Momika was killed in a shooting Wednesday night at an apartment building in Sodertalje, near Stockholm. Five people were arrested in the following hours on suspicion of murder. The statement added that the suspicions have not yet been dismissed completely and investigators are still looking into what exactly happened and who was behind the killing. Afrikaners are descended from mainly Dutch, but also French and German colonial settlers who first arrived in South Africa more than years ago.
They speak Afrikaans, a language derived from Dutch that developed in South Africa, and are distinct from other white South Africans who come from British or other backgrounds. We are not going anywhere. But the portrayal of Afrikaners as a downtrodden group that needed to be saved would surprise most South Africans.
We value all South Africans, Black and white. The assertion that Afrikaners face arbitrary deprivation and, therefore, need to flee the country of their birth is an assertion devoid of all truth.
A study in by the South Africa Human Rights Commission said 1 percent of whites were living in poverty compared to 64 percent of Blacks. The leaders of the apartheid government were Afrikaners. Solidarity, AfriForum and others are strongly opposed to the new land expropriation law, saying it will target land owned by whites who have worked to develop that land for years. But Kriel said Afrikaners were committed to South Africa.
The South African government says the laws that have been criticized are aimed at the difficult task of redressing the wrongs of colonialism and then nearly a half-century of apartheid, when Blacks were stripped of their land and almost all their rights. The rebels seized Goma, the biggest city in eastern Congo, following fighting that left nearly 3, dead and hundreds of thousands of displaced, according to the UN The unprecedented joint summit included leaders from the East African Community bloc, of which both Rwanda and Congo are members, and those from the Southern African Development Community, or SADC, which includes countries ranging from Congo to South Africa.
