In early 2024, Kenya struck a headline-grabbing deal with Germany to create 250,000 job opportunities for skilled and semi-skilled Kenyans. With youth unemployment at a staggering 84% and millions of jobless young people, this initiative was hailed as a potential game-changer. But is it really a win for Kenya, or just a shortcut to solving deeper economic issues?

Critics call it a "government-sponsored brain drain," arguing that relying on "circular migration" policies signals a lack of real investment in job creation back home. Others point out that remittances from abroad already outshine Kenya's top exports, making these deals attractive but possibly unsustainable in the long run.

Join us as we explore the highs, lows, and the global ripple effects of this controversial plan. Is this Africa's future or just a temporary fix for a growing problem? Share your thoughts in the comments! 🌍✈️
