Keep your American, Mr. Trump and we will protect our African Moving

On June 16, the New York Times, the United States President Donald Trump is considering expanding the expansion of a travel prohibition to include most 36 additional countries, including African, Zimbabwe.

Earlier twelve days ago, Trump announced a preaching of citizens from 12 nations from joining the United States. Seven of them – Chad, Republic of Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Libya, Somalia and Sudan – Africa.

Burundi, Cuba, Laos, Sierra Leone, Togo, Turkmenistan and Venezuela, not a complete ban, not a complete ban, partially applied travel restrictions. Citizens of these nations are permanently transferred to the United States or from obtaining tourist or student visas.

As promised on the campaign trail, Trump decreases over immigration.

For the first time in my life, I now face the extraordinary perspective of several members of a nation and friends who went to the United States and friends.

My uncle My son, Dr. Anna Mhaka, for example, was completed and applied in the United States. The former classmate Spencer Matare is more than two decades in Indianapolis and is a US citizen.

The political spectacles of the Trump administration’s migrants are members of the US Society, both legal and undocumented, both legal and undocumented, both legal and undocumented and members of the US Society.

I hope that many in Africa have traces of many and I know that the obstacles that grow up to Migration of Trump.

Again, I’m not from them.

Since I graduated from Cape Town University in 1997, I never felt tend to travel to America – I did not allow to live there.

I accept that this is doing something from anomaly.

I come from a time and place where the West is idealized – I romanticize through the appropriately lenses of an upset. This longing was not only in my community, not in my society, not along the African continent, with the sustainable legacy of the French, Portuguese, Spanish and English colonial power. He was never mine again.

International Migrants Day – December 18, 2024 – Afrobarometer broadcast the report on 24 African countries. 49 percent of Africans have given the best destinations with aggressive, North America and Europe, it has not given a large number of transferring in Africa.

About 49 percent wanted to search for better job opportunities as a reason for immigration; 29 percent pointed to poverty and economic difficulties.

Many Africans still believe in “American dream” or his European equivalent – and I do not look at them. Africans in the United States have succeeded in work, academies and sports. NBA’s late NBA star Dikembe Mutombo, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) is a case at the point.

Mutombo for his life, after the 1997 cant care in 1997, the $ 29 million Medical and Research Center built in the memory of his mother in 1997 donated $ 15 million worth of wealth.

Its tragedy, the general, story, story reflects deep-rooted socio-economic problems in Africa – more conditions that continue to drive immigration: broken health systems, corruption, unemployment, poverty. In contrast, the United States often looks like a shelter.

In January 2022, the report on the Black Immigrants in the United States showed that the report was among the latest incomes of black immigrants: 43 percent came between 2010 and 2019.

Although the Caribbean Sea remained the best source area, Africa brought many of the last growth. Between 2000 and 2019, the number of black African immigrants increased by 246 percent – about 600,000 to two million. Today, the individual persons of African descendants are 42% of the black population of the US foreign area – 23 percent in 2000.

When Trump hears the proposed visa prohibitions for the first time, I felt a deep source. As of January 11, 2018, it was not possible to remember the interpretation of “Shithole countries” comment – an act of racial profiling in African peoples.

On the contrary, I came to see the distributing and insulin policies in a different light.

On January 20, the United States has frozen its assistance to Africa.

Now he is close to denying many visa – from Burkina Faso to Cameroon and Ivory Coast.

Approximately, Trump crashes African peoples towards self-reliance – we forcing us to meet the invaluable needs of our populations.

However, it is not alone in “Anti-African” policy.

Rhetoric against immigration was tougher along the US political spectrum. For Africans, it was even more difficult to provide a student visa. In 2023, in Sub-Saharan African countries, the United States has a higher visa rates – an average of 57 percent. The ratio of 61 percent in other regions, except South Africa, which is rejected by about 19 percent, rose to 61 percent.

This reduction confirmation does not affect me because I do not want to visit or settle in the United States.

“The fear of being renewed by the” land of liberty “” The fear of being a victim of the American police officer’s cruelty – the world has witnessed the defect of George Floyd by 2020 to 2020.

However, the police are not the only reason I have chosen to stay away from the brutality. Africa has more reasons to never think of settling there.

Many Americans are fighting in deep-rooted problems, and are met in the face of Africans on the continent. According to Western Health-Gallup health indices, as in many parts of the United States, about 29 million adults to join the US affordable health work – a problem that Kinshasa is familiar. In 2023, the US Census Bureau said 36.8 million Americans live in poverty.

Despite the predicted bright illusion of Hollywood, the United States is not Utopia.

People like Anna and Spencer have succeeded there, there is no way to achieve “American dream” for most Africans. They must find futures in their own countries or other parts of Africa.

Need a large transformation.

China has achieved the sweep of economic reforms in only 40 years after the discharge.

A large mineral wealth of Africa and its young, educated population is possible with similar change. Direction of raw materials to operate industrial growth, workplace and higher general domestic product can handle.

But peace and good governance must come first. And our investment priorities must change. Instead of pouring money on defense and security, African governments should pay attention to artificial intelligence, health and scientific research.

As Africans, we need to stop determining ourselves through Western help, confirmation or instruction.

Whatever comes, I will stay in the home country.

Protect America, Mr. Trump and we will protect our African.
