00:07Earlier this month, the U.S. government required Mali citizens to post visa bonds of up to $10,000

00:14if they want to obtain business or tourist visas to the U.S.

00:20Mali then retaliated with the same measures for U.S. citizens coming to its territory.

00:24The U.S. measure was supposed to take effect on October 23rd,

00:30but when the list of countries required to post visa bonds was published, Mali was not among them.

00:39and for now its visa bond requirement for American citizens remains intact.

00:44The U.S. continues to require visa bonds from citizens of several other African countries,
