    Support for white Afrikaners, anti-communism and others reveals how US redefining what qualifies as human rights

    With hours left before the funding expires, the Trump administration is pushing to direct more than $175m of the state department’s flagship human rights fund to a slate of awards that includes a massive $40m grant for an anti-communism fund, support for a group advancing white Afrikaner rights in South Africa, a campaign against Brazil’s supreme court, and programs that would reward ideological allies in Europe who protect “western civilisational norms”.

    Critics have focused on 43 awards of a combined $176.9m that will bolster rightwing and conservative causes around the world while likely angering US allies over interference in internal politics. The Guardian has seen a sample of the controversial grants, which makes up most of the $205m in funding that Congress has appropriated for the entire human rights and democracy fund (HRDF).

    Nigerian billionaire Aliko Dangote and Kenyan President William Ruto broke ground on Wednesday (September 30) on a planned Sh2 trillion oil refinery aimed at meeting growing demand for petroleum products across East Africa. Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni and Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed were among regional leaders attending the ceremony.

    The project is part of Dangote’s ambition to replicate the success of his 700,000 barrel-per-day refinery in Nigeria, as countries including Kenya and Uganda seek to develop their crude oil resources.

    The Kenyan refinery is slated for completion in 2030 with the aim of lowering the region’s fuel costs and saving hard currency used to import refined products. Dangote has also offered regional governments a combined 30% stake in the refinery.

    The New Native should not become the old Native with a better genealogy.

    That is the danger I keep hearing underneath the question The Elephant has been asking this year. The “New Native” in this series is not a newly discovered ethnic group. It is a political figure emerging from a Kenyan public that has begun to act as though citizenship might mean more than being represented upward by an ethnic kingpin, disciplined by a church, managed by a civil servant, or frightened back into the inherited categories of the colonial state.

    Akal Mohan sees the consolidation of a Kenyan identity beyond old orders of tribe, clan and denomination. Wangui Kimari traces the state’s fear of the “detribalized native”, then and now: the urban African who does not stay where authority says identity belongs. Joe Kobuthi reads the 2024 rupture through theology and the failure of a state that has demanded something close to sacred obedience. Across the series, the New Native becomes legible precisely when older intermediaries stop being able to explain the citizen to himself.
