  • MIL-OSI Africa: Cameroon: United States (U.S.) Embassy in Yaoundé Announces Changes to Visa Procedures and Fees

    Source: APO


    .

    Effective immediately, and in keeping with the U.S. Government’s global efforts to tighten U.S. immigration requirements, the U.S. Embassy Yaoundé is revising its visa procedures, as well as the validity periods and issuance fees for most visa classifications. Cameroonian citizens who successfully apply for a tourist, business, exchange, or student visa are now issued a single-entry, three-month validity visa, with a significantly reduced issuance fee of $35 or its equivalent in FCFA (down from $215) to be paid if the visa is approved. Temporary work visas now also have a single-entry, three-month validity, with a reduced issuance fee of $45.

    A U.S. visa permits the visa holder to travel to the United States up until the visa’s expiration date. The traveler’s authorized duration of stay in the United States is distinct from the visa validity and is determined by U.S. Customs and Border Patrol (that is, the U.S. immigration authorities travelers encounter upon arrival at port of entry).

    In addition, the Embassy is suspending indefinitely the nonimmigrant visa interview waiver program that allowed some visa applicants who had had prior visas to apply without coming into the Embassy for an interview. Henceforth, all nonimmigrant visa applicants applying in Cameroon are now required to appear for an in-person interview at the U.S. Embassy in Yaoundé.

    The Embassy remains committed to facilitating legitimate travel to the United States while maintaining the integrity of its visa adjudication and issuance process. We strongly encourage all applicants to visit the Embassy’s website at https://cm.usembassy.gov/ for detailed procedural information and to schedule a visa interview accordingly. Applicants should also carefully review the legally-established visa eligibility criteria prior to paying for an appointment to try to assess objectively whether they are likely to qualify for the desired visa under U.S. law. Doing an objective self-assessment against the legal criteria will save applicants time, effort, and money on a visa application that is likely to be denied.

  • MIL-OSI USA: Salazar and Meng Introduce Resolution Recognizing the Role of the U.S. in Ending Sexual Violence in Conflict

    Source: United States House of Representatives – Congresswoman María Elvira Salazar’s (FL-27)

    span>WASHINGTON, DC – Following the International Day for the Elimination of Sexual Violence in Conflict on June 19th, U.S. Reps. Maria Salazar (FL-27) and Grace Meng (NY-06), introduced a bipartisan resolution in the House of Representatives reaffirming the role of the United States in eliminating sexual violence in conflict. 

    Throughout history, sexual violence has been used as a weapon of war. In 2023, women and girls accounted for 95% of the reported cases of conflict-related sexual violence, enduring rape, sexual slavery, forced prostitution, forced pregnancy, forced abortion, enforced sterilization, and forced marriage. Sexual violence is considered a war crime, a crime against humanity, and an act of genocide and torture under international law. Despite this, it continues around the world with little accountability for its perpetrators.

    The resolution aims to underscore the need for the United States to continue to play a leading role in addressing conflict-related sexual violence and strengthening legal reforms and justice for all survivors of conflict-related sexual violence. It also seeks to recognize the need for all peace agreements to address conflict-related sexual violence and calls on the United States to ensure mechanisms to hold perpetrators of sexual violence accountable are included in peacebuilding resolutions. The resolution further emphasizes the importance of women’s meaningful participation in peace processes, as outlined in the Women, Peace, and Security Act of 2017. Additionally, the resolution would uplift and recognize the survivors of conflict-related sexual violence, and those working to support them, to ensure they are not forgotten.

    “Rape should never be a weapon of war. It is an act of evil, used by tyrants and terrorists to break the human spirit,” said Congresswoman Salazar. As the world’s leading democracy, the United States will stand with the survivors, punish the perpetrators, and demand justice. I’m proud to join Congresswoman Meng in this bipartisan effort to make clear that we will defend human dignity, and sexual violence in conflict will not be ignored, excused, or forgotten.”

