@YaviMadurai ends her statement by asking if AU member state citizens can arrive in the Gambia, Benin & Seychelles with full access, no visa - is it FMP anyway, that has not been technically ratified?
It begs the question, 'should we focus on ratification or operationalisation?'
#Throwback to the first episode of the AU Free Movement Protocol Webinar Series. A few excerpts from @YaviMadurai 's presentation. Posed a few questions and suggested that a comparison of the ratification of the FMP & the @AfCFTA might not be "fair". #FMP#migration

Happy Kwanzaa 🇺🇸🌍
As the Americans of African heritage celebrate day 1 of Kwanzaa, specifically honoring Umoja (unity), let us remind ourselves that we are far from a united African continent!
Unity CAN be achieved through @AfCFTA, FMP, etc - towards a prosperous Africa 🌍

Is Africa a priority for the US🌍?
What is the impact of the U.S elections, on Africa?

This SA Women's Day, we're offering the first few who comment with "🇿🇦♀️" for VIP tickets to the "Trailblazers & Inspirational Women" by-invitation-only event.
Our Founder @YaviMadurai
is the keynote speaker.
She's been allocated a few tickets to give away, to attend in-person!
Atm, she is flying over Africa on one of her missions to "change Africa's future story", but "especially so for women & youth" (a line she adds to all goals & projects, because it's her 1st question when looking at funding projects, "how will it impact Africa's women and youth?")
On this @IntWomensDay we pay tribute to OUR fearless leader, because nobody's more vocal abt #IWD2024 theme of "INVEST IN WOMEN. ACCELERATE PROGRESS." than @YaviMadurai
Yavi=Economic Inclusion & Financial Participation of women in the Economic Agenda of Africa
#InspireInclusion
These are just 2 of the projects she's focussing on currently.
Through the APF there are projects on Access to Healthcare; Access to Finance; Manufacturing Optimisation; & most critically, Infrastructure Dev projects that will change the future of Africa's women and youth.
