Germany, October 30, 2018. The 119,000 Africans who arrived in Europe in 2018, according to the International Organisation for Migration, are the tip of the iceberg. Merkel has said she will remain chancellor but that her current, fourth term up to 2021 will be her last.
