This action would have been more better framed if the travel restrictions excluded African-Americans.
Deal with your country and we will deal with ours
What happen to the 2nd American Civil War? It seamed to me that everybody went back to doing the same old thing people still buying stuff and complaining about it. we need this War to get back on track other wise you still being distracted by those stupid Celebrities and their antics.
Hi Sandra, love your wotk. When are you visiting the Sahel region?
African countries are actually immune to any US sanctions; most Africans depend on themselves, not on anyone, not even on their governments
AES is the GOAT
The Land of the Brave AES 🇲🇱 🇧🇫 🇳🇪
See this is the thing our gov need to understand we are not dealing with the old mindset of African state! no, this is (Mali, Niger, Bakina) those country have a some different mindset of African leader, that is why they can punch back in a certain capacity the way they see fit. like I said its not like before these country take control of their natural resource so they sort have a leg up in the game and they have resource that we would be interesting that reason why they can punch back at us in the way they do, when last we hearing a country banning US citizen that almost like unheard of in some sense.
Happy New Year to you and your family! May 2026 be adventurous and with good memories.
La jeunesse te suit ����
Thank you for your great reporting on Africa.
Happy new year God bless you and your family's and one love to my Africa brother and sister yes I'm a Jamaica 🇯🇲 and I will always support president Ibrahim Traore and the AES leaders one love Africa
Hoorah for those Africa countries who hold to a standard necessary to deal with some of the bias policies coming out of the Trump regime. I would urge any African leaders to consider some non-restriction on travel for blacks in the diaspora who are supportive and want to visit the homeland.
I’m they should only Allow black Pan African Americas to come that would really our tge Trump administration officials
Leader jeune et brillant ����
