Key Stories Shaping the Far‑Right Landscape
Recent headlines show far‑right ideas influencing elections, security policies and public debate. In Kenya, ODM’s Edwin Sifuna warned that staying close to President Ruto could jeopardise the party’s 2027 outlook – a clear sign of right‑leaning alliances reshaping the opposition.
South Africa’s power giant Eskom has started cracking down on unregistered solar systems, a move framed as protecting the grid but also echoing nationalist‑type rhetoric about control and self‑sufficiency. While not a classic far‑right issue, the language mirrors a protectionist stance that many right‑wing groups adopt.
In Nigeria, the funeral of former President Muhammadu Buhari sparked a mixed reaction. Some praised his anti‑corruption drive, while others highlighted his tough stance on dissent – a legacy that far‑right sympathisers often cite as a model of strong leadership.
Why These Stories Matter
Far‑right movements are not just about elections; they shape how governments handle power, security and social policy. The Kenya‑Haiti mission, for example, illustrates how right‑leaning security outlooks can drive international interventions, even when resources are thin.
