Why Migrate?NEED TO MOVE
"When people move they move for a reason. They move because the population has
expanded. They move because the resources which support the population in the
settlements have become more or less inadequate. They move because there are
changes to the climate and they move for the sake of finding better areas in which to live.”~Professor Leonard Ngcongco, University of
Botswana

Why Migrate?"Chief among the reasons for migration is
environmental stress and population increase in West Africa, forcing people to move. It is important to realize that these
people are not moving across the landscape like bugs bunny or the energizer bunny, but
essentially they are moving slowly, gradually inhabiting areas that were good for farming
and livestock raising."~ Dr. Chapirukha Kusimba, Field Museum,
Chicago.• On Page 4 of your Migration Journal list the two reasons why the quote says the Bantu people
moved
