She has a damn name: Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah

Kudos to her, great move.

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.

Does this really belong here? It may be funny to some, but it's not intended to be.

I get the sentiment, but worry that this is punishing people that don't have anything to do with the atrocities being committed by the US regime. Some of those 500 US citizens may be seeking asylum, like some of the rest of us are considering.

More poor people caught in the crossfire of politicians

Namibia and Botswana are decent places to be in, off the radar and politically safe and liberal

Ouch. Sadly this is what Trump wants.

Off-topic: that orange paint in the right photo gets wonkier the more you look at it. Terrifying, really.

The theory of Trump's tariff actually has rationale. He tries to force countries to submit to US' economic demands and imperialism. The problem with this, though, is that Trump and co. assume we still live in 19th century, when you can still perform gunboat diplomacy and that the international community won't retaliate.

Trump is a really strange character. He probably doesn't have actual control. The only persons benefitting from this are the tech bros and oligarchs. They stole as much as they could from government data to surveil people and train their AI. And Putin may either have kompromat or funding Trump, or both, for the US president to kowtow to Russia.Trump is the frontman and being propped as pazi should shit hit the fan on the administration.

Edit: added info

Joke's on her! Trump can't find Namibia.

Time for a color (...) revolution, I see.

But Canadians are still good, right?

Based

Not to be a party pooper, but where tf are you folk hearing about this? I can't get a fact check on this story anywhere. msn.com "reporting" what people are sharing on social media doesn't count, as Yankee mass media cannot be trusted any more than Russian.

This feels very disinfo to me - using the black female president of another country to accelerate the race war in the USA. Just because it's something I like to hear, or something I agree with, doesn't mean it's legit.

What I have found, from The Namibian today,

President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah has slammed circulating claims that Namibia is planning to deport 500 American citizens, calling the allegations false and urging the public to be vigilant of fake social media posts.

A press release issued by the Presidency on Wednesday said it has noted with concern the circulation of social media posts and online articles alleging that Nandi-Ndaitwah ordered the deportation of the American nationals on the grounds of visa reciprocity.

The statement pointed out that various social media accounts circulated this fabrication attributed to the president. “These posts feature fabricated quotes and images containing misinformation and disinformation intended to tarnish the image of the president, the Namibian government and to create potential diplomatic embarrassment,” it read.

I hope everyone holds off sharing this "story" til a reliable site backs it up. There's a reason it's posted as a text image in a humour community, and not on worldnews or something.

Good for her! And for Namibia!

... They didn't before? Why not? It only makes sense.

I'm loving her outfit. She's looking classy as hell
