This article proposal is to approach the theme of forced displacements in Africa, from a point of view that, emphasizing on the environmental reasons of these movements, may be able to illustrate the complexity of a problem which is crossed by a multiplicity of factors that includes not only political, economical and social reasons, but also etnical and ecological ones. The objective of this paper is to question the not yet overcome distinction between "migrant" and "refugee" that underlies the Statute of Refugees of the Geneva Convention (1951) and the New York Protocol (1967), starting from the indication of the various levels in which the most advanced countries are responsible for the situation that affects these people.
