The administration of president Donald Trump prepares a travel ban to the United States, which can cover 43 countries, of which 22 lie in Africa.
According to the "New York Times", who got acquainted with the prepared list countries are divided into 3 categories marked with red, worst, yellow, mildest colours. Officials of American diplomacy and safety services were active in this project.
Red marked Afghanistan, Bhutan, Cuba, Iran, Libya, North Korea, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Venezuela and Yemen. This means that citizens of these countries have a full ban on entry into the United States.
Belarus, Burma, Eritrea, Haiti, Laos, Pakistan, Russia, Sierra Leone, South Sudan and Turkmenistan were assigned to the "orange" group, which means that the average citizens of these countries must receive a affirmative rating from US officials who hold an interview with them in order to get a US entry visa.
The most many is the group marked yellow And there are more countries in Africa. This list includes Angola, Antigua and Barbuda, Benin, Burkina Faso, Cambodia, Cameroon, Cape Verde, Chad, Republic of Congo, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Dominique, Equatorial Guinea, Gambia, Liberia, Malawi, Mali, Mauritania, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, São Tomé and Príncipe, Vanuatu and Zimbabwe. Governments of these countries are accused of failing to safe or verify the identities of citizens applying for visas and insufficient cooperation with US immigration services. The failure to correct these shortcomings within 60 days would consequence in the transfer of these countries to a more restrictive group.
Prohibition of entry into the USA
Some of the countries on this list were already subject to a travel ban introduced in 2017, erstwhile during his first word of office Trump signed a regulation prohibiting entry into the United States to Syrian refugees and temporarily suspended specified a right for Iraqi, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen nationals. The decision then sparked many protests and president Joe Biden, after taking office in 2021, abolished it. The fresh list has been greatly expanded, and the fresh York paper has calculated the features of linking countries drawn into it: Islam, a large population of people who are not white-skinned, poorness and governments considered corrupt.
On the weekend in all the countries of Africa that were included in the list, there were voices of outrage. The most prominent in Liberia, which is considered to be a "little America" with an illusionally akin flag, a constitution, with an mimicry of the American strategy of government, akin salaries of senators and congressmen and being in the authoritative circulation of an American dollar.
