BCD: A stunning diplomatic reversal just shook the global travel system. Burkina Faso has blacklisted the United States, launching one of Africa’s most dramatic travel bans in modern history — and other nations are now watching closely. What used to be one-sided restrictions has flipped overnight. For years, African citizens faced visa bans, sanctions, and humiliating travel barriers imposed by Western governments. Now, Ouagadougou is applying the same logic back — not in anger, but in reciprocity.
We break down what triggered the ban, the diplomatic tensions that led up to it, and why this move is being seen as a symbolic declaration of sovereignty. Why now? Why the U.S.? And could this mark the start of Africa rewriting the rules of global mobility?
