The ANC has strongly condemned the United States government's decision to grant refugee status to 49 Afrikaners, calling it a fabrication designed to delegitimize South Africa's democracy.

To further discuss this, Elvis Presslin spoke to Political Analyst Dr. Piet Croucamp

This week, 49 white Afrikaans-speaking South Africans were officially welcomed to the U.S., fast-tracked under so-called "refugee status" promoted by US President, Donald Trump—despite the UN not recognizing them as needing asylum. Critics say this is based on a false narrative of persecution, privileging white migrants while thousands of legitimate asylum seekers are denied entry. The contrast is stark: just days earlier, Trump asked the Supreme Court to revoke protections for half a million immigrants already in the U.S.Lester Kiewit speaks to Bill Frelick, head of the Refugee and Migrant Programme at Human Rights Watch.

International Relations Minister, Ronald Lamola has reaffirmed South Africa's position that a group of white Afrikaners who have gone to the United States, claiming prosecution, does not qualify for refugee status. The group is set to arrive in the US today, following a decision by the administration of President Donald Trump, to grant them refugee status.

A recording of the celebratory launch of 'Judging Refugees: Narrative and Oral Testimony in Refugee Status Determination' held on 20 November 2024. This was a hybrid panel event co-hosted by UNSW's Centre for Criminology, Law & Justice, and the Kaldor Centre for International Refugee Law, in conversation with Dr Anthea Vogl, Dr Tina Dixson, Associate Professor Maria Giannacopoulos and Professor Daniel Ghezelbash. In 'Judging Refugees', Anthea Vogl investigates the black box of the refugee oral hearing and the politics of narrative within individualised processes for refugee status determination (RSD). Drawing on a rich archive of administrative oral hearings in Australia and Canada, Vogl sets global trends of diminished and fast-tracked RSD against the critical role played by the discretionary spaces of refugee decision-making, and the gate-keeping functions of credibility assessment. About the author: Anthea Vogl is an Associate Professor of Law at the University of Technology Sydney (UTS). She teaches and researches in the fields of refugee and migration law, focusing on the social and legal categories of the refugee and non-citizen, executive decision-making, and the criminology of border control. Guest speakers: Dr Tina Dixson (she/her) is an early career academic, advocate, and social policy professional with experience in advancing LGBTIQA+ equality, refugee protection, and responses to gender-based violence. Tina has her own experience of queer displacement, having been forced to leave Ukraine with her partner Dr Renee Dixson due to their LGBTIQA+ activism. Dr Maria Giannacopoulos (she/her) is Associate Professor and Director of the Centre for Criminology Law and Justice at UNSW Sydney. She holds a BA(Hons) LLB (Hons) and a PhD in Cultural Studies and is a leading scholar in decolonising approaches to law and criminology. Dr Daniel Ghezelbash (he/him) is Professor of Law and the Director of the Kaldor Centre for International Refugee Law at UNSW Sydney, and an Australian Research Council (ARC) DECRA Fellow. www.unsw.edu.au/kaldor-centre

Civil organisation, AfriForum, says inspite of the organisation's opposition to recent developments in the country's political landscape, Afrikaaners continue to see themselves as indigenous to South Africa. The organisation tried to engage with the presidency on a number of these issues, including the Expropriation Act, but received to correspondence from government. The organisation says it was at this point, that it felt compelled to involve the United States of America. SABC News Politics Editor, Mzwandile Mbeje, sat down with Afriforum's Kallie Kriel and began by asking him what the organisation's concerns are with the Act...

It might seem like a tempting offer, claiming refugee status in the United States of America, if you can prove to authorities there that you are Afrikaner who has been subjected to “government-sponsored race-based discrimination, including racially discriminatory property confiscation”.

"It is very difficult, and perhaps entirely impossible, to combat the effects of brain-washing by argument" -Paul Feyerabend   Rough times seem to be a head for Endurrin as ntownship after township is falling to the horde of zombies. Sure, work has been done to eliminate the threat but the humanitarian aid has to be addressed as a final battle between the slumbering worm and its unsaitable search for the gateway to his goals.   Will the wisest of us find the correct solution to an age old mystery? Which strange allies will we message with correct intent and which of us will be at a loss of words in this episode 58 of Dungeonetics.   Again thanks everyone for listening or even being curious. Storytelling is an important part of mental health as it allows oneself the freedom to imagine as play. Play is essential in life. Luckily a collective narrative story creates a  vibrant theater for play and an earlier fundamental understanding of others and onesself.   Thanks again to Kellen for his big riffs intro, Games Brown for their still wind, and Virus Of Ideals for their Earthy days. I love and respect you all. Again shout out to Reel Doofs and freesounds.org.   Catch you next time and keep alert. 

