 U.S Finalizes $20,000 Visa Bond Policy Affecting Nigeria and 49 Other Nations The United States government has officially formalized its visa bond policy, making it a permanent measure that could require travelers from 50 designated countries, including Nigeria, to pay a refundable bond of up to $20,000 before receiving certain visas. First introduced as a pilot scheme in 2025, the policy targets applicants seeking B1 and B2 visas, which are designated for business and tourism. According to the U.S. Department of State, the initiative is designed to bolster compliance with local immigration laws and drastically reduce visa overstay rates. How the Visa Bond Policy Works Under the permanent guidelines, U.S. consular officers have the discretion to instruct eligible applicants to post a bond as a prerequisite for visa issuance. However, U.S. authorities have clarified that the financial requirement will not be applied automatically to every traveler from the listed nations. Data anal...

 Somali president says his country got Türkiye’s support amid sovereignty threats


Somali President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud said on Tuesday that Somalia has strongly felt Türkiye’s support at a time when the country is facing threats to its territorial integrity and sovereignty.


At a joint press conference with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan at the Presidential Dolmabahce Working Office, Mohamud thanked Erdogan for his support and leadership during difficult times in Somalia.


Mohamud said that, especially during a period marked by threats to Somalia’s territorial integrity and sovereignty, Somalia has felt the support of Türkiye and the Turkish people.


He added that his country is working to establish a strong government and to safeguard its territorial integrity and sovereignty.


Mohamud recalled that Türkiye had previously played a mediating role between Somaliland and Somalia and has since continued efforts to help resolve the issue in a peaceful and friendly manner.


He said Erdogan once again reiterated that Türkiye stands with Somalia and will continue to support the country, stressing that Türkiye’s backing is extremely important for Somalia’s progress, peace, stability, and recovery.


Mohamud said his talks with Erdogan also focused on strengthening and deepening bilateral cooperation across multiple sectors.


He noted that Somalia and Türkiye have intensified cooperation in recent years, particularly in security and humanitarian assistance.


Mohamud further thanked all brotherly countries, regional institutions, and organizations that have shown solidarity with Somalia.


Referring to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Mohamud said his aggressive stance, including actions affecting Somalia, is unacceptable.


He said such behavior constitutes a violation of international law, the UN's founding charter, and the principles of diplomacy and agreements that brought the African Union together.


Israel became the first country in the world to recognize Somaliland as a sovereign state on Friday.


Somaliland, which has lacked official recognition since declaring independence from Somalia in 1991, operates as a de facto independent administrative, political, and security entity, with the central government unable to assert control over the region and its leadership unable to secure international recognition of independence.
