As much as this comes amid a flurry of "screw the US" sentiment (and fair play for that), this move also included thirty other countries and has been a long-standing political issue in Namibia. It also was announced months ago and went into effect two weeks ago, and we're only hearing about it now for some reason.

This bold decision, spearheaded by President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah is framed as a move towards establishing reciprocity in international relations, asserting that if African citizens require visas to enter the United States, then American citizens should also be subject to the same requirements when entering Namibia. The President emphasized that this policy change is not an act of aggression but a matter of fairness and national dignity.

Smart move, especially with the recent mineral finds in the country. Hope they don't get obliterated for having the sheer audacity to not bow to imperialism.
