The gemsbok, or South African oryx, is a large antelope in the genus Oryx. It is endemic to the dry and barren regions of Botswana, Namibia, South Africa and Zimbabwe, mainly inhabiting the Kalahari and Namib Deserts, areas in which it is supremely adapted for survival.
La Namibia ha abolito l'ingresso senza visto per i viaggiatori statunitensi, in una coraggiosa mossa diplomatica per impedire loro di rubare illegalmente i suoi minerali.
A partire da oggi, 1º aprile, il governo della #Namibia richiederà a tutti i cittadini statunitensi che entrano in Namibia di essere in possesso di un visto.
Ogni cittadino statunitense sorpreso in Namibia senza un visto completamente approvato sarà dichiarato "immigrato illegale" e trattato esattamente come Donald Trump tratta gli #immigrati africani negli #StatiUniti.
In seguito a questo annuncio, più di 500 cittadini statunitensi, che avevano estratto diamanti, oro, uranio, rame e altri minerali in Namibia senza visto, hanno fatto richiesta di visto per continuare l'attività mineraria, ma le loro domande sono state tutte respinte e gli è stato intimato di lasciare il Paese oggi (1º aprile) o di affrontare una brutale espulsione a partire da domani.
La Namibia è uno dei maggiori produttori di #Diamanti al mondo e ora sta cercando di ottenere il controllo completo sulle sue #Miniere di diamanti.
