The Spin
Narrative A
The decision to remove visa requirements for fellow Africans willing to visit Kenya demonstrates that Ruto is committed to reinvigorating the Pan-African movement after decades. A visa-free Africa, in which borders are turned into bridges, will help promote trade and investment in the continent.
Narrative B
One can't be deceived by the seams when it comes to William Ruto and his alleged pan-African agenda. After all, this move is just the latest in a political career that has been built on appealing to that sentiment to defraud the nation and meddle across the continent to advance Western interests in Africa.
Metaculus Prediction
There's a 5% chance that at least three countries will ratify an agreement to form the East African Federation before 2030, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
