Switzerland – EU sanctions: Nathalie Yamb recounts her “civil death”

Nathalie Yamb, a 57-year-old Swiss-Cameroonian pan-African activist born in La Chaux-de-Fonds and living in Zug, has been among the few Swiss nationals on an EU sanctions list since June 26, 2025. On October 9, 2026, Brussels renewed the measures for one year under its regime targeting “destabilizing activities carried out by Russia,” adopted in October 2024. The EU Council cites her speech at the 2019 Russia-Africa summit in Sochi and her role as a special adviser to Niger’s president, Abdourahamane. Yamb denounces the sanctions’ human and financial consequences, while Switzerland does not implement them.

He said a lack of coordinated military pressure allows ADF fighters to move between territories.
