How Western Embassies Literally Extort Africans Applying for Visas?

#africanews #visa #usembassy
It's no longer news that the West does not want Africans on their land. And, they have taken measures to ensure that Africans seeking greener pastures remain in their countries. One of the measures Western countries have taken is through visa applications. In December 2022, a Kenyan performer and DJ known as Coco EM could not make it to the Terra Sagrada festival in Cape Verde which she had been looking forward to for a year. She couldn't even make it out of her country because, at the check-in counter in Kenya, she was told she could not board her flight unless she bought a return ticket with the same airline to prove she would return home after the festival, meanwhile, she already had a return ticket with another airline. This incident is just one of the thousands of stories that portray how Africans are faced with unfair travel restrictions to the US and Europe.
In early 2023, Nigerian Afropop star Yemi Alade requested a Schengen visa but her request went unanswered. She was also denied a Canadian visa for the International Africa Nights festival. According to the co-founder of the festival, Suzanne Rousseau, the singer was denied due to financial reasons and fears that she would “not want to leave Canada”. And this is someone who has several world tours under her belt and is a celebrity. This means it doesn't matter whether you are a high-profile individual attending an event of international standards, it's all about your passport or more specifically your African passport.

The solution to this challenge is to close all European and the united states embassies in Africa, and Africa redrawn its embassies from those countries.

[@kojomensah7474]

I totally agree with you 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯 but the socal leaders the 30pieces of silver must be kicked out but no matter the situation the people still vote these people back in

I blame African leadership who are spineless and do not put an end to this nonsense. The travelers are not innocent either, Africans need to hold their Leaders accountable. In most cases Africans are looking for a better life because we elect bad leaders like PLO says. Corruption is from the West and they find willing participants in Africa. Africa needs a revolution.

The most dreadful thing is if an African lives in Nigeria and want to visit his family in another African country, they have to go through Europe. They cannot go direct. We do not want European corrupt visa system in Africa or the need to be micro chipped to visit our family in Africa.

Why do you always invite strangers to oversee you when deciding on African affairs? Answer me this, do the strangers invite you to get involved in their foreign affairs? Absolutely not! how long will you remain children?

[@yvonnethomas5599]

The African government of these countries must wake up up to reality, and take control of their resources and countries develop their own countries. And you have to treat these countries the same way they’re treating your own African people

Africa is our home. The nicest place to live in. With all these natural resources and favourable weather cinditions. Why bother go to western countries and end up being humiliated? Its so absurd. The west depends on africa for its survival 😢.

[@greedyweeb8368]

That's not just west, it's the same everywhere like in China for example. When you said "A good African is an African that returns" it snapped on me. You will have regular Chinese taxi drivers asking you when you are returning, why aren't returning etc... I even had one who spent more than 10 years in foreign land asking me that kind question. Hypocrites. I really want our people to organize in a meaningful way, just someone to show us the way and we will follow. I swear it is too much. I study/live in China by the way.

[@user-gu1sn5zc1y]

That is why african business men and women have a very difficult time accessing westen markets travel restrictions. Its very difficult to meet new customers snd do sells when you cant access your customers. The best solutions look for other international markets and music tour other countries. We must move away from the west, we also should restrict their movements into our countries..

[@saarcfashion1196]

In Bangladesh we have to pay $360 for the Agency (SEVIS) to catch you to send back to your home from the USA in any circumstances may arise. This is absolutely fraudulent activity to charge someone would never step in your country until get VISA. And you charge $160 for facing the VISA consulate. Why should I pay $360 for never getting a VISA?

[@heathermtetwa1579]

African countries should follow Namibia's example. All countries in the west should apply for visa to Africa. Tit for tat.

The yemi alade one is surprising coz thought Canada encourages women asylum seekers to push their agenda. But yemi was treated as would a man from her country. To the lady in Namibia: we ought not want to go to their country in the first place :- they are merely taking advantage of the unrealistic interest in going to their country, once you boycott it in an organized fashion watch the tables turn. Also 🇺🇸 visa department is run like a 🇺🇸 municipality which issues unnecessary citations to it's residents just to stay afloat so they take money knowing they'll deny you coz they can

If they would stop doing all of the things in which they are doing to place themselves in such degrading and humiliating situations, such as selling their properties, just to force themselves into a society that would prefer that they stay in their own countries.If they would have more pride and a higher esteem for their own lands ,stop accepting the abuse to run to foreign lands this would not be happening.First you have to stop blaming others for the conditions you create then you have to make a change.

Pourquoi nécessairement faire des affaires, des études dans les pays occidentaux surtout qu'ils appliquent sournoisement des politiques de restriction de circulation de personnes chez eux. Les Africains doivent savoir aller chercher ailleurs qu'en occident (universités, affaires ou business...). On peut s'organiser différemment surtout que beaucoup peut se faire avec l'internet/IA... En outre, déjà appliquer le principe de réciprocité dans les relations internationales. Cherchons à être autonomes et responsables. Développons nos propres intelligences et compétences sans leur concours sans nécessairement (re)chercher leur reconnaissance, leur adoubement, leur légitimité ! Seule la lutte libère.

I love the video title and the first example was the DJ who tried to go to Cape Verde (an African country) and was denied. The West and wealthier Far East nations have very valid reasons to scrutinize people coming from poorer nations. They don’t want people working illegally in their countries and not pay taxes and never leave. Ironic too….you all are bashing the West but only 5 African nations are visa free for Africans. Which means Africans don’t want other africans in their country without the added scrutiny. Maybe fix that first before you decide to destroy tourism to the continent?
