News Report 1
新闻报道1

African leaders plan to turn the continent into a continent without borders. They will introduce a single passport policy, allowing free movement between countries. The idea from the African Union has been modeled on the EU Shengen free movement deal. Europe has abolished many internal borders, which enables visa-free movement across the continent. Currently, 13 African countries have visa-free deals in place with each other. These allow citizens to visit another country without a visa. Some countries offer visas on arrival. In contrast, Americans are able to travel to twenty of the continent's countries without a visa or secure a visa on arrival.
非洲领导人计划将该大陆转变为无国界的大陆。他们将引入单一护照政策，允许国家间自由流动。非洲联盟的这一想法借鉴了欧盟申根自由流动协议。欧洲已经废除了许多内部边界，这使得整个欧洲大陆实现了免签证流动。目前，13个非洲国家已经相互建立了免签证协议。这些协议允许公民无需签证即可访问另一个国家。一些国家提供落地签证。相比之下，美国人能够无需签证前往该大陆的20个国家，或者在抵达时获得签证。

The African Union, which represents 54 states, wants to abolish the requirement of a visa for Africans visiting other African countries. It also wants to establish a free trade deal across the continent in the near future, as trade within the African continent costs more than any other region.
代表54个国家的非洲联盟希望废除非洲国家间互访的签证要求。它还希望在未来不久在整个非洲大陆建立自由贸易协议，因为非洲大陆内的贸易成本比其他任何地区都高。
