UK visa threat puts Namibia in diplomatic spotlight
Published 11 months, 1 week ago
Description
Namibia has been drawn into a diplomatic storm after United Kingdom (UK) home secretary Shabana Mahmood threatened Trump style visa bans on Namibia, Angola, and the Democratic Republic of Congo, if they refuse to take back people the UK labels as “illegal migrants and criminals.”
The warning has sparked global debate over sovereignty, migration policy, and the balance of power between African nations and Western governments.
To unpack the implications on diplomacy, human rights, and Namibia’s foreign policy stance, Desert FM speaks to international relations expert Tuliameni Kalomoh.
