German Chancellor Angela Merkel on Friday wrapped up a week of Africa diplomacy aimed at slowing the flow of migrants to Europe from a continent battered by conflict and poverty.

She hosted Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari, having also met Chad's head of state Idriss Deby two days earlier following a three-day whirlwind tour of Mali, Niger and Ethiopia, the seat of the African Union.

As Germany, Europe's top destination for people fleeing war and misery, looks to chair the G20 next year, she has pledged to step up efforts to help Africa and fight the causes of the mass migration.

"I think we will need to take a vastly greater interest in the destiny of Africa," Merkel said at the start of her first major Africa trip in five years. "The well-being of Africa is in Germany's interest."

Data backs up that notion -- while most asylum-seekers in Germany so far this year came from Syria, Afghanistan and Iraq, Germany has also taken in over 13,000 Eritreans and thousands from other African countries.

More than 10,000 came from Nigeria, the oil-rich economic giant now grappling with a plunge in crude prices and the Boko Haram jihadist insurgency that has claimed over 20,000 lives and spilled into Cameroon, Chad and Niger.

At a joint press conference with Buhari, Merkel stressed support for the country's battle against Boko Haram, but also said that Germany would send back most Nigerians.

She said that while most refugees from war zones like Syria were granted asylum, "the approval rate for people from Nigeria is only eight percent. We presume that most of them came for economic reasons."

Merkel on her three-nation trip repeatedly warned Africans against crossing dangerous deserts and seas for an uncertain future in Europe.

"Often it's the young people who head for Europe with completely wrong ideas," she said in Addis Ababa. "They risk a life-threatening journey without knowing what's waiting for them or even whether they'll be able to stay."

The best way to stop the mass flight would be to encourage greater stability in their countries of origin, Merkel said, picking up on the theme of an EU-African Summit held in Malta last year.

The list of goals is ambitious -- promoting democracy, fighting terrorism and fostering prosperity through investment.

In Mali, Merkel said it was crucial that "African countries don't lose their brightest minds" needed to develop their own countries.

Merkel said that as chair of the Group of 20, Berlin would next year host a conference on investment in Africa, especially in the transport and energy sectors.

In poverty-stricken Niger, a major migrant transit country, she pledged 10 million euros in military aid and 17 million euros to encourage human traffickers to switch livelihoods.

The aid was relatively modest compared to something on the scale of the "Marshall Plan", the US's $12 billion post-WWII assistance to Europe, that President Mahamadou Issoufou called for from the EU.

"Merkel's trip was mainly a message sent to European and German audiences that said, 'we are actively doing something'," to reduce migrant flows, said Annette Weber of the German Institute of International and Security Affairs.

With huge youth unemployment, repression and conflict in many states pushing people to leave home, she said, the migratory pressures were unlikely to stop soon.

Merkel -- facing a backlash at home over last year's huge migrant influx -- is also working on more short-term solutions.

Berlin has proposed EU deals with North African countries modelled on the pact the bloc this year struck with Turkey, the main transit country for Middle Eastern migrants.

Under that controversial deal, the EU pledged billions in aid and eased visa access in return for Turkey taking back irregular migrants stranded on Greek islands and fighting traffickers. The EU Commission has expressed skepticism about trying to apply the costly and uncertain approach in Africa.

Other approaches have also met with mixed success. Germany this year moved to declare Algeria, Morocco and Tunisia as safe countries of origin, to raise the bar for asylum requests.

But the bill has been stuck in the upper house for months over human rights concerns in those Maghreb nations.

On Thursday, German Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere suggested that migrants rescued at sea should be taken to "accommodation facilities" in north Africa.

"Their need for protection would be verified and we would put into place a resettlement to Europe with generous quotas, fairly divided between the European countries," he told reporters in Luxembourg. "The others have to go back to their home countries."

Democrat Hillary Clinton and her Republican White House rival Donald Trump went head-to-head on Monday night in a prime-time duel in front of tens of millions of American voters. Here is a selection of key quotes from the first of three debates leading up to the November 8 election: Stamina to lead? “I said she doesn’t have the stamina. And I don’t believe she does have the stamina. To be president of this country, you need tremendous stamina” – Trump “Well, as soon as he travels to 112 countries and negotiates a peace deal, a ceasefire, a release of dissidents… or even spends 11 hours testifying in front of a congressional committee, he can talk to me about stamina” – Clinton Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton(L) on April 4, 2016 and Republican challenger Donald Trump AFP PHOTO The right experience? “Let me tell you, Hillary has experience. But it’s bad, bad experience” – Trump Too much prep? “I think Donald just criticized me for preparing for this debate. And yes, I did. And you know what else I prepared for? I prepared to be president. And I think that’s a good thing” – Clinton Your own reality “I know you live in your own reality, but those are not the facts,” Clinton said, after Trump took her to task over her support for the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal. A racist lie “He tried to put the whole racist birther lie to bed. But it can’t be dismissed that easily. He has really started his political activity based on this racist lie that our first black president was not an American citizen” – Clinton, referring to Trump’s longtime support of the “birther” movement questioning Barack Obama’s citizenship. Show you mine/Show me yours “I have no reason to believe that he’s ever going to release his tax returns, because there’s something he’s hiding” – Clinton “I will release my tax returns against my lawyer’s wishes when she releases her 33,000 e-mails that have been deleted” – Trump Trumped-up economics “The kind of plan that Donald has put forth would be trickle-down economics all over again. In fact, it would be the most extreme version, the biggest tax cuts for the top percent of the people in this country than we’ve ever had. I call it trumped up trickle-down” – Clinton Talk the talk “Typical politician. All talk, no action. Sounds good, doesn’t work. Never going to happen” – Trump, rubbishing his rival’s economic plans World’s policeman “I want to help all of our allies, but we are losing billions and billions of dollars. We cannot be the policeman of the world, we cannot protect countries all over the world, where they’re not paying us what we need” – Trump, reasserting criticism of long-standing US alliances. Middle Eastern mess “You look at the Middle East, it’s a total mess, under your direction, to a large extent.” “You’re talking about taking out ISIS. But you were there, and you were secretary of state when it was a little infant. Now, it’s in over 30 countries, and you’re going to stop them? I don’t think so” – Trump Shhh… don’t tell the enemy Clinton: “Well at least I have a plan to fight ISIS.” Trump: “No, no, you’re telling the enemy everything you want to do.” Clinton: “No, we’re not.” Trump: “You’re telling the enemy everything you want to do. No wonder you’ve been fighting ISIS your entire adult life.” When it’s all said and done “I want to make America great again. I will be able to do it, I don’t believe Hillary will. The answer is, if she wins, I will absolutely support her” – Trump
