Nobel laureate Wole Soyinka loses visa in the USA: reason - criticism of Trump.
Nigerian writer Wole Soyinka has had his entry to the USA revoked
According to inkorr.com: The 91-year-old Nobel laureate Wole Soyinka reported that his visa to the USA has been canceled. The reasons for this decision made by the consulate remain undisclosed. The writer was personally invited to visit the consulate to revoke his visa, which he found outrageous.
The consulate requested me to come personally to revoke my visa. It was very strange, I called it a strange love letter from the embassy.
In 2016, Soyinka refused permanent residency in the USA by tearing up his green card in protest against the election of Donald Trump. He ironically noted that his green card 'was torn into several pieces'. The writer believes that his criticism of Trump's immigration policy could be the reason for the visa cancellation.
Trump's Criticism and Comparison to Idi Amin
Soyinka harshly criticizes Trump's policies, calling him 'Idd Amin with a white face'. This is not the first time he has expressed dislike for the American administration.
Idd Amin was a Ugandan dictator from 1971 to 1979, known for his brutal regime and human rights violations.
It should be noted that the Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to María Corina Machado from Venezuela. Donald Trump expressed satisfaction with this choice, although he acknowledged that he failed to receive this prestigious award.
The cancellation of Wole Soyinka's visa due to his criticism of Trump's policies has again raised questions about their relations. The comparison of Trump to Idd Amin has sparked new discussions in society since such comparisons always provoke debates on important issues of human rights and political ethics. This situation highlights the tension between the cultural elite and the US administration, which is not the first time has become a subject of discussions in the media and among the public.
