As a nation state on its own merits, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) of seven elective mornachies has drawn up a ‘Travel Red List’ of travellers banned from entering the Emirates.
This is on account of the global Covid-19 pandemic that is caused by the mutating coronavirus, and which is still ravaging humanity and economies at the national and international levels.
As of Tuesday, travellers from Kenya and Tanzania were still on the banned list, while those from Angola, Ghana Guinea, Ivory Coast and Uganda virtually next door had just been removed from it.
Again, effective from January 13 this year, the UAE had officially resumed passenger flights to and from five African countries – and, once again, including flights to and from Uganda next door.
Apparently, the reason for banning travellers (from, say Tanzania and Kenya) is basically because travellers from the two countries had in the past tested positive for Covid-19 on UAE soil.
We nonetheless call upon the UAE, as fellow members of the Comity of Nations, to revisit their so-called ‘Covid-19 Red List’ arrangements – and let diplomacy prevail, rather than take the world back to what, for all practical purposes, smacks of the apartheid system of operating.
