In a bold move dripping with irony, Namibian President Netumbo Nandi Ndaitwah has turned the tables on US exceptionalism by announcing that American citizens will now need a visa to enter Namibia. Yes, that Namibia, the one with diamond, studded soil and far more dignity than the ego of a certain US president.
Starting April 1st, any US citizen found in Namibia without a fully approved visa will be classified as an âillegal alienâ and treated, as the President eloquently put it, âthe same way Donald Trump treats African immigrants in the USâ Translation? Not very nicely.
More than 500 American nationals currently roaming Namibiaâs diamond, gold, uranium, and copper mines without so much as a stamp in their passports have been told to pack up and leave by April 1 or prepare to be shown the door, Trump-style, starting April 2.
Itâs poetic justice with a geopolitical punch: Namibia, one of the worldâs top diamond producers, is reclaiming control over its mineral wealth. In other words, itâs cutting out the colonial middleman, this time, in a MAGA hat.
Turns out, if you spend years building walls, demonizing migrants and spewing xenophobic nonsense, eventually someone returns the favor with just the right blend of class, sarcasm and national sovereignty.