In this clip of the Warsaw Confidential Podcast, Polish journalist Karolina Pajaczkowska and host Kamal Jahid discuss the changing Polish attitudes towards Ukrainian refugees. While Poland initially welcomed Ukrainians with open arms, Karolina explains how the presence of wealthy Ukrainians, the economic impact of the refugee influx, and the influence of media and propaganda have all contributed to a shift in public opinion. This honest and insightful conversation provides a nuanced look at the complex situation of Ukrainian refugees in Poland. ☕️ Watch this conversation in full here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aCRIB9Oj1vQ

Episode 155: When Not to Claim Refugee Status in Canada Episode Summary In this installment of the Canadian Immigration Podcast, host Mark Holthe is joined by co-host Alicia Backman-Beharry to tackle one of the most pressing issues facing temporary residents in Canada—understanding when not to file a refugee claim. As desperation grows for individuals facing expiring work permits and diminishing options, many turn to refugee claims without fully comprehending the eligibility requirements, legal implications, or long-term consequences. Mark and Alicia break down the refugee claim process, who qualifies, and why a poorly founded claim could jeopardize not only your future in Canada but also your global immigration opportunities. This episode aims to educate listeners on the risks and complexities involved, empowering them to make informed decisions. Key Topics Discussed Understanding Eligibility for Refugee Claims Who is eligible under Canada's refugee system, and who is not? Overview of the Safe Third Country Agreement and its impact on claimants. Legal tests for refugee protection, including "well-founded fear" and nexus to protected grounds. Grounds for ineligibility, such as prior claims or serious criminality. Consequences of Filing a Refugee Claim How making a claim affects your legal status, including issuance of a stayed removal order. Why work permits issued to refugee claimants do not confer temporary resident status. Limitations on economic immigration pathways like Express Entry and Provincial Nominee Programs. The risks of making fraudulent claims, including removal orders and bans from re-entering Canada. Critical Considerations for Refugee Applicants The importance of credibility and evidence in proving persecution. Why significant delays in filing claims can undermine your case. What happens if your refugee claim is refused, including potential removal and the impact on future immigration opportunities. Social Implications How unfounded claims burden Canada's refugee system, delaying protection for those in genuine need. The importance of consulting authorized and experienced legal representatives to avoid misinformation. Key Takeaways Eligibility and Consequences: Filing a refugee claim is a serious decision with far-reaching implications; understand your eligibility before proceeding. Economic Pathways: Refugee work permits do not count towards Canadian work experience for economic immigration programs. Credibility Matters: Fabricating claims or delaying action can lead to irreversible consequences, including deportation and bans from Canada. Seek Professional Advice: Always consult a knowledgeable immigration lawyer to assess your situation accurately.

Quotes from the Episode Mark Holthe: "Filing a refugee claim might seem like a quick fix, but it could close more doors than it opens—both in Canada and globally." Alicia Backman-Beharry: "The presumption that states can protect their citizens is a high bar to overcome; you must provide clear and convincing evidence to succeed."

Climate change is poised to worsen the refugee crisis badly as people flee floods and fires, as life becomes untenable in places with prolonged droughts, and rising seas swallow low-lying islands. The suffering of vulnerable people has not always received much attention from the environmental community.  Instead, there's a disturbing history of people being displaced in creating parks and protected areas. As we seek a future in which people and nature coexist harmoniously, today we'll delve into the refugee crisis and the systems we have in place to resettle refugees from someone who has experienced these firsthand.  A key theme in today's conversation—this season's last episode—is community. Understanding the community in the refugee system will help us welcome refugees warmly and without backlash. It also offers insights into how we might build a community to effect the system change necessary to combat the climate and ecological crisis. If you want to support the refugee community in BC, donate or volunteer at mosaicbc.org or other local refugee organizations.

As you know, U.S. immigration law is designed with faculties in place to protect families of all nationalities inside and even outside our borders.

Some immigrants are applying for refugee status because they've tested positive for HIV in New Zealand and are worried the government will kick them out. Immigration rules mean people with HIV applying for visas will be assessed on a case by case basis, with all visa applicants requiring a medical check. This rule was introduced in October 2021 but before that there was a blanket ban because people with HIV were seen as being likely to impose significant costs or demands on health services. Jake McKee reports.

