“Africans Rising,” a Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) recognized by AU, has called on the various governments in Africa to consider abolishing borders in Africa to enhance the free movement of people on the continent.
The group believes making Africa Borderless is the surest way of uniting the continent and bringing everyone together to boost trade and investment and unity as well.
This came up when the “Africans Rising” Group launched the “Africa Liberation Week” to commemorate the celebration of the AU Day on Thursday 25th of May.
Speaking during the press conference, the Movement Coordinator for Africans Rising, Hardi Yakubu stressed that, Borderless Africa will unite the entire continent and make us a formidable force that can fight for one right.
“As Africans, we call for the abolishing of Visa travels for African countries, any citizen of an African country must not have a visa before entering into another which has been a major cause of underdevelopment among countries,” he pointed out.
Mr Yakubu had this to say on the issue of rising terrorist attacks in the region.
“The Borderless African will even make it easy for the continent to fight all forms of security challenges since they will be handling issues as a united front.”
