A piece I first began drafting when I served as an Ibrahim Leadership Fellow is appearing in the print edition of Africa Policy Journal on pan-African migration.  Titled How Africa Can Adopt a Pan-African Migration and Development Agenda, AFLI has permission to share ahead of the journal's appearance, the abstract of the piece. 

It looks at the potential upsides to allowing intra-African migration, which is largely seen in a negative light, if the continent adopted constructive policies around migration for development.  Currently Africa has restrictive policies on migration.

As the two most unlikeable presidential candidates in U.S. history go head-to-head in this week's elections, it is clear that a Clinton or Trump presidency will result in few changes, if any, for the continent of Africa.

Although there is mounting uncertainty about the result of November 8, one thing remains clear to me. Trump's tax evasion tendencies and Clinton's philanthro-capitalist shadiness prove that the U.S. lacks the moral authority more than it ever has to lecture Africa on the tenets of "good" governance, transparency, and accountability.

Tutu Fellow Robtel Neajai Pailey wrote this op-ed on the unfair and persistent visa restrictions on nationals of Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone based on an experience she had with the United Arab Emirates.  It's since been published in several outlets including Thought Leader, Conversations on Liberia, and African Arguments.  The piece is titled: "In a World Obsessed with Passport Tiers, Citizenship Is Personal and Political".
