The African Union Commission has responded to the United States’ newly expanded travel ban with a call for a more balanced, evidence-based approach.
AU in a statement yesterday called on the US administration to engage with affected countries through constructive dialogue; rather than unilateral restrictions.
The new ban, signed by President Donald Trump earlier this week, blocks nearly all travel to the US by nationals of twelve countries, including Chad, the Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Libya, and Somalia; all in Africa, and Afghanistan, Myanmar, Haiti, Iran, Sudan, and Yemen.
