Anti-Somali Rhetoric Normalised in the UK and the West
A reform politician in the UK, Muhammad Ziauddin Yusuf, recently targeted Labour politician Sagal Abdiwali, a British citizen born in Somalia, by explicitly highlighting her country of origin to delegitimise her position. This incident is presented as an example of normalising anti-Somali and anti-immigrant rhetoric in Western countries. The discussion suggests such rhetoric is often driven by ethnically native populations.