    “Conflict-related sexual violence is an unspeakable crime that women and children worldwide continue to endure,” said Congresswoman Meng. “We have tools and resources to eradicate this violence and hold perpetrators accountable and now is the time to take action. This resolution affirms the important and leading role the United States plays in addressing conflict-related sexual violence, namely through our efforts to promote women’s participation in economic, civic, and security decision-making and peace processes. Eliminating sexual violence in conflict should never be a partisan issue and I will continue working with my colleagues across the aisle to find commonsense solutions to end this crisis.

    In 2023, there were 3,688 confirmed cases of sexual violence linked to conflict—a 50% rise from previous years. However, the real number is likely higher because many victims don’t report these crimes due to social stigma, limited support, and lack of accountability for offenders.

    “At World Vision, we commend the recent introduction of this resolution, which highlights the need to prevent conflict-related sexual violence, hold perpetrators accountable, and provide adequate resources and health care to survivors,” said Margaret Schuler, Senior Vice President and Chief Impact Officer at World Vision US. “In conflict areas such as Sudan, millions of women are at risk of becoming victims of physical or sexual violence. This resolution moves us one step closer to ending sexual violence in conflict zones and toward ensuring that all women and girls are protected and empowered, no matter where they live.”

    “Too often, sexual violence is used as a weapon of war to repress or terrorize civilians, and women and girls often pay the biggest price.” said Melanie Nezer, Vice President of Advocacy and External Relations at the Women’s Refugee Commission. “Women in conflict zones live in fear of sexual assault, yet are rarely able to access the protection, healthcare, or justice they deserve. Nobody should have to live this way. The Women’s Refugee Commission is grateful to Representative Meng and Representative Salazar for their bipartisan leadership on this issue of basic human rights. We urge all members of Congress to support the Resolution Affirming the Role of the US in Ending Sexual Violence in Conflict, and take a stand for the dignity, safety, and futures of women and girls and all who are at risk of conflict related sexual violence.” 

    Every year on June 19th, the international community marks the International Day for the Elimination of Sexual Violence in Conflict to raise global awareness of the urgent need to end conflict-related sexual violence, to honor the victims and survivors, and to pay tribute to all those who have devoted their lives to standing up for the eradication of these crimes.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: The bill on regulating the platform economy was adopted by the State Duma in the first reading

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

    Source: Ministry of Economic Development (Russia) – Ministry of Economic Development (Russia) –

    An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

    The State Duma deputies adopted the draft federal law “On Certain Issues of Regulating the Platform Economy in the Russian Federation” in the first reading, as well as a package of amendments to industry legislation required in connection with the new regulation. These measures are designed to ensure transparency and stability of the market, protect the interests of consumers and entrepreneurs, and create conditions for the further growth of the platform economy.

    The new regulation was developed on the instructions of the Chairman of the Government of the Russian Federation Mikhail Mishustin and under the supervision of the Deputy Chairman and Chief of Staff of the Government of the Russian Federation Dmitry Grigorenko.

    “The President has instructed to speed up the adoption of the law on the platform economy, and together with the deputies we have already begun to implement this task. Last week we submitted an initiative to the State Duma, and today the draft law was adopted in the first reading. Such efficiency proves that we and the deputies see the goal of regulation in the same way. This is the protection of the rights and interests of our citizens: buyers, sellers, owners of order pick-up points and, in general, all participants in the platform economy,” commented Deputy Prime Minister – Chief of Staff of the Government of Russia Dmitry Grigorenko.

    The main focus of the developed regulation is on intermediary digital platforms that combine information about goods and services, allow transactions and payments, noted Maxim Reshetnikov, Minister of Economic Development of Russia, in a report to the lower house of parliament. A unified conceptual apparatus is also introduced, the rights and obligations of platform operators, sellers, buyers and service providers are clearly defined.

    “Over the past four years, online sales have quadrupled, and their share in retail trade has reached 15%. About 80% of Internet users access platforms every month – 6 billion orders were placed in 2024. Business is actively moving online: today, more than a million sellers work on platforms, and 80% of them are representatives of small and medium businesses,” Maxim Reshetnikov emphasized.

