South Africa’s Boers Are Putting Russia On The Horns Of A Dilemma - Andrew Korybko
The planned migration of 15,000 South African Boers to Russia is
forcing the host country to choose between welcoming these new arrivals
for humanitarian reasons or complicating their efforts to flee for
geopolitical ones.
RT just published an article
quoting a Rossiya 1TV report about a delegation of 30 South African
farming families that travelled to the country’s southern Stavropol
Region in preparation for the planned migration of 15,000 Boers there in
the coming future. This community of white farmers has been
increasingly victimized by killings and other crimes since the end of
Apartheid in 1994, and with the new government of Cyril Ramaphosa vowing
to seize their land without compensation, they understandably feel
under threat enough to the point of fleeing their homeland for
protection. The intertwined issue of the Boers and their farms involves
human and land rights, though legitimate questions pertaining to racial
victimhood and inherited property have been largely overlooked after
political extremists hijacked this emotive debate.
