TO PUNISH THE WEST Namibia Revokes visa Exemptions For 31 COUNTRIES 

It's not the president who decides....its government.

Me and u

​@@DonaldNyathi-k9e All major government decisions are made by lawful entities in cosultation with the presidential office. So, is on that note I refer to the president. Thank you so much for your input but I'm well acquainted with the GRN oparations.

​@@DonaldNyathi-k9e 🙄 really that was not necessary...

The government should also consider removing visa requirements for our fellow Africans, not only those listed or targeted ones. If the government requires that on Africans, then it must at least be lightened and not a burden or a burrier to trade within the continent. I never travel across the continent but I hear people complain in other countries about the cost and lot of nonsens security. Not forgetting the so called "RED LINE" which is avoiding people not to do business within the country, while our animals are immunized each year if I am not mistaken. Let our people trade free within their countries and also within our continent. Can our old leaders learn to trust each other and do trade free. I wish I was in the cabinet too and throw my idea. Anyway, I know there are some out there who reason this way. Much love from your fellow Namibian 🇳🇦

Very sad. As an african American i was looking forward to visiting next yr now i cant go

​@@gibson2675You'll have to get a visa. No more visa exemptions

@@gibson2675of course you can go, brother. Visas are fairly easy to get and pretty cheap with the exchange rate. It’s absolutely normal for countries to have visa regulations. A tourist visa is usually valid for about 3 months.

​@@gibson2675Lol.. Really? Why not?

I think Namibia 🇳🇦 played childish here. Just because your people they overstayed when they go to overseas 😂 well cripple economy will make you think again 🤔

😂😂😂 yea but the difference is people from the UK return home, unlike people from Africa or the ME

Could this be that Namibia has recently discovered 10 billion barrels of oil and they want to protect themselves from exploitation thinking ahead.etc.

@@winstynglyn6893 But how would tourist affect that?

We in Namibia prefer to visit Russia. Who cares about the west

Exactly. Corruption in Africa was in the best interest of the West. Why would they encourage Africans to work together and use their own resources to uplift themselves? 😂😂😂 So we Africans must also make it easier for Africans to visit Africa. A European and American passport should not have more access to Africa than African passports.

It will never be 54. Will not be 45 either. The only regions with the prospects of a federal or unitary state is EAC; minus Congo. Other regions, such as ECOWAS are headed in the opposite direction. They are experiencing balkanization, with countries choosing to exit the regional bloc.. Such as what is taking place with the Sahel Alliance and their emancipation initiatives. Ultimately, it will be up to the respective populations themselves to determine how they choose to move forward. All 54 of them. Some may choose to cede their nationhood sovereignty and republics to merge into a new entity. Some will not. Their decisions will be respected..

As an American I agree but it’s easier said than done. Western European nations are rather wealthy individually compared to the rest of the world but not compared to the USA. Europe knew as individual economies that the US could throw its weight around and would offer these countries bad deals all day! Hence they formed the EU, and instantly they became an economic equal. The Europeans are pretty wise and still struggle with such a union. U have a Brexit and countries like Germany feeling like they are doing all the heavy lifting whilst the Greeks sit at the beach. A Union like Europe won’t work for Africa. Africa has too many incompetent and corrupt rulers and Africa is a much more complicated landscape. A federal system like the US has would probably be better but it would still have a lot of the same constraints and would live and die by how competent and incorruptible the leaders are at the federal level. Nothing that I have seen in afro-American or African culture would make me think a unified Africa would work….but on paper it’s what u should do!

@@gibson2675 Lol, we? But they go for health treatment and send their kids to study in the west. Now what are you going to do in Russia, buy Guns? Why not go where you want to go broer and not follow what politicians are telling you?

You are not a west african

Amen fair is fair

Whatever makes Namibia safer and stronger in terms of international, immigration, and travel policies that's what we should do. This is definitely a right decision.

Yes!

Well said south Africa too.

Love of money countries sold out their birth rights

Not with that 🤡 Ramaphosa at the helm. BLK South Africans need to get rid of that f.o.o.l ASAP

Not with the kind of mindset South African people have. A people that voted for a white party, White part came second in their election. Apartheid thought them nothing

I think Namibia is doing the "pilot testing" of this genius idea. If results are good, many other self respecting African countries with sense will also implement same. I hope so.

they cant bro remember that SA is owned by them and listed a company in the stock exchange

@africaisking7817 if people disrespect you, don't waste your life trying to make them respect you, just walk away.

yes

Probably more foolish, but foolishness is not lost on Africa.

@@CarsNamibia i salute 🫡 🇳🇦

@@martin4819 why the anger?

@@ngutjiuangutuazeratueutjiu7691 No anger. I’m rooting for Africa but this move isn’t going to hurt the West but it will likely hurt Tourism in Namibia as most Western countries have 186 other countries they can travel Visa free to. Also, the West isn’t punishing African countries by requiring them to get a visa to enter. The added scrutiny is needed to make sure people aren’t entering Western countries to work or over extend their stay….which happens all of the time. It’s just another case of an African leader doing nothing while making it look like they are doing something. Africa has so many other more important things it needs to work on other than weaponizing visas. I mean outside of a handful of African countries an African can travel to most of the rest of Africa without a visa. Probably would make more sense to first address this? Also u know these leaders are just going to pocket this visa money anyways.

How many wokes visit Namibia lol

​@@gibson2675 lots of whites, African Americans we never expect anything from them anyways

Lot less tourist. Be like Zimbabwe. Eat Berries. Don't invest in Namibia..

@@KevinTravis-kw1rr how many African goes to UK, USA, Asia for tourism?

@@s_africanchannel4810 many. Africa needs tourist. Hotels. Arts and crafts. support if tourism. Even Soweto in Joburg plenty white tourist.

