What would a borderless Africa look like?
One passport, one citizenship, one currency. This is what a Pan-African movement known as Africans Rising, is envisioning. But is it realistic?
βWhen you look at the entire integration in the region, be it economic, be it social, all of it sounds like a pipe dream. But itβs a dream that is quite possibleβ
In the 1800s, a conference attended by Europeβs prominent states in Berlin, took a decision to partition Africa.
It resulted in social, political and economic marginalisation of Africaβs citizens.
With colonialism, came the borders that exist to this day.
Now, a movement of Pan-African activists have launched what they describe as a βborderless Africaβ campaign.
They want Africans to travel within their continent without border restrictions.
