Outgoing President Nana Akufo-Addo says All African passport holders are now able to visit Ghana without needing a visa. He announced the plan last month but in his final state-of-the-nation address he said that the policy had come into effect at the beginning of the year.

Ghana is now the fifth African country to offer this to travellers from the rest of the continent after Rwanda, Seychelles, The Gambia and Benin.

South Korea's constitutional court has begun trial proceedings for the impeachment of President Yoon Suk Yeol, who was suspended for declaring martial law and plunging his country into political turmoil. The court now has six months to decide whether to remove Yoon or reinstate him. Yoon's ruling People Power Party (PPP) has been grappling with the fallout ever since, with its leader announcing his resignation. While public hearings for Yoon's impeachment trial could take months, the court is under pressure to decide quickly and bring an end to political uncertainty. Protesters have vowed to keep up their calls for Yoon's removal during court proceedings. The court says it could run Yoon's trial with just six judges, and set a preliminary hearing date for 27 December. If the court upholds impeachment in Yoon's case, the country must hold fresh presidential elections within 60 days. In the meantime, Prime Minister Han Duck-soo is serving as acting president.

Three West African states ruled by military leaders have announced visa-free travel and residency rights for citizens in the 15-member regional bloc Ecowas, ahead of the trio leaving the group. The leaders of the states - Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger - said the visa and residency decision had been taken in the spirit of friendship, and to strengthen centuries-old ties among African people. The trio plan to withdraw from Ecowas in January after refusing the bloc's demand to restore democratic rule. Ecowas leaders are meeting in Nigeria to discuss the decision, with fears their withdrawal would be a major blow to regional unity and efforts to boost economic and security cooperation.
