Meet Lara Reffat (@larareffat), an Egyptian journalist and a Borderless Africa Feminist Writing Fellow. Lara works across civil society organizations, Pan-African movements, and feminist NGOs, where she helps shape narratives that reflect people's lives with meaning, dignity, and purpose. As an Egyptian, Lara speaks about the complex relationship many Egyptians have with the rest of Africa. She reflects on how some distance themselves from the shared Pan-African struggles and histories that connect the continent. She also highlights an often-overlooked reality: while movement across Africa can be challenging for everyone, women face additional barriers. Unsafe travel conditions, the risk of gender-based violence, and the silence surrounding these experiences make mobility even more difficult. Yet these challenges are rarely centered in conversations about a borderless Africa. For Lara, a truly borderless Africa must include safe and accessible movement for women, with their experiences and concerns fully recognized and addressed. Her dream is an Africa where no one has to worry about crossing borders to visit, learn from, and connect with fellow Africans; an Africa where we see ourselves as one community, able to move, communicate, and thrive together. 🎥 Watch Lara's story and share your vision of a borderless Africa. @afro_borderless #BorderlessAfrica #WeAreBorderlessAfricans #Feminist4BorderlessAfrica #AfricansRising by @africans_rising

Reparations Friday | Colonization took away so much more than land and resources. It took away identity, tradition, rituals, language, names, and history. Reparations means confronting that full legacy, restoring what was taken, and supporting the right of affected communities to reclaim, rebuild, and determine their own futures. #ReparationsFriday #ReparationsNOW by @africans_rising
Free Movement Must Work For People #BorderlessAfrica Did you know the African Union adopted the Protocol on Free Movement of Persons back on 29 January 2018? While the protocol sets out a vision for the Right of Entry, Right of Residence, and Right of Establishment, a policy document alone does not automatically erase every border barrier. For students, traders, workers, families, and border communities, free movement is about real life; shaping access to education, business, and livelihoods across Africa. Africans Rising is pushing from commitment to action through the Borderless Africa campaign. We are calling on African governments for: Ratification & implementation of AU frameworks. Stronger political commitment and inter-state cooperation. Border policies that honor human dignity and lived realities. 📢 Stand with us for a truly connected continent! Visit [www.africansrising.org] to get involved. #AfricansRising #AUFMP #AfricanIntegration #LetOurPeopleMove by @africans_rising
