| | A. | Borders are controlled, although it is relatively easy for citizens of some (though not all) African nations to travel to neighboring countries, often without passports or national identity cards.
Africa has 14 regional organisations, including the African Union (AU). Citizens of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) can obtain an ECOWAS passport that allows them to travel between 15 ECOWAS member nations. If they are travelling by land, they often do not even need an ECOWAS passport, although border guards and immigration officials are often corrupt, and demand bribes.
Other major organisations include the Southern African Development Community (SADC) and the East Africa Community (Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda). Member nations of each of these organisations has made it somewhat easier (although not yet completely open) for citizens of fellow nations to visit their countries.
The aim of the African Union is ostensibly to eventually dissolve borders and create a unified Africa with a single currency and no border restrictions. However, Africa is a long way away from seeing this become a reality. Current or recent civil wars and lower-level rebellions in Ivory Coast, Chad, Ethiopia, Liberia, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Sierra Leone, Somalia, Sudan, Angola (Cabinda enclave), Morocco (Western Sahara), Nigeria (the Niger Delta), Mali, Congo and Uganda have created tensions between neighboring nations and some have exchanged accusations with neighboring nations of supporting each others' insurgents.
In addition, there is little agreement as to who should lead the African Union (Nigeria, South Africa, Libya, Algeria, and Egypt are all believed to have leadership aspirations) or even on how it would be governed. African leaders also have entrenched interests in exerting and maintaining control and power in their own nations.
Dissolving colonial borders that often had limited relevance to African ethnic affiliations is a goal that is obviously something that most African governments support in principle. Putting it into practice, however, will be a challenge. | | | |
