According to the AU 2063 agenda, there will be a single African Union passport that permits freedom and shared development among African nations. Africa anxiously anticipates a lot of positive and developmental changes, but most striking is the vision of a boarder-less Africa with a prospect that by 2018, visa requirements for all African citizens in African countries should have been abolished; thereby promoting more regional interaction and integration. Rwanda and Mauritius are already complying with the idea.
A border-less yet restrictive Africa will be of a lot of benefit for the African populace. In alliance with the Pan-African ideals, this step will be a starting point in unifying African nations for the better. The commissioner for political affairs, Dr Aisha abdullahi made this public during the recently held Africities submit in Johannesburg on Sunday, November 29, 2015. By direct implication, there is bound to be a sort of amendment to the existing visa policies, making it a lot more liberal to sustain intra-national relations and mutual interests. On this note, such organizations as Schengen and ECOWAS come to mind. These organizations are prototype of the single African Union Passport Concept.
