Criticism of the US for granting entry visas to the Congo national team despite the Ebola outbreak
A wave of criticism has been directed in recent days at the US administration regarding its decision to approve the entry of the Congo national team for the World Cup. According to اخبارفوری خبرفوری جنگ امریکا فوری, which is identified with positions critical of US foreign policy, the administration granted visas to members of the Congolese delegation despite the renewed outbreak of the Ebola virus in the country.
In a separate report on آخرین خبر, citing the New York Times, it is claimed that the US chose to "welcome" the delegation, even as data points to 131 victims due to the Ebola outbreak in eastern Congo, alongside 516 suspected cases and 33 confirmed cases. According to اخبارفوری خبرفوری جنگ امریکا حمله, this step stands in "stark contrast" to the strict visa policy Washington has taken in the past toward national teams such as Iran, Algeria, Senegal, and Ivory Coast.
The reporting channels describe the American move as "death visas," while accusing the organizers and the Biden administration of a double standard. According to the Iranian media outlets involved in covering the issue, this is "unfair" conduct that discriminates against other countries that were previously rejected based on strict bureaucratic or health criteria.
