Good for her! And for Namibia!

And this is why travel is so fucking hard! It's just countries reacting to other countries. Christ on a stick. It's just exhausting to watch!

She has a damn name: Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah

Kudos to her, great move.

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.

Does this really belong here? It may be funny to some, but it's not intended to be.

I get the sentiment, but worry that this is punishing people that don't have anything to do with the atrocities being committed by the US regime. Some of those 500 US citizens may be seeking asylum, like some of the rest of us are considering.

Namibia and Botswana are decent places to be in, off the radar and politically safe and liberal

But Canadians are still good, right?

... They didn't before? Why not? It only makes sense.
