@liaizon granted, I wounder why @sixtus got one...
- Maybe it was since the #US doesn't seem to have #PressFreedom and demands #Jour.alists to register in advance?
Cuz AFAICT there's no benefit fir a #Visa compared to #ESTA since the #USA (and #Japan, abeit the latter one isn't notorious for it) allows it's #CPB to reject entrants at random with neither dispute resolution nor appeals.
#Colombia President Gustavo Petro is expelling the entire Israeli diplomatic delegation following reports Israeli forces detained 2 Colombians in the #GlobalSumudFlotilla.
He also announced the immediate revocation of his country's free #trade agreement with #Israel.
“If this information is true, there is a new international crime by #Netanyahu," Petro posted.
The #US revoked Petro's #visa last week after he took part in a pro- #Palestinian demonstration while in NY for UNGA.

#US to revoke #Colombia President Petro's #visa over 'reckless' actions in NY
The US will revoke Colombian President #GustavoPetro's visa because he "urged US soldiers to disobey orders & incite violence" [he didn’t say anything violent at all] in NY on Friday, the #State Dept claimed.

Javier Sanchez Mendoza Jr. helped Sofi secure an H-2A visa, promising a job on a Georgia blueberry farm.
When she arrived, she was not sent out to work in the fields like the others. She was forced to live at his house and sign a marriage license.

in Kenya, the lowest cost for a visa is 160 US Dollars, that converts to roughly 20,000 Kenyan Shillings - and this is before all the other accompanying costs..
the average earn in Kenya is around 2 US Dollars a day, that is 320 Kenyan Shillings, if you do the math, you can see how this is pretty much impossible for many..

today.. this one kinda came by like a passing train even though i could always hear it blowing it's whistle loudly every single day for everyone to hear - you know, very 'USofA'..
so.. about them visas..
if you're from Africa, especially if you're black, trying to get a visa to the stolen land that calls itself the United States is.. it's a lot, a lot of everything..

so why am i bringing this up?
if i were to sum it up:
in addition to all of the other fuckery the US gets upto in Kenya, applying for a US visa is another classic case of neocolonialism in play, and this also applies to many other countries who's play-book is very similar to that of the US - and there are many..

then again, the US is built on the genocide of indigenous people, stolen land and the backs of enslaved black people, so i guess the US is doing as the US has always done and in the end will always be..

Kenyans have gone bankrupt trying to get a visa, others are forever in debt as a result and let's not forget the personal and emotional cost that comes with it all - leading some down a different path altogether..
and.. life is fucking hard in Kenya for so many..
trying and hoping for a better chance at life elsewhere comes up regularly simply because, by design, very little(if any) works in the interest and benefit of the people..
the future can look bleak at this point
