Dr Ahmed Jazbhay: Trump's alt-right ambassadors must be resisted
 [IOL] Donald Trump, through Joel Pollak as ambassador, will attempt to export the alt-right’s "civilisation of death" agenda, writes Ahmed Haroon Jazbhay.Speculation is rife that US President Donald Trump aims to send South African-born Joel Pollak as his ambassador to the country. Pollak is editor-at-large of Breitbart news, a US publication of the alt-right (defined by the Washington Post as a "far-right movement whose followers hold racist, anti-Semitic and sexist beliefs and who desire a whites only state"). He was once a speech writer for former DA leader Tony Leon and played an influential role in the success of Trump’s campaign through Breitbart’s alt-right reporting agenda. The alt-right agenda of the Trump administration, part of the wider agenda of Western modernity/coloniality, is nothing but a "civilisation of death" which hides beneath the rhetoric of illegal immigration, "radical Islam", and the security and sovereignty of Western Europe and the US.
