For the record, it’s a pan-African passport which was launched on July 17 during the 27th African Union Summit in Kigali, Rwanda.
However, the first recipients of this passport were Idriss Deby, who is the Chairperson of the African Union and President of Chad, and Rwandan President, Paul Kagame.
The passport was launched in an effort to promote opening of borders and more efficient trans-African relations.
According to officials of the AU, the passport will be available in 5 languages including French, English and Swahili and will also have high security features.
By 2018, the passport will be available to citizens of the 54 member-countries of the African Union except Morocco, which left the Union in 1984.
Some Africans couldn’t be more thrilled at this development.
