Despite being one continent, the countries within Africa are far from unified. Since apartheid, South Africa has been isolated from its neighbors and other countries across the continent, who made sacrifices to support the liberation movement.
Recently, this separation from the continent and its people has escalated to violence against foreign nationals from elsewhere in Africa.
In contrast to the United Kingdom’s decision to exit the European Union this summer, The African Union (AU) has moved further toward the free cross-border movement of goods and people with the launch of the new pan-African passport.