The truth is that the term tourist doesn't mean white.The problem is that the Berlin conference sank too deep in African leaders.If Africa had open borders, good security and defense,tourism within Africa would be very great.

being an American African, at least you have right of return and claiming citizenship to Ghana

Ghana is giving some of them hard times​@@yeherzkel

​@yeherzkel why mention only ghana? They should be able to access the whole continent

Visas are done based on what you claim through your passport. If there is a restriction on a Afrikan passport that same restriction would be directed by that Afrikan country to the US passport holder. Which is why folks even bother to get their dual citizenship. Or find a spouse. It bypasses that restriction. Otherwise closing the door the the US with regards to visas includes AA folks holding US passport.

@@flavorsofthecontinent7195the continent is 54 sovereign countries. Each has their own policies with regards to entry requirements to their country. There is no one policy that could be applicable across the continent.

Africa has been exploited for all the years by the west so it's gonna take another few years to come right and supported by its genuine government that wants the best for its people

Well said! Individuals need to take accountability and responsibility towards addressing and fixing the problems of their countries.

Man, what is the problem with getting a visa; the country is not a train station. And because of tourism you just want to let anybody in without even a minimum of control! Plus it'll bring some money in, at least to take care of the airport expenses. So please, do not be an Uncle Tom always afraid of your shadow and instead always counting on others, do for yourself or deal with people that respect you and treat you as equal (in this case equal = human being).

Pride and dignity comes first 🎉🎉🎉🎉

Why aren't European countries worried about hurting their tourism when they place strict visa requirements upon Africans? The problem with you Africans is that you are so weak minded. You are willing to embarrass yourselves for economic reasons. Develop some self esteem first and foremost. You are not inferior to Europeans. If a Namibian requires a visa to travel to Europe then they should also require a visa to travel to Namibia

Go bk to school😂

It was discovered in the 1960s already. That explains the history.

Namibia has much bigger problems than visa implementations.. they’re solving the wrong issues !!!

I like your response, drizzle drizzle. No one is above the law and no country is a super power neither can they dominate this planet... drizzle drizzle

Absolutely 💯!

Drizzle Drizzle

Thanks for understanding. Easy.

You’re not smart

Namibia did not revoke anyone’s visas. They implemented a law that foreign visitors will require a visa in future.

RE - VO - KE . The point is not visa revoke . The point is IMPLEMENTATION of visa .

Isn't Romania a member of the EU bloc of states, with common policy on such things? Just asking.

@@ade008 the EU is not what it seems. There are still counties who use their own currencies. And once they become EU members Euro or no Euro the prices go up but the salaries remain the same and folks become poorer and poorer. The only real "benefit" they have is the right to work in other EU countries and become someone elses cheap labor. White does not equal privilege.

Well whatever be the case, this is going to go down as you do me, I do you like you do scenario. It’s fair.. the Namibians can rather take advantage of Russias visa free alternative option. World is big…

​@@BonsuBigWhaledont be sad. West africans abuse the system in East Africa and Southern Africa, we tired better take step by stoping this rirus

"they don't want to stay there" - how does this explain the genocidal mentality ? Most of them stayed by the way...

We dont need you blood money you hate us how can we loves you if you hate us fwii go

@@mikeilikeit9685 Brotha! I’m a Black American who loves Africa and Africans. I’ve spent an entire year in Namibia. Use your mind not your feelings brother. How does this hurt a tourist who has money to spend? I can just fly past Namibia and spend thousands of US dollars in Zambia for example. I could buy a property in South Africa as opposed to Namibia. You see, this only hurts Namibia and Namibians.

@@mikeilikeit9685 Tourism is a billion dollar industry which fuels the Namibian tourism industry and taxes help develop Namibia. This only hurts Namibians.

I thought Africa was finally waking up when I saw the revolutions in Burkina etc. However kicking out foreign military powers are very different from kicking out foreign visitors and investors. Instead of waking up it seems we are becoming proud racists. Instead of wanting equality we want revenge. I’m disappointed. Should I be afraid to invite my European friends to visit?

@@ajdaames even you are black from some where or within most black are dumb habaling canball late they killed see all african leaders whose make friend of them ,white monopoly never die so long we loves the but they hste us till when we keep them warm after all they eat us is beter to move with something yes it is hard to divorce but every rightfull living it costly ,they must come with visa

House cat.

It's very click bait. THEY ALWAYS USE TO MAKE MONEY, AND LATER SAY "ME NO BLACK".

they can keep their money for all i care, why should we be happy with scrupples falling off the table, most of the proceeds from those people anyways are lining the pockets fo the elite and the west .

That’s not right! All carribean countries should have visa free visits to African countries and vice versa

Visas regulations are for visitors. Tourist destinations become expensive and impossibly so for local people. Since the 2010 soccer World Cup in South Africa prices went up and never came down. I can’t afford to sit in a coffee shop in my own hometown anymore. Yes, prices have to be lowered for residents (all residents including foreigners) tourists unfortunately have to fork out the bucks.

@@ajdaames That is not how it works , I have lived here 26 1/2 years and I am still treated the same as tourist that flew were yesterday. As long as you look different you will be treated as a 5th class citizen , but back in America foreigners are treated exactly the same as locals.

@@robertlackey7212 I can identify with that. I’ve been living in Spain for 22 years. I work. I pay a shit load of tax. I have permanent residency but I’m obviously not Spanish and I still get treated as a foreigner. The world will never be fair and people will never treat each other as equals. This seems to be the sad reality we find ourselves in. The fact is that these “sanctions” will only harm the average man on the street.

@@ajdaames " The fact is that these “sanctions” will only harm the average man on the street." That is exactly it , you have stated the situation perfectly.

It’s easy to get a visa. Folks will still go if they really want to.
