Chad Suspends U.S. Visas After Trump Revives Travel Ban on 12 Countries
Chad's President Mahamat Idriss Déby announced on Thursday that his government will suspend the issuance of visas to U.S. citizens. The decision comes a day after U.S. President Donald Trump reintroduced a travel ban targeting 12 countries, including Chad, citing national security concerns. President Trump's policy—which echoes a controversial hallmark of his first term—targets countries he claims have 'deficient' screening and vetting procedures or have historically failed to repatriate their citizens who overstay U.S. visas. The list includes Afghanistan, Myanmar, Chad, the Republic of Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and Yemen. Additional travel restrictions will be imposed on visitors from seven other nations. Chad's President, in a strongly worded statement posted on Facebook, declared the suspension of U.S. visa processing in Chad, framing it as an issue of national dignity and sovereignty. 'Chad has no planes to offer, no billions of dollars to give—but Chad has his dignity and pride,' Déby wrote, making a pointed reference to a $400 million luxury aircraft gifted by Qatar to his administration. The announcement has added to a wave of criticism from African nations affected by the ban. In the Republic of Congo, government spokesperson Thierry Moungalla called the U.S. decision a 'mistake,' attributing it to a misunderstanding involving an armed attack in the United States. He asserted that Congo is neither a terrorist hub nor associated with any extremist activities, and expects diplomatic clarification soon. Sierra Leone, which faces heightened travel restrictions rather than a full ban, also responded diplomatically. Information Minister Chernor Bah affirmed the country's commitment to working with U.S. authorities to address concerns and ensure progress on bilateral relations. The renewed travel ban is expected to take effect Monday at 12:01 a.m. Washington time. Analysts predict this move will further strain U.S. relations with several African and Middle Eastern nations, especially as they voice concerns about fairness, transparency, and the implications for diplomacy and migration.

"What's Fueling the Future?" Energy Experts Map Out the Region's Next Frontier
TDT | Manama Industry leaders gathered at the Middle East Petroleum and Gas Conference (MPGC 2025), held at the Four Seasons Hotel in Bahrain, to exchange insights on the evolving energy landscape, focusing on the theme 'Navigating the Energy Frontier: A Middle Eastern Perspective.' Opening the discussion, Alexander Van Veldhoven, Group Chief Strategy Officer at Bapco Energies, highlighted the pressing challenges in energy efficiency and infrastructure. 'Energy efficiency is crucial—but the practical concern right now is comparative pricing and land availability,' Van Veldhoven said. 'One solution could be sourcing land in Saudi Arabia to begin interconnection projects.' He also expressed skepticism about labeling gas as a transitional fuel, noting that hydrogen, while promising, becomes prohibitively expensive when it comes to transportation. 'For hydrogen to be viable, we must focus on affordable transport and supporting infrastructure,' he added. Joining the panel was Musaab Al-Mulla, Vice President of Market Analysis & Sustainability at Aramco, who emphasized the strategic importance of energy in economic transitions, particularly in emerging regions. 'Energy is at the heart of economic transformation,' Al-Mulla stated. He pointed to disparities in energy transitions across continents, particularly between India and Africa, as a sign of the complex path ahead. 'Our 2025 target is for renewables to make up 50% of our energy mix,' he revealed. 'By 2030, we plan to further scale up gas usage to meet growing demand.' The discussion reflected the Middle East's critical role in balancing traditional energy exports with ambitious sustainability targets, underscoring the importance of regional cooperation, strategic planning, and investment in technology and infrastructure. MPGC 2025 continues to serve as a key platform for dialogue between policymakers, energy executives, and industry analysts, as the region works toward a more resilient and diversified energy future.

UAE Fines 23 Companies Dh610,000 For Violating Global Tax Reporting Rules
The Financial Services Regulatory Authority (FSRA) of ADGM in Abu Dhabi on Monday announced Dh610,000 fine on 23 companies for violating reporting and tax regulations. The companies have been fined under the Common Reporting Standard Regulations 2017 and/or the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Regulations 2022, which require entities to collect and report information on foreign account holders to help combat international tax evasion. The regulator added that action has been taken for compliance breaches and failures to submit risk assessments, required annual information returns, follow due diligence procedures, report information in a complete and accurate manner, and collect valid self-certification forms. The UAE entered into agreements with other countries for global tax transparency by facilitating the automatic exchange of financial account data between different jurisdictions. In April, FSRA imposed millions of dirhams fines on the Hayvn Group of Companies, its former CEO Christopher Flinos and related entities after an investigation found serious regulatory breaches and misconduct into regulatory breaches and misconduct. Emmanuel Givanakis, CEO of the FSRA at ADGM, said this decision reflects UAE's commitment to financial transparency and alignment with global commitments to information exchange. 'We are committed to identifying and addressing practices that do not meet our commitment to combat tax evasion through implementing robust and effective regulations in line with leading global standards of compliance and reporting responsibility,' said Givanakis. Earlier this month, the Registration Authority (RA) of ADGM joined the Enforcement Working Group (EWG) of the International Forum of Independent Audit Regulators (IFIAR), making it the only member in the group from the Middle Eastern region.
