Ethiopia is to issue visa on arrival to all Africans starting Nov. 9, according to Fitsum Arega, chief of staff at the Ethiopian Prime Minister.
In a press statement, Arega said the visa-on-arrival policy for fellow African visitors is in line with Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed’s vision of a closer and full integration in the continent.
“Consistent with Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed’s vision of a closer and full regional integration in Africa, where minds are open to ideas and markets are open to trade, Ethiopia will start on arrival visa to all Africans starting from Nov. 9, 2018,” Arega said.
Ethiopia hopes the visa-on-arrival initiative would facilitate the economic integration of Africa by pushing tourist flow to a higher level and help advance conference tourism.
The east African country, which hosts the headquarters of the continental body, the African Union (AU), also hopes that the move will assist the AU’s initiative on the free movement of people. The AU urged all African countries to issue visa on arrival as of 2023.

At least three members of Shiites died and two soldiers wounded when members of the proscribed Islamic sect clashed with Nigerian Army who were in the escort of ammunition and missiles.
The troops were taking the arms from Abuja to Army Central Ammunition Depot in Kaduna State.
The face-off took place in Zuba in Federal Capital Territory (FCT), the Army confirmed on Sunday that the clash with the sect members on happened on Saturday.
The Commander, Army Headquarters Garrison, Abuja, Maj.-Gen. James Myam said on Sunday that troops of the Garrison were attacked at about 3 p.m. at Zuba bridge by the sect as they escort ammunitions and missiles from Abuja to Army Central Ammunition Depot in Kaduna State.
“The sect members, who were supposedly to be in a procession, established an illegal road block denying motorists free passage.
“When the troops’ convoy attempted to clear the road block, they met stiff opposition from the sect.
“Members of the sect used various objects to barricade the road and also pelted the troops with stones and other dangerous items.
“They smashed both military and civilian vehicles’ windscreens and windows.
“They also attempted to overrun the escorts to cart away the ammunition and missiles the troops were escorting. This led to the troops opening fire to extricate themselves.
“Consequently, troops of 102 Guards Battalion in whose Area of Responsibility the incident occurred rushed to the convoy’s rescue,” Myam said.
He, however, said normalcy had been restored in the area and advised members of the public especially those plying the Abuja-Zuba road, to go about their normal activities.
The commander assured the public that “no individual or persons would be allowed to disturb public peace or provoke attacks against military convoys.” (NAN)

Bishop David Oyedepo of Living Faith Church worldwide has warned Nigerians and politicians over the unending killings in some parts of Nigeria
Oyedepo issued the warning in a satellite telecast of the church’s prayer session for the nation monitored by the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), on Sunday in Abuja.
The Bishop, while urging politicians to repent and have value for the lives of citizens, said if they do not repent after this warning, they would fall down for the sake of the nation.
“Politicians be warned, whether in power or not in power. There is no day Nigeria will become an Islamic nation and this nation will remain one nation.
“Allow the Christians to go to church, allow the Muslims go to their mosque and let the traditional worshippers do their thing.
“God is giving Nigeria peace by all means, the peace of those promoting this wickedness, God is taking away, if they refuse to repent. Their supplies shall dry up because Nigeria shall not see war.
He said that every leader is just a caretaker and God remains the creator and owner of every Nation including Nigeria.
He added that Nigeria would have peace when they understand that God is in control of everything including the land.
“ When a caretaker start behaving like a landlord he will be removed. God is the permanent landlord of the earth.
“The God of heaven has given you authority and power. He has given you might and glory. Pride makes us think that we do not need God. Pride separates us from God. Nebuchadnezzar did not give credit to God, and God had enough.
“God had warned Nebuchadnezzar and had been very patient with him. But finally, the prophecy came true. All of the things that he was so proud of were taken away.
“Nebuchadnezzar had to eat grass just like the goats and cows! He was used to living in a grand palace, but now he had no shelter over his head; For 7 years, the great King Nebuchadnezzar lived out there in the wilderness like an animal.
“He lost his mind; he became crazy without God, he was helpless because he refused to listen to the warning from the Lord,” he said.
According to Bishop, God’s dominion is everlasting to everlasting and His kingdom is from generation to generation.
“ Politicians are not extraordinary people, they only have grace, if they don’t harken to this warning of the Lord they will suffer disgrace.
“Too many arrogant foes, who pose to own this nation, be warned because the day of God’s judgement is here.
“ God enthrones kings and removes kings,” he added.
Oyedepo cursed the killers of the First Class Chief in Kaduna State, the Agom Adara, His Royal Highness Maiwada Galadima, who was kidnapped and later found dead.
He described those behind the cruel act as enemies of humanity and the Almighty God.
“All those involved in the killing of Galadima and his aides! Their generation will be forgotten. Everyone of the perpetrators they will end up in shame.
“Everyone that won’t let the Church rest. Everyone that won’t let the nation rest. Their rest is taken from them. (1 Chronicles 20:12,23-24). In the name of Jesus, this gangup against the nation will fail.
“I have said it before, if you are not angry with the wicked, you are wicked. God is angry with the wicked everyday,” he said.
Oyedepo enjoined Christians be involved in fostering the present revival of the nation by God through their prayers and evangelism, saying that they are entitled to rewards from the Lord.
The Jama’atu Nasril Islam (JNI) had warned politicians to stop arming youths, expressing indications of political interest in recent civil disorders in parts of Nigeria, including Kaduna state.
JNI on Sunday also cautioned politicians against unguarded utterances following crisis in some parts of the country.
The Secretary General of JNI, Dr Khalid Aliyu, condemned recent crisis in parts of Adamawa and Kaduna states and noted that the problems were allowed to fester by the failure of government to properly punish the perpetrators.
“Government on the other hand, particularly the judiciary should dispense justice promptly and appropriately, as there are cries over the delay tactics within the system, which has given impetus to the recurring communal crisis in Nigeria,” he said.

