President Trump’s Administration Implements New Travel Restrictions on African Countries
In a recent development, President Donald Trump’s administration has announced new travel restrictions targeting 43 countries, with a significant number of African nations included in the list. The draft of the restrictions, revealed by the New York Times, classifies countries into red, orange, and yellow lists based on the severity of the restrictions imposed.
Among the African nations affected, Libya, Somalia, and Sudan have been placed on the red list. This designation implies a complete travel ban to the United States for citizens of these countries, similar to the restrictions imposed on nations like Iran and North Korea. On the other hand, Eritrea, South Sudan, and Sierra Leone have been categorized under the orange list, indicating heightened restrictions on travel to the US without a complete ban.
Additionally, 16 African countries, including Angola, Cameroon, and Zimbabwe, are listed under the yellow category. Citizens of these nations will have a grace period of 60 days to address concerns raised by the US authorities or face the possibility of stricter measures being implemented in the future. It is worth noting that Nigeria and South Africa are notably absent from any of the lists.
