US travel ban heralds "turbulent times" for Africa - AU chair

The head of the 54-member African Union said on Monday that a US travel ban on seven Muslim-majority countries including three in Africa heralded "turbulent times" for the continent.

AU commission chief Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma made the remarks in a speech to open an AU summit, after US President Donald Trump's executive order halted travel by people with passports from Libya, Somalia, Sudan and four other Middle East nations for 90 days, and stopped refugee resettlement for 120 days.
