As much as this comes amid a flurry of “screw the US” sentiment (and fair play for that), this move also included thirty other countries and has been a long-standing political issue in Namibia. It also was announced months ago and went into effect two weeks ago, and we’re only hearing about it now for some reason.
This bold decision, spearheaded by President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah is framed as a move towards establishing reciprocity in international relations, asserting that if African citizens require visas to enter the United States, then American citizens should also be subject to the same requirements when entering Namibia. The President emphasized that this policy change is not an act of aggression but a matter of fairness and national dignity.
Smart move, especially with the recent mineral finds in the country. Hope they don’t get obliterated for having the sheer audacity to not bow to imperialism.
The best way to fight America is to welcome its refugees. Let the brain drain commence. Move remote workers to other countries where they’ll buy local goods and services, taking money out of the US economy. Stand up for trans people and welcome them.
Trapping Trump’s victims in there with him is what he wants!
They are not banning Americans from coming, only requiring them to get visas. This will make it so you have to apply ahead of time and the government will decide if you can enter, just like when people want to travel from Africa to US.
It’s not only what Trump wants, it’s what the capitalist really want. Because recently, we’ve been getting mouthy and asking for more. So, stopping all of our freedom of a movement and scaring us with prison colonies is exactly what they want seen done. And I’m talking about the one percent.
I did a quick lookup of the quote you posted. Except for facebook and insta reposts, I found nothing. otoh, from yesterday’s news:
President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah has slammed circulating claims that Namibia is planning to deport 500 American citizens, calling the allegations false and urging the public to be vigilant of fake social media posts.
A press release issued by the Presidency on Wednesday said it has noted with concern the circulation of social media posts and online articles alleging that Nandi-Ndaitwah ordered the deportation of the American nationals on the grounds of visa reciprocity.
The statement pointed out that various social media accounts circulated this fabrication attributed to the president.
“These posts feature fabricated quotes and images containing misinformation and disinformation intended to tarnish the image of the president, the Namibian government and to create potential diplomatic embarrassment,” it read.
I didn’t say anything about the deportation of american citizens though, since I couldn’t find a legit source. I think I snagged the quote from OKAY (for some reason, maybe I was high?). The quote is at least accurate in its contents.
But seriously, thank you for the follow up about the deportation being BS.
btw, didn’t mean to imply you were a bad actor (apologies if it came across that way). I replied because you were the only person here to post anything that looked like a source. No harm to you intended.
Oh you’re fine, given the severity of the disinfo around this one (people here in the US are already calling for retaliation over the supposed deportations, rather predictably) I just wanted to clarify which part was true, and then I did that with the most pre-coffee phrasing possible.
Us evangelicals have been try to f’ed with african politics for a while, basically to get things like anti-abortion, anti-lgbtq+,etc into thier legislation, and has written some of thier laws too.
Yeah, sorry about that. If it helps, they’re kinda in charge of the US government right now so most of those groups have lost their funding through their own spectacular incompetence! So at least there’s hope! But not very much!

Open doors for refugees, closed doors for tourists, wealthy elites, and business.

Are visas free?
