The Trump administration’s controversial visa and travel bans has now been extended to include four more African countries.

The new restrictions will see the United States no longer issue immigrant visas that offer a path to permanent residency, and possibly citizenship, to nationals of Nigeria and Eritrea, US officials have confirmed. Between them, Nigeria and Eritrea account for 14% of all green cards issued annually to African nationals, according to the Migration Policy Institute. Nationals of Kyrgyzstan and Myanmar will also face similar restrictions.

For their part, citizens of Tanzania and Sudan will now be omitted from the United States’ popular visa lottery scheme which is typically available for nationals in countries that have low levels of immigrant populations in the US. Despite initially reported to be affected by the expanded travel ban, Belarus has been excluded altogether.


The US has defended its decision with claims that the affected countries fell short of its security standards, including passport technology, and failed to share information on criminals and terrorist suspects. However, the restrictions will likely face intense criticism of suspected discriminatory undertones with two of the four affected African countries being Muslim-majority nations.

“The administration’s expanded travel ban now affects close to a quarter of the population of the African continent,” said Gyude Moore, a former Liberian government minister and current fellow at the Center for Global Development in Washington DC. “Less than a year after the US government unveiled its new US-Africa trade policy Prosper Africa, nationals of Nigeria, the continent’s largest country and economy, are being banned from visas that may lead to permanent residency in the US.”


Some analysts have described the expanding travel restrictions as an “African ban” and an attempt by Trump to shore up his electoral base in the run-up to November’s presidential election where immmigration will likely again be a hot button topic.

“The rationale for limiting visas to the nationals of these four African countries can only be seen as a demand for a reduction in immigration from African countries collectively especially due to the White House’s previous assessment regarding ‘shithole countries’,” said Michael Clemens, a migration economist with CGD.

While the restrictions on Nigeria and Eritrea will not affect visitor visa applications, it will likely result in increased scrutiny on applicants from affected countries. There is already increasing anecdotal evidence that the scrutiny of visa applications from Nigerians has heightened.

Nigeria’s inclusion in the travel ban comes after other visa clampdown measures, including the suspension of a visa interview waiver program and a hike in visa application fees. The measures have had a clear impact as Nigeria recorded the largest global drop-off in visitors to the US. It also comes despite years of an ostensibly amicable relationship between both countries and 20 months after Trump hosted Nigeria’s president Buhari at the White House.

Joe Neguse, a Colorado Democrat in the US Congress criticized the ban on Twitter. “As a son of Eritrean refugees, let me be clear: The President’s travel ban on African countries contradicts our American values and the promise and refuge our country has offered to immigrants and refugees for centuries. It is unconscionable. It is wrong. And we must oppose it.”

Hawa wote hakuna cha maana walifanyia nchi zao. Wengi walikuwa ama kwa kuuwawa au kwa kupinduliwa. Ndiyo njia unayotaka Magufuli apitie? Wote wameacha nchi zao kwenye mateso makubwa kwa sababu ya kuitunishia msuli USA.

Pamoja na viongozi wa Africa kuwa na ugonjwa wa kutaka kufia madarakani ila kutunishia msuli mabeberu kwa nchi za ulimwengu wa tatu sioni kitu.

Beberu hapendi kuona nchi ikiwa na mafanikio kupitia rasilimali zake.

Mimi mwenyewe sitamani Makonda awe Raisi, ukuu wa mkoa wenyewe naona ni viatu vikubwa sana kwake.
Makonda nafaa kuwa nafisi za kufanya kazi chaini ya mtu, asipate nafasi ya kuiwakilisha serikali kwa umma au duniani.
Akikaa ktk majukwaa na vipaza sauti mlazima ataharibu tu, hajui kuchunga kauli zake.
 
Bora watusaidie......watz hatumtaki Ila tunashindwa kumuondia kwa ujinga wetu wkt anaharibu nchi

Hapana, tena hafai hata kidogo kuwa raisi au mkuu wa mkoa.
Mada yangu sijakusudia kumsifia au kumpigia debe Makonda.

Nadhani watanzania wengi tuna shida ya kusoma na kuelewa. Nimesema huenda mabeberu wanahisi mtu kama Makonda au wa ubabe ubae kama wa boss kuu au wale wanao onekana kupendwa na boss kuu wanaweza kuandaliwa kurithi kiti kikuu.

Sasa wanachukua tahadhari mapema kabisa asiingie tena mtu wasie mtaka wao mabeberu.
 
Kwani Pascal Mayalla anasemaje?

Ni dhahiri kwamba Makonda binafsi hana uwezo wowote wa kufanya chochote kwa mtu yeyote , body structure yake haionyeshi uwezo wowote wa mwili wake kupambana na yeyote , ni mtu wa kawaida sana , hana ubavu wa kutenda uhalifu aliotajwa kuhusika nao wa kudidimiza demokrasia ama labda kuzima uhai wa yeyote .

Sasa napenda kujua , Je alipokuwa anatekeleza unyama wake huu alishirikiana na akina nani , ni kikundi chake cha kihalifu ama ni idara ya serikali , kwa maana ya Polisi , Tiss ama JW ?

Natanguliza shukrani

Mimi sijakataa hoja zao, lakini nimeonesha hisia zangu huenda kuna jambo la ziada zaidi ya vurugu za Makonda.

Jiulize kwanini Uganda wamepitisha sheria kali sana za kuwashungulikia mashoga, pia wanafanya vitu kama anavyo tuhumiwa makonda dhidi ya wapinzani kama akina Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu a.k.a Bobi Wine, lakini hawawachukulii hatua kama Makonda?

Ongezeko la mataifa ya kiafrika katika orodha ya mataifa yaliyokatazwa kuingia marekani, ni kete yake ya kisiasa tu mkuu, Tanzania haina madhara yeyote yale ya kufanya ikumbwe na katazo hilo. Huyu mzee ana matatizo.

Nadhani anawadanganya wahafidhina wa kimarekani na ile filosofia yake ya kuifanya marekani taifa kubwa tena, hivyo kupunguza idadi ya wahamiaji itamfanya aonekane ni mtu makini na anayesimamia ahadi zake.

Mambo ya kitoto kabisa toka kwa mzee mzima kama huyo. Tanzania ni mahali salama kabisa. asituhusishe kwenye siasa zake.
