Comparing the #Visa #Rejection Rate of #Africans versus the Rest of the World

The number of applications for #Europe’s #Schengen Area #visas has been declining over the years as rejection rates have surged. While restrictive for all applications, the #European visa regime is notably more stringent towards #African visa applicants than those from other regions. Addressing these issues would signal Europe's commitment to actively engage in #business and #strengthen #trade relations between Africa and #Europe.

Africa accounted for seven of the top 10 countries with the highest Schengen visa rejection rates in 2022: #Algeria (45.8%), #Guinea-Bissau (45.2%), #Nigeria (45.1%), #Ghana (43.6%), #Senegal (41.6%), #Guinea (40.6%), and #Mali (39.9%). By contrast, only one in twenty-five applicants residing in the #US, #Canada, or the #UK were rejected, and one in ten from #Russia. As per illustration, #Algerians face a rejection rate that is ten times greater than that of those applying in #Canada, while #Ghanaians are four times more likely to be rejected than #Russians. #Nigerians face almost three times the rejection rate of applicants in #Turkey (15.5) and twice that of #Iranians (23.7)...

I suppose you tag as right wing #Kurdish, #Tibetans, #Scottish, #Quebec and #Iceland people, #Algerians, #Croatians, #Indians, etc. And lefists #Turkey, #China, #Bristish Imperium, etc.

That is, obviously, false

People has the right to rule themselves. And other nations have NOT the right to force them to be ruled by them.

It's an obvious statement.

People could be wrong or not (with Brexit, Scottish referendum, etc.) but people has the right to be wrong. You, as Spanish, have not the right to force Scottish or Catalans where you think. Let them to decide it in a democratic referendum. England, Sweden, Canada, etc. do. Spain, China and Turkey not.

It's not about left or right. It's about nationalism. And Spain, supported by most of Spaniards, practice a nationalism with their violence (police, law...) and, some lefist Spaniards talk about "tags", or good or bad leftists...

I repeat myself, it's not necessary Norvergian or Scottish think they are "better" than their neighboutrs to like the idea of self goverment. The same when you want to divorce of your partner

Segon la teva definició un #andalús de 60 anys que va arribar a #Catalunya / #Alemanya als 20 és #català / #alemany. I, per tant, no és andalús/#espanyol La teva definició exclou aquest cas, i molts altres...

I molts #andalusos de Catalunya o Alemanya no volen renunciar a la seva #identitatNacional ;-)

És més senzill, i gents #feixista, considerar #CIUTADÀ a tothom, hagi nascut, porti molts anys, o 3 mesos. És la meva postura

Però la identitat nacional (#cultural, #ètnica, #religiosa, etc) és una altra cosa I cadascú te la q li dona la gana I el q hem de fer és respectar-la

Però una altra cosa és q ens deixem vendre la moto: a Catalunya hi ha molts #espanyols q no son #catalans Son #ciutadans catalans, i han de tenir els mateixos drets i obligacions q la resta I també hi ha molts veïns #paquistanesos o #magribins, q tampoc volen deixar de ser el q son. I això passa amb els #turcs a Alemanya i els #algerians a #França On és el problema?

Una altra cosa és q els tinguem aquí, odiant o menystenint la nostra #llengua, cultura, etc. Això no és de rebut. I denunciar-ho no és feixisme
