African Leaders Seek Visa-Free Travel for AfCFTA

African leaders push visa-free travel across the continent to unleash the African Continental Free Trade Area's potential. The AfCFTA aims to boost intra-African trade by slashing barriers, but mobility restrictions hinder business and tourism flows. Proponents argue open borders foster investment, job creation, and cultural exchange, drawing models from successful blocs like the EU. Momentum builds at summits for phased implementation targeting key corridors first.
