The United States Department of State publishes the selected countries for the DV-2026 Diversity Visa Programme, commonly known as the Diversity Visa “Green Card Lottery.” The reports say the release includes country results for multiple African nations.
Vanguard and Legit.ng both describe the announcement as a finalized list of African countries whose citizens are selected through the programme. One outlet focuses on a West Africa breakdown, highlighting that 16 West African countries are included in the DV-2026 selection results, while other coverage presents a broader set of African countries selected. Another report notes that the Department of State also provides a statistical breakdown related to prospective applicants registered for the programme.
Across the articles, the key common point is that the US is releasing DV-2026 country selection information, identifying which countries’ citizens are eligible to proceed based on the lottery results. The outlets differ mainly in how they frame the scope—either emphasizing West Africa specifically or presenting a wider African list—rather than disputing the underlying release itself.
