The executive order took effect on June 9, prohibiting travel to the United States for citizens from a list of countries, including some in Africa.
JOHANNESBURG—Some critics of President Donald Trump’s latest proclamation of bans from entering the United States on the nationals of seven African countries, and restrictions on three others, say these are unjustified and proof of American neo-colonialism and imperialism.
On the other hand, supporters and some experts said his measures are fair, as some of the countries concerned are terrorist havens, while others are poorly governed and don’t have the security systems in place to adequately screen and vet travelers.
