UN Chief Antonio Guterres Says US Travel Ban Not Best Way To Protect America

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said that the US travel ban imposed on refugees and immigrants from seven Middle East and North African countries is not the way to best protect the US or any other country. Speaking in Addis Ababa, the UN General Secretary said it is very important to review the very dramatic situations the refugees are facing when they have no chance to reach protection. Under the executive order signed by President Donald Trump last Friday, refugees from all over the world will be denied US entry for 120 days while all immigration from so-called “countries with terrorism concerns” will be suspended for 90 days. The countries included in the ban are Iraq, Syria, Iran, Sudan, Libya, Somalia and Yemen.
