This study assesses the strategic value that remittances have in African countries situated south of the Sahara. In the first part, the focus is on political interaction between migrant communities and their homelands. Some states still see their nationals abroad as a nuisance, because migrant communities often represent a political threat to authoritarian regimes at home. The second part contains case studies on Cape Verde, Lesotho and the Comoros.
