AGP Executive Report
Last update: 4 hours agoUS Visa Overhaul for Africa: The U.S. will stop routine visa processing at its Abuja embassy and 24 other African posts from August 1, 2026, shifting applicants to designated regional hubs (the hubs include Lagos, Dakar, Accra, Abidjan, Johannesburg, Cape Town, and others). The State Department says the change is meant to tighten security screening, standardize decisions, and cut costs; valid visas won’t be affected and embassies will still handle other consular services. Mauritania Travel Angle: Nouakchott is among the affected locations, so routine visa applicants will need to plan for travel to a regional hub instead. Migration & Travel Safety: A new report highlights the deadly journey of unaccompanied children arriving via Spain’s Canary Islands route, where ocean crossings can take days and one in five migrants dies. Regional Mobility Snapshot: Passport ranking updates show how access varies across the region, with Morocco placed ahead in global mobility lists.
