The only approach to manage the challenge of forced displacement in Africa is to address the root causes. Root causes include, and not limited to historical issues. We propose a sustainable land reform as one perspective of addressing the root causes. We link the concept of human security to land security and relates them to socio-ecological vulnerability and resilience. It also explores sustainable land reforms as one comprehensive perspective of irregular migration management within the European Union-Africa partnership on migration control.
