St Vincent Prime Minister Ralph Gonsalves has urged the removal of visa requirements between African and Caribbean nations, calling it a vital step in deepening historical and cultural ties.

Speaking at a landmark gathering in Shashemene, Ethiopia, Gonsalves said visa-free travel should move beyond bilateral deals to a wider regional framework.

Reflecting on his 2005 visit to Ethiopia, he described the initiative as transformative and linked it to ongoing calls for reparatory justice.

The meeting marked the first time a large Caribbean delegation gathered in Shashemene, a site central to the Rastafari movement. Ethiopia’s longstanding offer of 500 acres for Rastafari repatriation was cited as a symbol of the enduring connection between the two regions.

“We will succeed, as sure as the sun rises,” Gonsalves declared.

  1. 100% agree we are one people all from the motherland, Africa has a lot of great minds resources, and technology where commute easily between the islands to finally break away from being depended on USA.

    Outta he and Limpy Joe IMF Pimp wonder who lub mo ooman

  4. @ Young Antiguan Communist Do you really want Visa free from all Africa to Caribbean without restrictions? Are you sure? DO you know how many Online scammers come from Africa nations and you wanna open the gates to allow any kind of people come abroad? Hm. Dangerous move.. Look how they behave in European nations. Do you think they are going to do different over here? Chupz..
    If you fell that you are dependent from USA is your problem. I just see free market of choices. No one is telling Antigua who to trade with. Antigua business choose USA sources due convenience, nothing wrong with that. China is far far away and we bring thousand of containers from there also, same we can do from any Africa nation…What they are offering that we may feel happy to trade?

  5. What I feel they can offer, Agriculture products, building materials, clothing basically everything we buy from other nation can be gotten in Africa only difference with Africa and China is china has the finished product but most of the world’s good are sourced from Africa, like Trumps tariff exposed the clothing industry to a lot of people who weren’t aware.
    Lesotho a name I never heard of at least make a lot of worlds jeans why go through the middle man when you can get good from the source, same can be said for building material like steel and etc so we could even build up industries of our own.
    I don’t know what racist and anti-immigration stuff you watch about Africa but most immigrants especially poorer ones works the jobs no one want’s that’s how immigration works and making immigration harder actually promotes more immigration because you to stay in the country to get citizenship so you can travel freely between countries so look at England after brexit.
    I don’t know what scammers has to do with anything like pointing out a crime doesn’t do anything every country has crime and pointing out a country as big as Africa with 30 mil people 1% of that is obviously a big number compared to most countries so we just throw out a random number like 1% is 300,000 not really saying anything.
    visa free travel will only allows people to take opportunity it just provides freedom, like American and EU has so tell me what Africans do in EU you talking about the ones that becomes footballers, or the Entrepreneurs or the people that leaves on scholarships into STEM? or the average person that families save up to send to a country with better opportunity to send home and provide for their love ones?
