 That’s Not Fair - Kim Kardashian Says Prisoners Who Fought L.A. Wildfires Were Paid 'Just a Few Dollars,' and She Wants to Change That A renewed push for prison labor reform is gaining attention, with Kim Kardashian stepping in to support new legislation aimed at changing how incarcerated workers are paid.

 Zambia, Ghana latest African nations to scrap visa for citizens


Ghana and Zambia have agreed to implement visa-free travel for citizens of both countries in a landmark deal as Ghana’s President John Dramani Mahama visits Lusaka, where he was received by President Hakainde Hichilema, TRT Afrika reported.


Mahama’s three-day state visit to Zambia is aimed at deepening diplomatic ties, boosting economic cooperation, and strengthening people-to-people relations.

The other countries where Africans don’t require a visa to enter are Rwanda, Seychelles, The Gambia, and Benin.


This comes as governments move to ease travel and free trade across the continent, aimed at boosting socio-economic integration in recent years, although progress has been slow.
