@gm.report1: Ethiopia has maintained one of Africa's most restrictive entry policies, allowing only citizens of Kenya and Djibouti to enter the country without a visa. Travellers from the rest of the continent... including South Africa, Nigeria, Ghana, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Namibia, Uganda, Tanzania, Morocco and Egypt... must still obtain a visa before travelling or use Ethiopia's approved e-Visa or visa-on-arrival system where eligible. The policy stands in contrast to a growing number of African countries that have embraced wider visa-free travel to promote tourism, trade and regional integration under the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA). Ethiopia, however, says its immigration rules are intended to balance easier travel with national security and border management. While only Kenya and Djibouti enjoy visa-free access, many African travellers are still eligible to apply through the country's electronic visa platform or obtain visas on arrival, depending on their nationality. Africa's second-most populous country, with an estimated population of well over 130 million people, Ethiopia remains one of the continent's fastest-growing economies despite facing significant economic challenges. Agriculture continues to employ the majority of its workforce, while poverty and unemployment remain major concerns outside the rapidly developing capital, Addis Ababa. Analysts say the country's cautious visa policy reflects its effort to manage migration while continuing to position itself as a diplomatic and aviation hub in Africa. #ethiopian_tik_tok🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹 🇪🇹 #kenyantiktok🇰🇪 🇰🇪 #djibouti🇩🇯 🇩🇯 #eastafricatiktokers🇹🇿🇺🇬🇰🇪