In this podcast, Guy S Goodwin-Gill and Emma Dunlop discuss the practice of refugee law today, in a discussion with Arif Hussein of the Refugee Advice and Casework Service (RACS). How is refugee status determined around the world amid changing social pressures? What are the trends in protection in different jurisdictions? What legal questions arise when restrictive policies mean that access to asylum is blocked, rights are curtailed, and people cannot access fair status determination procedures?

Immigration lawyer Alastair McClymont says moves to deport Ahamed Samsudeen could well have given him new grounds to claim refugee status. McClymont said if he was to be sent back to Sri Lanka, the authorities there would be told and that would open up the possibility for arrest and interrogation. Samsudeen was behind an attack at Countdown New Lynn on Friday, where he took a knife from the shelf and started stabbing people nearby. Seven people were injured and Samsudeen was fatally shot by police. McClymont said even if the terrorist's refugee status had been revoked due to fraudulent claims, it would not have brought an end to his presence here. 

Over the course of two weeks in August, 95 Afghan nationals reached out to the Moscow-based charity Civic Assistance Committee for help. They had all come to Russia before the Taliban seized power in Afghanistan; most came to study or to work. Now, they're seeking asylum, but this is no easy feat. Indeed, as of January 1, 2020, only 455 people in Russia were in possession of refugee status. For years and sometimes decades, tens of thousands of people have tried to seek asylum in Russia - usually in vain. Just last month, authorities in the Leningrad region expelled an Afghan girl and her family from the country; they had fled to Russia after the Taliban tried to force the 12-year-old child to marry. To find out more about the challenges Afghan asylum seekers face in Russia, Meduza spoke to "refugees sur place," an Afghan woman who fled to Moscow in 1997, and students who are now afraid to return to their homeland. Here are their stories. Original Article: https://meduza.io/en/feature/2021/08/27/returning-home-means-death

The United States has announced a program that will allow thousands more Afghans who may be targets of Taliban violence due to their affiliations with America to resettle as refugees.

Hassan Al Kontar was living in Dubai when civil war broke out in his home country of Syria. Unwilling to fight his own people and unable to stay in the United Arab Emirates, he eventually found himself trapped in a Malaysian airport, where he stayed for more than seven months. He survived on the kindness of strangers. And using the power of social media, he attracted attention and support and eventually found refuge in Canada. In his new book, and in this conversation, Al Kontar shares the lessons of his journey: how giving up is a result, not an option; the difference between survivors and fighters; why we don't own our destiny; how hope is the main motivation in life; how we can manufacture our own luck; and why who you become as you work towards your dream is more important than the dream itself.

Abdur was born in Mayanar and had to go to Bangladesh and now is in Ireland. Its been a long journey for him and here Abdur shares a little of his experience in Ireland. He ends by talking about the music he loves especially Lalan Giiti, songs that have a very significant message for him. I have recorded a bit of it here for you and am leaving a link to the song with English subtitles. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ibQepZpG2ns

Eid was shadowing one of our fitness sessions from the neighbouring public lane a while back. While at first I though how cheeky of him he then came and apologised. Didn't I feel dreadful as he explained he was a Syrian Refugee living on £5 per day at the local YMCA and swimming was his escape from the stress of his former war torn life and the chaos of being smuggled to the UK. Recognising his talent, I did not believe he had only recently learned to swim we were keen to take him on. Letters to the IOC, sponsors, training camps to Club La Santa, the United Nations a new world was opening to us both.

What could make someone pick up and leave everything they know? Longing for something better? An escape to safety? A clear and imminent danger? All of the above? Today’s Gospel is a refugee story. How might our own stories be found in this one today?

How does a public servant decide whether someone is a refugee? And is it better to grant an asylum seeker protection when they don't need it, or to deny them protection when they do?

In this episode, we will pick up where we left off with Tankut Atuk and discuss sexualized and racialized deservingness of LGBTI refugees in Turkey.  In the second episode, we discussed different ways in which Global North oriented categorizations of vulnerability have migrated to Turkey. We saw that they migrated in the form of project-based funding, and they are enacted through local NGOs. We also explained how these categories violently make space for their existence within local realities by transforming subjectivities of LGBTI refugees.Now we will shift our focus to the concept of deservingness, and it is relations to vulnerability. Drawing upon my fieldwork, I will argue that being deserving of refugee status and rights is proved or performed via a continuous parody of vulnerability. I am calling it a parody, because, vulnerability here does not reflect the complexity of social and political exclusion LGBTI refugees face. Instead, vulnerability reflects only one or two essentialized feature of these exclusions -- i.e. the ones that speak to the sensibilities of UNHCR or countries in the Global North. Thus, this approach to vulnerability creates hierarchies within certain forms of social and political exclusions while ignoring others. It also means that being deserving of refugee status and rights depends on refugees' ability to perform a Global North oriented parody of vulnerability.For a written discussion of a similar topic, please have a look at my article "Who is 'Queerer' and Deserves Resettlement?: Queer Asylum Seekers and Their Deservingness of Refugee Status in Turkey".