    The new regulation will increase trust in the platform economy. Every day, more than half of the country’s population becomes buyers, sellers, and orders various services through platforms – from grocery delivery to taxi rides, the minister emphasized.

    A number of measures are aimed at increasing the responsibility of platforms to buyers. Now operators are required to check data on sellers through the public services portal and official registers. Product cards without safety confirmation (labeling, certification or declaration of conformity) will not be published. Additionally, requirements for the storage of goods are established, including compliance with sanitary standards.

    Agreements between operators and sellers must include clear grounds for sanctions, changes in the position of the product card in search results, the procedure for changing prices and calculating the operator’s remuneration for providing services. Platform operators, in turn, are required to notify partners of changes in essential conditions at least 45 days in advance. Fines and blocking are possible only after a reasonable notice of three days. The use of discounts at the expense of the seller is allowed only with his consent, which can be revoked at any time. Also, platforms are required to provide reconciliation statements of mutual settlements upon request within seven days and update them monthly.

    “Such detailing will make it easier for businesses to defend their rights. Moreover, it will be possible to resolve disputes with platforms not only through the courts, but also out of court. For this purpose, a special system will become mandatory on platforms, through which a compromise can be found with the operator,” Maxim Reshetnikov emphasized, adding that initiatives of State Duma deputies, as well as proposals from businesses, industry associations and experts, were taken into account when developing the bills. This made it possible to create a balanced regulatory system that will contribute to the sustainable development of the platform economy.

    Digital platforms are a fast-growing segment of the economy, and its regulation requires a serious, balanced approach, says Denis Kravchenko, First Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Committee on Economic Policy.

    “Today, the State Duma supported the bill on the platform economy in the first reading. We have been working on this bill together with the government for over a year. During its preparation, the text of the law underwent significant changes taking into account the position of market players, the expert community and deputies. Yesterday, the bill was unanimously supported by deputies of the Committee on Economic Policy. Today, during the discussion, consolidated support was also born. This is very important for us. This is a new sector of the economy, which will be defined in the near future. It is growing rapidly, so it requires serious legislative regulation. We will finalize the text for the second reading,” Denis Kravchenko commented.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Dmitry Patrushev: 3 billion rubles will be allocated for the implementation of the national project “Ecological Well-being” in Kuzbass by 2030

    An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

    During a working visit to Kemerovo Oblast, Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Patrushev met with the head of the region, Ilya Seredyuk, and visited a number of large industrial enterprises in Kemerovo and Novokuznetsk. At the meeting, the parties discussed the socio-economic development of the region, the performance indicators of the agro-industrial complex, and the implementation of the activities of the national project “Environmental Well-Being”.

    Dmitry Patrushev noted that the Kemerovo Region is among the leaders of the Siberian Federal District in terms of gross regional product. The main contribution is made by the extractive industry. The region strives to create favorable conditions for economic development. According to the Deputy Prime Minister, an important mechanism for socio-economic development is the implementation of the relevant Strategies for the socio-economic development of the Siberian Federal District (SFD) until 2035, approved by the Russian Government, which in the long term will create more than 20 thousand jobs.

    “Speaking about agriculture, I would like to note that Kuzbass is a major producer of grain and oilseed crops in Siberia. We expect that the unfavorable weather that accompanies field work will not seriously affect the final harvest. As for environmental activities, Kuzbass is participating in the relevant national project. The Government has allocated more than 3 billion rubles for this until 2030. The funds will be allocated, among other things, for reforestation, reducing harmful emissions into the atmosphere in Kemerovo and Novokuznetsk, developing a waste management system and improving the health of water bodies. We expect high-quality implementation of all planned projects,” said Dmitry Patrushev.

