 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.

 OPERATION FANSAN YAMMA: TROOPS SUSTAIN OFFENSIVE OPERATION, NEUTRALIZE TERRORISTS, RECOVER 175 LIVESTOCK AND BUST DRUG RING IN KATSINA STATE


Troops of Sector 2 Joint Task Force, Operation FANSAN YAMMA, have intensified offensive against terrorists and criminal syndicates in Katsina State, recording significant victories across Matazu, Musawa, Kankia, Dutsin-Ma, and Malumfashi Local Government Areas (LGAs) on 9 May 2026.


Acting on credible intelligence regarding terrorists fleeing from recent military operations in Dikawa, troops of the 171 Battalion deployed at Forward Operating Base (FOB) FUDMA laid a successful ambush along the Matazu–Dutsin-Ma axis. During the ensuing firefight, troops neutralized three terrorists and recovered 2 AK-47 rifles with loaded magazines, one motorcycle, 3 cutlasses and assorted charms from the neutralized terrorists. 


In a concurrent clearance operation aimed at dismantling terrorist hideouts in Matazu, Musawa, and Kankia Local Government Areas, troops supported by the Katsina State Community Watch Corps successfully cleared terrorist enclaves at Torcachi, Giginya, and Tashar Ganji villages. Overwhelmed by the sustained military pressure, the terrorists abandoned their camps and fled. Troops subsequently recovered 175 rustled livestock, which are currently secured in military custody and will be handed over to the appropriate local authorities in Matazu LGA.


Furthermore, troops of FOB Malumfashi, operating alongside operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), executed a targeted raid at Kauyan Dawo in Malumfashi LGA. The joint operation led to the arrest of six suspected drug peddlers identified as Sani Rabiu (25), Umar Nasiru (22), Abulkubus Aminu (35), Abdullahi Halilu (27), Abubakar Rabiu (22), and Abubakar Dahiru (33). 


Recovered illicit substances included 82.5 grams of suspected Cannabis Sativa, 15.7 grams of Exol-5, and 1.8 grams of D5. The suspects and the seized narcotics have been transferred to the NDLEA Malumfashi Area Command for further investigation and prosecution.


The Theatre Command remains resolute in its commitment to aggressive operations against all threats to peace and security within the Joint Operations Area. We urge the public to continue supporting security agencies by providing timely and credible information.
