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..

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..

The Land of the Stolen..

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..

in addition to the cost, there are these 'requirements and supporting documents' that are simply out of reach for many for various reasons..

add the fact that 99.99% of applications are outright denied - you know, for funsies.. and oh oh, and there are no refunds.. yaaay..

and did i mention the racism? i think that speaks for itself..

hmm, smells a little scammy

Macron avait promis que la France accueillerait les journalistes afghans menacés par les Talibans après la prise de Kaboul en 2021. Mais la coopération des autorités françaises se dégrade au printemps 2024. France 3 ne fait pas le lien avec l'arrivée du gouvernement Bayrou au pouvoir juste avant, et Retailleau à l'Intérieur Moi si. https://france3-regions.franceinfo.fr/pays-de-la-loire/loire-atlantique/nantes/le-jour-ou-elle-met-un-pied-en-afghanistan-c-est-fini-le-combat-de-zahra-shams-journaliste-menacee-en-attente-d-un-visa-francais-3198243.html

This whole #visa #mastercard #valve situation is completely bullshit. Visa calls out incest as one of the restrictions. Lat I checked they are not telling #HBO to remove Game Of Thrones. Did you guys see the first episode? It literally has siblings having sex and talk about their love children

As of April, about 25k Afghans had received an SIV, & another 160k had pending applications, said Adam Bates, an attorney with the International #Refugee Assistance Program who analyzed #State Dept data.