    During his trip to Kemerovo, the Deputy Prime Minister visited the mineral fertilizer plant of KAO Azot. The company ranks fifth in Russia in terms of nitrogen fertilizer production. At the same time, much attention is paid to the implementation of environmental protection measures. Dmitry Patrushev inspected the liquid carbon dioxide production workshop, the selective cleaning construction site, and the engineering and design center.

    “Russia is one of the world’s largest producers of mineral fertilizers and is a leader in their export. Without fertilizers, it is impossible to talk about a systematic increase in crop yields. Therefore, the Government is taking measures that have allowed a significant increase in fertilizer supplies to the domestic market in recent years. Your plant is one of the country’s leaders in the production of nitrogen fertilizers,” he noted.

    In addition, the Deputy Prime Minister familiarized himself with the history of the development of the coal industry in the Kemerovo Region in the historical and architectural museum-reserve “Krasnaya Gorka”. The coal industry has historically played a key role in the economy of Kuzbass; in the Kemerovo Region, the industry provides jobs for about 100 thousand people. The museum was founded at the site of the discovery of the Kuznetsk coal basin and preserves evidence of the formation of the industrial center of Siberia.

    Dmitry Patrushev also visited the largest industrial enterprises of Novokuznetsk and got acquainted with the progress of environmental projects aimed at reducing the negative impact on the environment within the framework of the federal project “Clean Air”. Thus, the Deputy Prime Minister got acquainted with the progress of construction of the sulfur gas purification unit of the Evraz metallurgical plant. The modern powerful unit will ensure a high degree of purification of flue gases from sulfur dioxide and reduce its emission into the atmosphere by 70%. The commissioning of the complex is expected in 2026.

    In addition, Dmitry Patrushev inspected the dry gas cleaning facility under construction at the Kuznetsk Ferroalloys plant. The enterprise is the country’s largest producer of ferrosilicon – an alloy of silicon and iron used in ferrous metallurgy, mechanical engineering and the chemical industry. The best available technology for environmentally friendly modernization of production is the installation of dry gas cleaning complexes for ferroalloy furnaces. Currently, emissions of pollutants into the city’s atmosphere have been reduced by 30% from the 2017 level.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Ministry of Economic Development: monitoring the quality of public services covers all services in the country.

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

    An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

    The Ministry of Economic Development of the Russian Federation has approved a new regulation on the Information and Analytical System for Monitoring the Quality of Public Services (IAS MKGU). The key innovation of the document was a significant expansion of the system’s functionality. Now, not only are citizen reviews on the quality of state and municipal services collected and processed, but they are also analyzed using the BI analytical module. This allows for continuous monitoring of service quality in automatic mode, analyzing objective data from information systems regardless of the form in which they are provided.

    The monitoring tracks the life cycle of the provision of services and electronic services. Monitoring is carried out on more than 20 indicators: refusals, delays, technical errors, level of complaints, assessment, level of satisfaction, feedback conversion and others. Based on the results, ratings of services, departments and subjects of the Russian Federation are formed. Last year, modern public opinion research tools were integrated into the system, including monitoring of social networks, a service for sending notifications and collecting feedback from applicants via the VK social network was launched.

    Currently, 57 subjects of the Russian Federation are connected to the system. More than 5.3 million notifications were delivered to citizens, of which more than 1.17 million contained a feedback collection questionnaire. By May 2025, the conversion rate of feedback collection in VK through the Vashkontrol service was 82.1%.

    “All these changes will allow us to promptly identify problem areas in the provision of public services and respond to them promptly, which will ultimately increase citizens’ satisfaction with the work of government agencies. The updated IAS MKGU has become another step in the digital transformation of public administration on the way to increasing the efficiency of interaction between the authorities and society,” said State Secretary – Deputy Minister of Economic Development of Russia Alexey Khersontsev.

    IAS MKGU was created in 2012 to collect feedback and calculate the level of citizen satisfaction with the quality of services. Initially, the system was limited to monitoring 63 of the most popular services, but now all services and electronic services in the country will be covered.

