‘These Are Africa’s Most Respected Passports in 2016‘
In October, the African Union (AU) launched an electronic common passport to grant African citizens visa-free travel access to all 54 member countries of the umbrella Pan-African organisation. The AU says it plans to get the new passports across to every African citizen by the end of 2018.
