 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.

  Several Injured as Suspected Bandits Ambush Sunday Igboho’s Security Team in Oyo Forest


Several operatives of a private security network linked to Yoruba Nation campaigner Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho, were injured after suspected cross-border bandits ambushed them during an anti-crime operation in the Old Oyo National Park.


The incident occurred while members of the Iru Ekun security outfit — associated with Igboho — were conducting a mission to track and dislodge suspected kidnappers and other armed criminal elements operating within the expansive forest reserve.


According to sources familiar with the operation, the team had deployed surveillance drones to identify criminal hideouts and monitor the movement of armed groups before advancing into the area. The mission, however, turned violent when the operatives came under heavy gunfire from suspected bandits believed to be part of cross-border criminal networks.


A fierce gun battle ensued inside the forest, leaving several members of the Iru Ekun team wounded. The exact number of casualties has not been officially confirmed.


The ambush has raised fresh concerns about the growing activities of kidnappers, bandits, and other armed groups in forests and remote communities across the South-West region.


Efforts to get an official reaction from the Oyo State Police Command proved unsuccessful, as calls to the Command’s spokesperson, DSP Olayinka Ayanlade, were not answered at the time of this report.
