As an avid traveler, I love it when countries/continents try to make travelling easier for tourists and citizens. The countries of central Africa/ CEEAC / Communauté des États de l’Afrique Centrale
1. Angola
2.Burundi
3.Cameroon
4.Congo
5. Congo - DRC
6. Central Africa Republic
7.Gabon
8. Equatorial Guinea
9.Rwanda
10. Sao Tome and Principe
11. Tchad
have decide to come up with a solution to ease travel through middle Africa especially by members of that zone.
6 of them (highlighted in Red on the list) already share a currency
called the CFA so this comes as no surprise to me.
Actually its overdue in my opinion.
From my understanding, as of January 1st 2014, you can travel within central Africa without a VISA/Passport IF
You have a national I.D stating proof of citizenship within the countries of CEEAC
Again, am not clear on what kind of standard identification travelers will require because there are various options offered by the different countries involved
In the future, they plan on having a unilateral Central Africa Passport for CEEAC citezens

This is also a good strategic business move. Hopefully in the future we will experience growth in the economies of these countries due to this new ease of travel and accessibility.
Also, there have been talks, since 2012? and perhaps earlier about a CEEAC airline. Since most of the countries seem to be having a hard time running an airline program, I guess it will be better if its a collective effort?
