Conservative Shadow Foreign Secretary The Right Hon. Andrew Mitchell MP was a special panel guest at CMEC's second conference event in Birmingham for CPC24 - "Tackling migration starts in North Africa" - does it?"
CMEC Director Charlotte Leslie chaired the panel discussion which also included Middle East experts Ghanem Nuseibeh, the businessman and Chairman of Muslims against Antisemitism, and Major General Jonathan Shaw CB CBE, the retired soldier, author and consultant.
Our experts discuss the issues such as war, climate change, food and water shortages which are driving migrations flights from the Sahel area of Africa and North Africa.
