While the U.K. was busy separating from the European Union, Africa wants to become more unified with the introduction of an all-Africa passport.

The electronic passport is proposed as an anecdote for dissolving border restrictions, thus building greater opportunities for trade within the continent, in hopes of boosting the overall economy.

Anyone with a A.U. passport would be allowed to travel freely within the union’s 54 countries without a visa.
