1/ Quick reality check on the Omar Artan story before the outrage cycle sets the facts.
A US visa is not an entry pass. It authorizes you to travel to a port of entry and request admission. The admissibility decision happens on arrival, by CBP. This is not new and not Trump-specific.
2/ Somalia is on the current travel restriction list. You can think that list is too broad (reasonable debate). But the list exists. The question is whether it gets applied evenly or only to people without connections.
3/ Artan reportedly traveled on a diplomatic passport arranged through an embassy precisely because of those restrictions. A diplomatic passport does not bind the US. The receiving country has to recognize the status. It is not a skeleton key around immigration law.
4/ The loudest framing is that turning away a famous, credentialed FIFA official is the injustice. Flip it. If the rule bends for celebrities and FIFA VIPs but holds for ordinary Somali travelers, that is the unequal outcome. Even application is the fairer principle.
5/ And notice what nobody actually has: the reason. CBP does not disclose the basis for individual denials. The only on-record voices here are Somali football officials, who only know their side. Assuming bad faith from a process built to be confidential is a leap.
6/ None of this means the denial was definitely correct. It might not have been. But a country deciding who enters its borders, under a published policy applied without exception, is not the scandal it is being sold as.
@PDXFato@lammo_21@daddyhope@FIFAWorldCup We all familiar with US fall and persecution of Somalia, from Ihan Omar criticism of DJT, which triggered several onslaughts including the Minnesota day care raids. Omar Artan went through FIFA screening for that job - he is clean.
Very humble when skin tone changes.This shows black people of South Africa are not ready to take over the economy but only want to work for capitalists.

They told us they got 300,000 written submissions for the Constitutional Amendment No. 3 process, but now their tally is 540,037. This is clear fraud, as the hearings were.
Why would Parliament not involve auditors to verify this process and ensure integrity, especially when MPs have a conflict of interest and a vested interest in having their terms extended and the $50 000 bribe?
1. You are not going to silence me from criticizing CAB3 and examining the architects who want to use it to catapult themselves into public office, by saying I am bitter because:
2. Kuda and Junior were the ones who looked for me after being tasked by the President to get me to fight sanctions, fix Kudaβs damaged image, pay for legal bills to fight SA banks that were implementing sanctions, and compensate me for work done.
3. I did my job, removed sanctions, but he did not complete paying the legal bills and he did not compensate me. So Kuda owes me for the expertise that the President sent him to seek me out for. Demanding such money is not being bitter; it is demanding payment for work done to avoid prescription of the debt, because debt can expire in 3 years if you donβt demand it.
4. If all I was good at is speaking English, why would the President need to send his son, Kuda, the CIO, and his ambassador to look for me to do a job they paid over $4.5 million to lobbyists who failed, yet he could have used you or anyone else?
5. There is nothing you have done in your life that beats me removing sanctions by getting the UN to come and measure the impact of sanctions, us using that report of the UN to go to court against the U.S. President and getting him (the most powerful man in the world) to respond to our papers in South African courts, which convinced the South African government to champion the fight against US sanctions on Zim, and then getting Congress to contact me and accept to do an impact assessment that I asked them to do, which led them (the same body that asked for sanctions through ZDERA) to write a report asking Biden to remove sanctions, and sanctions were removed.
6. You, Kuda, intelligence, and government officials were not smart enough to do that, but I did it with such simplicity, hence you take it for granted. In other countries I would have been paid millions and then a yearly royalty till my death, because removing sanctions saves millions of lives and brings in hundreds of billions, hence the economy immediately jumped from $28 billion to $53 billion after the removal of sanctions. Saka Usanyombe!
7. What I achieved is something the President looked for me specifically to do, and I did it successfully. You and no one in Zimbabwe or anywhere in the world has ever achieved that. So donβt tell me about you having more money than me just because you are a criminal who is willing to smuggle gold, launder money, and engage in other organized crimes while iI work for my money legitimately. Anyone can do what you do, hence everyone canβt understand why you. But some of us understand the occult and satanic things that take place in the background that make you get money while us who do the real work get nothing.
8. On 13 October 2025, Kuda called me to ask me why I was silent about Gezaβs protest when he was pushing for his last protest. I told him I was not interested in fighting Geza anymore, and he persuaded me to come and get money and a Land Cruiser. He didnβt deliver despite the dangers I faced in fighting Gezaβs sentiments. I left him like that since and never spoke about it.
9. Then in March I said I did not support CAB3. Kuda sent death threats through a mutual business friend and began to get people to attack me ON SOCIAL MEDIA, claiming that I was extorting him. He started the fight on social media, not me. He also got them to say I was a CIA agent and bitter that I was not paid $1 million for supporting CAB3.
10. This left me with no choice but to defend my integrity, something you know nothing about. So I have merely responded to his false allegations and exposed the nature of our relationship.
11. Since then, people from his office and strangers have phoned me asking for a ceasefire.
So Kuda/the President owe me for work that they commissioned me to do. How is it bitterness when I simply reciprocate? How am I trying to negotiate on social media when he started the war on social media?
