Trump Administration Sanctions Travel From Four Countries.


The Trump administration is threatening to halt some travel from four countries refusing to cooperate with the Department of Homeland Security on deportations. While neither DHS nor State named the four countries involved, according to the Washington Times, sources identified them as the nations of Cambodia, Eritrea, Guinea, and Sierra Leone. The sanctions were first reported by the Washington Times. "That process includes internal discussions with, and official notification to, affected countries".

The Trump administration will impose visa sanctions on four countries that refuse to take back foreign nationals deemed to be in the US illegally, Department of Homeland Security Spokesman Dave Lapan said Wednesday. An administration official confirmed that DHS sent to State letters that triggered the sanctions. "We want those countries to be able to take back their citizens", a State Department official said. The DHS identifies countries that can be sanctioned and the State Department decides what, if any, sanctions could be imposed.

Twelve countries have been designated as recalcitrant as of July, Lapan said, including China and Cuba. It was not immediately clear why these specific four countries were chosen. The sanctions were first reported by the Washington Times. In a news briefing Wednesday, Lapan declined to name the four countries. The State Department also refused to identify the countries.

After a Supreme Court ruling in 2001, immigration authorities have been forced to release after a period of time undocumented immigrants from countries that refuse to accept their repatriation.
Between 2013 and 2016, more than 8,000 undocumented immigrants were released, some after serving time in prison for violent crimes, according to data from the House committee on oversight and government reform.

AGRICULTURE......Agriculture the prominent mechanism for Africa Development.

 Approximately two-thirds of sub-Saharan Africa’s population is dependent on agriculture and the sector is responsible for generating one-third of the continent’s GDP. With its vast arable land, Africa has the potential to not only feed its citizens but to export food to other regions of the world. It is therefore astonishing that Africa must import food and rely on food aid to feed its people. The majority of poor subsistence farmers lack the income to buy seeds, fertilizers and tools and the resources to set up even the simplest irrigation system.  Development assistance for agriculture could help provide the resources and the technical expertise to move smallholder farmers out of poverty, but development assistance for agriculture has declined dramatically in the last two-decades. Land-use policies and climate change have exacerbated the dire situation, as have the recent global food and financial crises. ONE urges development partners to implement the fol...
