There is a need to enhance legal & organised migration in order to stem the vulnerabilities faced, particularly by women & youth. Visa requirements for most Africans traveling within the African continent is, perhaps, the single most restrictive barrier to travel. It is not uncommon for people with European, American or Asian passports to be granted visas upon entry & Africans traveling with them to be denied entry.

Meanwhile, free movement is recognised as one of the biggest catalysts for Africa’s economic development as it would accelerate trade, job creation, cross-border infrastructure & cultural cohesion. Realising this, the African Union adopted at its 30th Ordinary Session in January 2018 the Protocol to the Treaty Establishing the African Economic Community Relating to Free Movement of Persons, Right of Residence and Right of Establishment, which if enforced will abolish visas & other restrictions on intra-African travel. However, only four (4) countries have yet ratified it while it requires fifteen (15) ratifications to come into force.

Salute the four African states that have signed, ratified and deposited the AU protocol on free movement. These are Mali, Niger, Rwanda and Sao Tome and Principe.

Call on the African States that have signed the protocol but are yet to ratify to do so with urgency. These are Angola, Burkina Faso, Central African Republic, Chad, Côte d'ivoire, Comoros, Congo, Djibouti, Democratic Republic of Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, The Gambia, Ghana, Guinea, Kenya, Lesotho, Liberia, Malawi, Mozambique, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Somalia, South Sudan, Sudan, Tanzania, Togo, Uganda and Zimbabwe.

Urge the leadership of the African States that haven't signed the AU protocol to fast track the process and take the necessary steps to actualise the free movement of our people. They are Algeria, Benin, Botswana, Burundi, Cameroon, Cape Verde, Egypt, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Guinea Bissau, Libya, Morocco, Mauritania, Mauritius, Namibia, Nigeria, South Africa, Eswatini, Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic, Seychelles, Tunisia and Zambia.
