Download What would a borderless Africa look like?
“When you look at the entire integration in the region, be it economic, be it social, all of it sounds like a pipe dream. But it’s a dream that is quite possible”
In the 1800s, a conference attended by Europe’s prominent states in Berlin, took a decision to partition Africa.
It resulted in social, political and economic marginalisation of Africa’s 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 “borderless Africa” campaign.
They want Africans to travel within their continent without border restrictions.
