Ras Mubarak: 'Why I am driving 600 hours across Africa' - BBC Africa

Travelling within Africa on an African passport remains a challenge, according to the African Development Bank Group. Their research shows that Africans can travel without a visa for only 28% of intra-African trips, while 51% of Africans need a visa before crossing borders within the continent. In this episode of Focus on Africa: The Conversation, @charliegitonga spoke with Ras Mubarak, a former Ghanaian MP, who is currently on a road trip across Africa to highlight the difficulties of the African visa systems. We also heard from travel content creator, Alma Asinobi, on her challenges travelling across the continent. 🎤 Presenter: Charles Gitonga 🎬 Producers: Carolyne Kiambo and Ly Truong 🎬 Senior Producer: Priya Sippy Editors: Maryam Abdalla and Sam Murunga Subscribe: http://bit.ly/subscribetoafrica Website: https://www.bbc.com/africa Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/bbcnewsafrica/ Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/bbcafrica/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bbcafrica/
