Faulty documentation is the issue and not the threat of a visa overstay. Otherwise the senior team would have been denied visas. Quite embarrassing for the Ethiopians really.
We don’t know the reason.
It could be what you are saying. It does seem odds that Kenyan and Ugandans, etc had no problems.
That being said, the juniors don’t also have a track record. When Jonathan talked to them, he was sort of under the impression that those with past visas and a past documentation of travel were all granted visas.
When we talked about this on the podcast, Weldon and Jonathan refused to let me agree with the guy who advocated for some sort of technological solution. I don’t think it’s inhumane to let people we are unsure of where an electronic device.
Personally, I’d have no problem doing something like that. IN fact, when we went to Japan, we had to download a special Covid app that tracked us all the time. We also had to get tested all the time.
Did I view it as some huge injustice? No. I was happy they let me in. Way better than not getting to go at all.
