Same passport for visiting all of Africa?

score:12

An acquaintance of mine has traveled extensively throughout Africa -- every country bar Rwanda and Somalia, to be precise -- and he did it using six different passports, with no problems. (And before you ask, he's a diplomat, and you need a lot of passports when traveling to tinpot dictatorships that take weeks to process visa applications...)

In case that's not enough, I'll also note that:

There no supranational authority in Africa that could impose that kind of requirement. The African Union is a paper tiger, and not all African countries belong to it anyway.
Even if such a requirement were to be imposed, there's no way it could possibly be enforced, given that immigration checkpoints at quite a few African borders consist of a bored guy sitting in a hut with a pen and a notebook.
