Addis Ababa – The African Union Commissioner for Social Affairs Dr. Mustapha Sidiki Kaloko has urged African countries to ease their visa polices to stem migration from Africa to places like Europe by stimulating national and regional economic prospects in Africa.
The commissioner specifically praised Rwanda as well as the island nations of Mauritius and Seychelles for allowing visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to their countries for anyone carrying the passport of an African country.
“Easier movement of people across borders like what we see generally in West Africa won’t stop migration to richer nations, but the economic benefits will lessen the impact,” said Kaloko at a media briefing on the margins of the AU summit in Addis Ababa.