In this episode, I am hosting Tankut Atuk again. We will talk about one of the worst kept secrets of non-governmental organizations working with refugees; the fact that project-based funding of NGOs reduces refugees to mere numbers and categories while ignoring their subjectivity and agency. There were many instances in my own research in Turkey when I observed that the priority of NGOs was to report higher number of refugees to the funding organizations instead of focusing on the quality of services and protection for refugees. One of the most striking examples was the practice of collecting identification numbers of families as a whole. That is to say, even though only one member of the family was visiting NGOs, they were asked to provide ID numbers of other family members. This way, NGOs were seemingly serving more refugees than they actually did.Tankut will further complicate this fact by talking about a project for LGBTI and women refugees at the NGO he worked for as a project manager. Sharing his experiences, Tankut will reveal how refugees are subjected to the violence of categories, or as Judith Butler would call it, normative violence. We will also discuss the material effects of those violent categories. Normative violence, here, refers to the Global North oriented liminal categorisations of refugees in Turkey that disarticulate citizenship rights and rearticulates them in very small bundles. Turkey differentially distributes these small bundles to the refugees according to different categories of “vulnerability” assigned to them. In other words, the language of the projects funded by organisations such as UNHCR or the EU violently reproduces itself in the localities and it produces new subjectivities of deserving and undeserving refugees. We will also problematize the concept of vulnerability that is established in the projects. These projects are funded by transnational organizations such as UNHCR, UNFPA, the EU or international bodies of states such as the USA, the UK or Germany. As countries in the Global North, the projects they fund create hierarchies of vulnerability for refugees which determine who deserve what form of services and rights. Vulnerability thus becomes a tool of managing refugee populations as opposed to granting equal protection to every refugee.Tankut is a Ph.D. Student in Gender, Women and Sexuality Studies at the University of Minnesota. His current work is on the conservative politics of HIV in Turkey, but his first MA thesis was on the gay men who served in the army.I have conducted a multi-sited ethnography in four cities of Turkey; Ankara, Istanbul, Eskişehir, and Yalova. Ankara and Istanbul can be seen as capitals of NGOs as their headquarters are in these cities. On the other hand, Eskişehir and Yalova are heavily populated by refugees in general, LGBTI refugees in particular. I conducted participant observations and oral history style interviews with ninety-four informants. Forty-five of them was LGBTI refugees and forty-nine of them worked in transnational organizations such as UNHCR or local NGOs for refugees and LGBTI people.For a written discussion of a similar topic, please have a look at my article "Who is 'Queerer' and Deserves Resettlement?: Queer Asylum Seekers and Their Deservingness of Refugee Status in Turkey".

There are many calls for reforming the way the world protects, or fails to protect, refugees. Some have suggested that the UN Refugee Convention is out-dated, others that the right to seek asylum should be abolished or that asylum claims should be processed off-shore. At the same time, the UNHCR has been drafting a Global Compact on Refugees, promising to increase global cooperation on refugee protection. James Hathaway, James E. and Sarah A. Degan Professor of Law at the University of Michigan, is the founding director of the University of Michigan’s Program in Refugee Asylum Law and author of two leading treatises: The Law of Refugee Status and of The Rights of Refugees under International Law. James Hathaway has put forward a model for a global solution to refugee protection, based on a five year project involving over 100 participants, including six governments.

Perhaps you've noticed that the topic of refugees has been in the news. The recent news sparked this question in the Radical Personal Finance Facebook group. If I were unexpectedly detained/deported while I was traveling, with the uncertainty of my job or my possessions (or even my bank accounts) being accessible to me or even available to me if I were to somehow return, what would I do, and how would I manage? How might I create a plan to restart my life from scratch if I had to begin again in a different country? I think it's a fantastic question! Today I answer this question in 3 parts: What can you do to prepare for detainment by foreign border guards? What should you do if you're caught up in the mess created by the detainment of other people? What can you do to set yourself up to start a new life in another country if you have to flee in the middle of the night? Enjoy!
