The President of Rwanda, Paul Kagame, has declared that the country will grant visa-free travel to Africans to boost free movement of people and trade.
This decision positions Rwanda as the latest African nation to adopt such a measure, joining others in the pursuit of a more integrated continent to rival Europe’s Schengen zone.
The Schengen zone, consisting of 27 European countries, has successfully eliminated the need for passports and various border control measures at their shared borders.
Local media reports that Kagame revealed his plans on Thursday during a speech in Kigali, the capital of Rwanda.
Kagame emphasised the immense potential of Africa as a unified tourism destination.
