Largest Expat Group in each African Nation

You hear a lot in the Western media about Africans migrating abroad, but what about foreigners moving to Africa? In this clip, we’re shown which non-African nationalities form the biggest expat communities in each African country. It’s an interesting picture. In some places, it corresponds to who the former coloniser was, in others not. A lot of the migration from China, India and Lebanon is driven by business, trade and investment. The tourism sector and multinationals also attract many expats. Does anything surprise you in this map?