    Currently, representatives of ministries and departments of federal and regional government levels and MFCs are registering to gain access to personal accounts of the IAS MKGU, where they will be able to monitor the quality of their services in real time, receive information on deviations from target values and recommendations for eliminating deficiencies identified during monitoring.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: The Ministry of Economic Development and the leadership of the Omsk region discussed the development of the territory of the SEZ “Avangard”

    An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

    Deputy Minister of Economic Development of the Russian Federation Svyatoslav Sorokin held a meeting on the development of the territory of the special economic zone (SEZ) “Avangard” during a working visit to Omsk Oblast.

    To date, 11 residents have registered in the SEZ, who have already invested 5.7 billion rubles and created 108 jobs.

    The plans for the development of the SEZ include the placement of new investment projects. The key project will be the construction of a tire plant of JSC Avangard (part of the Ural Mining and Metallurgical Company, UMMC). The total investment in the project will amount to 41.5 billion rubles. The start of production is scheduled for the first quarter of 2028. The enterprise will produce up to 10.5 thousand extra-large tires per year – for quarry equipment, dump trucks and heavy machines operating in the mining industry. Each such tire is designed for a load of over 20 tons. The products are oriented, among other things, to the needs of Kuzbass and the Far East. About half of the volume will be consumed within UMMC’s own contour, which ensures guaranteed demand.

    It was noted at the meeting that in order to continue working to attract investment to the SEZ territory, it is necessary to carry out measures to develop water supply and sanitation networks, the estimated cost of which is 3.044 billion rubles. The possibility of financing was announced by Svyatoslav Sorokin through the mechanism of providing the region with a treasury infrastructure loan. Following the meeting, the Government of Omsk Region sent a corresponding application to the Ministry of Economic Development of Russia.

    “Development of the territory of the SEZ “Avangard” opens up opportunities for the placement of new high-tech production facilities. The company’s tire plant project is a large-scale investment initiative with an import-substituting effect and a significant contribution to the regional budget. Such projects form a new industrial profile of the Omsk Region,” said Deputy Minister of Economic Development of Russia Svyatoslav Sorokin.

    SEZ “Avangard” was created in December 2020 on the territory of Omsk. The total area is 165 hectares, of which 116 are intended for the placement of residents, 73% have already been leased or owned.

    Vitaly Savelyev at a meeting on the development of checkpoints across the state border.

    At a meeting on the development of checkpoints across the state border of the Russian Federation, the results of the movement of goods and freight vehicles on the main sections of the border were summed up.

    The positive dynamics of freight vehicle traffic through automobile checkpoints is sustainable. Thus, the number of freight vehicles that passed through automobile checkpoints located on priority sections of the state border has increased by almost 70% over the past seven years and reached more than 6.5 million units in 2024.

    At checkpoints on the Russian-Chinese section of the state border, the growth was almost 130% (from 229 thousand to 523 thousand units). In turn, the volume of transported goods increased by 34% and reached 46 million tons by the end of 2024.

    High dynamics are also maintained in the movement of freight vehicles at checkpoints on the Russian-Mongolian section: 65% of the 2018 level, an increase from 34 thousand units in 2018 to 56 thousand units in 2024.

    High rates are also observed on the Russian-Azerbaijani, Russian-Kazakh, and Russian-Georgian sections of the state border.

    As part of the implementation of the order of the President of Russia to reduce the inspection time of freight vehicles to 10 minutes, the implementation of a pilot project at the Tagirkent-Kazmalyar automobile checkpoint on the Russian-Azerbaijani border continues. Thanks to the elimination of paperwork, the introduction of an intelligent checkpoint system and equipping the site with modern portal inspection and screening systems, the inspection time in test mode was just over 9 minutes.

    By 2030, the implemented solutions will be scaled up to 55 priority checkpoints.

    In implementing the plans of the “road map” for the introduction of smart checkpoints, the Russian Government is working closely with state control bodies: the Border Service of the FSB of Russia, the Federal Customs Service of Russia, Rosselkhoznadzor, and Rospotrebnadzor.