The Jama’atu Nasril Islam (JNI) has warned politicians to stop arming youths, expressing indications of political interest in recent civil disorders in parts of Nigeria, including Kaduna state.
JNI on Sunday also cautioned politicians against unguarded utterances following crisis in some parts of the country.
The Secretary General of JNI, Dr Khalid Aliyu, condemned recent crisis in parts of Adamawa and Kaduna states and noted that the problems were allowed to fester by the failure of government to properly punish the perpetrators.
“Government on the other hand, particularly the judiciary should dispense justice promptly and appropriately, as there are cries over the delay tactics within the system, which has given impetus to the recurring communal crisis in Nigeria,” he said.
Aliyu noted that the recurring crisis in Kasuwan Magani, Kaduna state, has claimed many lives with very little done by government to bring those responsible to book.
The JNI scribe expressed regrets that “human lives do not matter to many of us in Nigeria’’.
“At will people just take up arms to maim, kill and sometimes slaughter fellow human beings without any sober reflection, yet government often looks the other way on the alleged culprits.
“Something must be wrong with our psyche.”
Aliyu urged government to provide permanent security to protect motorists on major interstate highways who are being waylaid and killed in some identified communities whenever a crisis erupts.
“However, we are exasperated that oftentimes passers-by are always soft targets in Nigeria and this allow for backlash.
“The Yola-Numan-Gombe road and the Gonin Gora road in Kaduna state (for the Abuja-Kaduna-Kano commuters), would have been blood laden if not for the timely intervention of the respective state governments of Adamawa and Kaduna.
“The Federal Government as well as the affected state governments must therefore provide alternative routes or security strike force to be mounted at such places or relocate the troubled communities near the highways.
“The JNI calls for calm and restraint, and implores religious and/or clerics as well as traditional rulers to always take control of their constituencies and nip in the bud these recurring unfortunate incidences at their respective localities.
“Although, going by the tapes available on air, political gladiators can hardly play the game of politics decorously.
“As we have often heard them say there is no morality in politics, of which from the religious context, we would not expect much good from politicians.
“And of course, free, fair and credible election will continue to be a mirage to us, so long as there would not be morality in politics.”
He called on Nigerians to be very security conscious and report suspicious movements in and around their respective communities to relevant security agencies.
The JNI commiserated with those that lost their loved ones, particularly the Agwam Adara, Dr Maiwada Galadima, killed on Friday by kidnappers.
” We also wish speedy recovery to all victims of the dastardly violent acts in Nigeria and may Allah continue to secure our lives, environments and properties. “the secretary general said.
Aliyu added that “the JNI is perturbed over the discovery of a shallow grave where it was reportedly said late Major General I. M. Alkali’s body was exhumed.
“Therefore, in line with the information given by the Nigerian Army, we call on the government not to be deterred for the search of the dead body.
“We call on the Nigerian Army to recover the General’s dead body wherever it is, in order for the family to give him a befitting funeral.
“However, if it becomes a herculean task for the Nigerian Army, then in line with the Islamic rites, the Muslim Ummah along with family members could conduct Salatul Ghaa-ib, Muslim funerals in absentia, for the deceased General.
“Indeed we are from Allah, the Most High and unto Him alone is our return. May Allah, the Most High take us out of the present plight and bring to us after the unfortunate massacre, something better,” Aliyu added. (NAN)
