 U.S announces visa curbs for some foreign nationals in South Africa Secretary of State Marco Rubio ‌said on Tuesday the U.S. government was announcing a new visa restriction ​policy targeting some foreign nationals ​in South Africa. The policy targets "foreign ⁠nationals who are responsible for, ​or complicit in, the enactment or ​implementation of laws or policies that enable uncompensated land seizures, race-based discrimination, and/or ​the incitement of imminent violence ​against members of minority ethnic or racial ‌groups ⁠in South Africa," Rubio said in a statement. "The South African government has not adequately addressed the ​previously laid ​out ⁠concerns," Rubio said, Reuters reported. Relations between Washington and Pretoria have ​soured since the start of ​Donald ⁠Trump's second term, with the U.S. president criticizing the country ⁠for ​its policies aimed at ​addressing racial inequality.

RIVERS RESIDENTS PROTEST ENVIRONMENTAL DAMAGE, ACCUSE SHELL OF NEGLIGENCE. (PHOTOS).



Residents of Ogale community in Eleme Local Government Area of Rivers State are currently protesting an oil spill allegedly caused by Shell Nigeria. The protest is taking place at a Shell oil facility near the site of the spill, which occurred about two weeks ago.


Protesters are carrying placards with messages such as "Shell Clean Up Your Mess" as they march around the area. The community is demanding that Shell takes immediate action to clean up the spill and restore their environment.


According to Shell Nigeria, the oil spill occurred on February 5 when a saver pit overflowed during flushing operations. The company claims to have contained the spill and notified authorities, and is making arrangements for a joint visit to assess the cause and impact of the spill.


However, the Ogale community is not satisfied with Shell's response and is seeking urgent action to address the environmental damage caused by the spill. The Niger Delta region has been plagued by decades of oil spills, resulting in extensive environmental damage and harming the livelihoods and health of local communities.
