Alarming!
Every year, around 40% of Africa’s skilled professionals—including scientists, teachers, tech experts, and engineers—leave their home countries. This migration results in approximately 3 million Africans living abroad annually, which significantly impacts the continent’s workforce amidst ongoing challenges such as civil conflict, corruption, and governance issues.
This silent crisis costs Africa billions, leading to an estimated annual loss of $2 billion in remittances. As a result, healthcare systems collapse, schools become disrupted, and innovation stagnates, as many professionals choose to work outside their home countries.
Dr. Alhaji K. Tarawally’s book, “African Brain Drain,” reveals for the first time how U.S. immigration policies contribute to this massive exodus and presents powerful solutions to address the crisis.

Reversing the tides
In “African Brain Drain: How American Immigration Policies Fuel the Brain Drain,” Dr. Alhaji K. Tarawally examines a critical issue facing Africa today. This book not only discusses the departure of skilled professionals from their home countries but also provides an in-depth analysis of the factors driving this trend. These factors include internal push elements such as poverty, conflict, and poor governance, as well as attractive pull factors from Western nations, especially the U.S. Immigration policies like H-1B visas and the Diversity Visa Lottery, inadvertently contribute to the loss of talent.
The brutal, untold immigrant story of the African diaspora.
