Barwe finally gets US visa

Mumbengegwi who protested to the UN Committee on Relations.
Barwe yesterday confirmed the development.

“I am leaving today and will be there on Monday afternoon. This is a repetition of what happened in 2010 and I am disappointed,” he said.
“These are the same people who call themselves beacons of democracy but they deny a mere journalist a visa.”

Barwe was scheduled to travel with President Mugabe’s delegation that left the country last Wednesday night for New York.
Barwe was denied a visa because he is on the US sanctions list. According to the UN Charter all member states and their delegations are supposed to have access without hindrances to the headquarters of any UN organ.

The US embassy has refused to comment why they denied him a visa.

Ironically, some of Government officials on sanctions list were issued with some visas without any problems.
