Watch this video as Firstpost explains how, following a sudden two-month travel ban, Morocco has quietly reopened tourist visa applications for Taiwanese nationals via its Tokyo embassy. However, the dispute is far from over. While tourism travel can now resume, Rabat keeps business and non-tourism visas strictly blocked. In response, Taiwan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs is standing its ground, maintaining its reciprocal counter-ban on Moroccan citizens until all travel restrictions are completely lifted. Beneath this administrative standoff lies a deeper geopolitical struggle. As Beijing leverages its immense economic weight across Africa, Taiwan’s diplomatic presence on the continent continues to shrink—leaving Eswatini as its sole remaining official ally. This report unpacks how a sudden visa freeze, a sharp Taiwanese retaliation, and a partial reversal reflect the intense global power dynamics playing out between Beijing, Washington, and Africa. Alyson Le Grange brings you more on this story on Firstpost Africa.
