Burkina Faso is now free to visit for all African nationals. Ouagadougou says its waiving fees on entry visas for citizens across the continent.
The only requirement for Africans wanting to visit Burkina Faso is to fill out an online form and have their application approved.
The country’s Minister of Security, Mahamadou Sana, said the measure was aimed at strengthening the historic bonds of brotherhood between African people, as part of a pan-Africanist agenda of interim president, Ibrahim Traoré. Sana said the move would also help to boost tourism to the West African nation, promote Burkinabe culture, and improve Burkina Faso’s visibility abroad
