South Africa Rejects Trump Administration's Claim of Humanitarian Emergency for White Afrikaners

The South African government and advocacy groups for the country's Afrikaner white minority rejected on Wednesday the Trump administration’s position that there's a humanitarian emergency affecting white people in South Africa. The argument served as the administration's rationale for raising the US refugee cap, but only for white Afrikaners. [...] Bryony Fox, a social justice researcher at South Africa's Stellenbosch University, criticized the move, stating it risks politicising refugee protection.
