The president of the African Union Commission announced on 5
April 2016, the arrival of a general African passport dated for July 2016.
This initiative will mark the imminent start of the free
movement of Africans on the continent, followed by the removal of visa. From
July, African passports will be established. The first beneficiaries will be
the Heads of States of the continent.
Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma announced during
the Africa Development Week in Addis Ababa that the introduction of a common
passport will be for the month of July this year.
As for the citizens of African countries, no date has been
set yet. However, all African nationals will soon have the right to enter and
reside in an African country for 30 days without visa. The establishment of an
African passport is one of the projects to be implemented in the first 10 years
of the Agenda 2063 of the AU.
This project, which was agreed last year, aims at improving
intra-African trade and facilitating the movement of goods between Member
States. The first copies of African passport will be released in July at a
summit in Kigali, Rwanda.
