International African Diaspora Day 2024 is on Saturday, October 5, 2024: is there a project to bring South African farmers to Georgia ( the nation)?

Saturday, October 5, 2024 is International African Diaspora Day 2024. Modern-Day 'Romeo & Juliet' Tale Will Open African Diaspora ... of the African Diaspora

Yes..

On October 9, 2010 Georgian TV news program aired a detailed report about plans for the resettlement of white farmers of South Africa to Georgia. This program has become in fact an official announcement about the project.

In addition to interviews with the Boers and reportage from South Africa, the program shows Boers visiting Georgia and the signing in late August 2010 of a memorandum of cooperation between the Georgian government and the Organization of the farmers of South Africa, uniting 41,000 Afrikaner families, approx. 150 thousand people.

Plans are not only real but are already under implementation.

Speaking on Georgian TV, the representative of white farmers said that the South African government is forcing white farmers give away 30% of their land to the blacks. But black farmers do not produce anything and do not want to produce.

And so, Georgia made an offer to the white farmers. Minister of Diaspora Affairs of Georgia and the South African farmers’ organization have signed a memorandum at the end of August 2010. It’s main point is to offer Transvaal farmers to move and transfer their agricultural businesses to Georgia.

Minister for Diaspora Affairs says that Georgia is ready to receive all the white farmers of South Africa – 41,000 families (about 150 thousand people), give them land for free and simplify obtaining all the necessary documents.

It is assumed that, like at home, the Boers in Georgia will be engaged in wine production and animal husbandry. The first farmer from South Africa, William De Klerk had already received Georgian citizenship.

“The idea of the Georgian government to bring the farmers here is very good. They can contribute a lot to Georgia. The situation in South Africa is getting worse every day. If Georgia will guarantee the personal safety of Boer farmers and their property, then this initiative will have great success “- says De Klerk.

The head of the organization of Transvaal farmers: “Every farmer must decide whether or not he will go to Georgia. Here (in South Africa) our main problem is the security. Since the black majority came to the government, more than 3000 farmers have been murdered. Often even the police takes part in the attacks. We do not know if we will have any land left. We have great experience and we are well known on the international market. ”

Just six weeks after the signing of the memorandum, in early October, the delegation of Transvaal farmers arrived in Georgia. The delegation inspected in detail the proposed land and met with officials, acquainted with the general situation in Georgia. The Interior Minister Vano Merabishvili personally told them about the situation in the country and demonstrated the effectiveness of the Georgian police. Farmers received personal number plates as a gift from the minister and got issued Georgian international driving licenses in 10 minutes. In South Africa, this process takes 3 months. The Boers also had a rugby match with a team of Georgian officials, but special attention was paid to the viticulture – in fact the main occupation of the farmers, along with livestock, is wine making, they produce the world famous South African wines. The Boers took part in rtveli (traditional grape harvest) in Kakheti and learned about Saperavi – a unique Georgian red wine grape of late maturing, from which famous wine of the same name is made. The delegation recorded in detail the entire trip, video footage will be shown to all members of farmers’ associations (41 thousand families) in South Africa, who will see and hear what their representatives saw Georgia.

When will God remember Zimbabwe?

When will God remember Zimbabwe?When Robert Mugabe will leave or die.-----

On March 29, 2008, Zimbabwe held a presidential election along with a parliamentary election. The three major candidates were Robert Mugabe of the Zimbabwe African National Union - Patriotic Front (ZANU-PF), Morgan Tsvangirai of the Movement for Democratic Change – Tsvangirai (MDC-T), and Simba Makoni, an independent. The results of this election were withheld for two weeks, following which it was generally acknowledged that the MDC had achieved a majority of one seat in lower house of parliament. However, Mugabe retained control because after the "recount" which was done behind close doors without independent monitors Tsvangirai no longer had the margin required by Zimbabwean law. Hence, the doctored election results that would otherwise put Mugabe out of power, failed the opposition.

In late 2008, problems in Zimbabwe reached crisis proportions in the areas of living standards, public health (with a major cholera outbreak in December) and various public considerations. Mining of diamonds at Marange in Chiadzwa became the subject of international attention as the World Diamond Council called for a clampdown on smuggling[48] and supposed illegal miners killings by the military.

2008–present In September 2008, a power-sharing agreement was reached between Mugabe and Tsvangirai, in which Mugabe remained president and Tsvangirai became prime minister. However, due to ministerial differences between their respective political parties, the agreement was not fully implemented until February 13, 2009, two days after the swearing in of Tsvangirai as Prime Minister of Zimbabwe.

In November 2010, the IMF described the Zimbabwean economy as "completing its second year of buoyant economic growth after a decade of economic decline.", mentioning "strengthening policies" and "favorable shocks" as main reasons for the economic growth.

In December 2010 President Mugabe threatened to further expropriate privately-owned companies unless "western sanctions" were lifted. He taunted: "Why should we continue having companies and organizations that are supported by Britain and America without hitting back? Time has come for us to [take] revenge. We can read the riot act and say this is 51 percent we are taking and if the sanctions persist we are taking over 100 percent."

Has anyone heard about this statement from legitimate Mohawk leaders to the church? should these papal bulls..?

I recently heard an excerpt from it. I can sympathize. I have emphathy.

But honestly, I'm getting tired of people pointing fingers towards Catholics.....because if we want to refer to historical damage, it was predominately inflicted by Spaniards, if not all of them. I'm sure it is predominately white people in the contemporary dealings as well. But just slashing the "Catholics," "the Church" and "Christians" is very very broad. Blood is not on the hands of every person who is Catholic. My people were trying to survive in Costa Rica--we never tried to convert anyone against their will or rip off cultures.

Ok....well, I think a lot of my frustration is that people confuse Hispanics, specifically with the Spaniards. It's wasn't my ancestors nor the people of today who have taken any part in any monstrosities that are going on. That's where a lot of misconceptions and ignorance lie.

To answer your question, no. It does not sound like an apology. BUT if folks want to start dishing out apologizes for shit like this, I want an apology from EVERY EUROPEAN NATION who's committed some heinous act against modern-day minority groups. I want them to apologize for murdering hundreds of millions of people.

"We do not accept your apology." Okay. Cubans wouldn't accept Castro's apology (if he wanted to give one) for his vile deeds. Descendants of the African Diaspora didn't take kindly to France's apology for its role in the slave trade. But I don't think they let that engulf them.

I realize this is a tall order. Do I think it will happen? No. But it's a nice thought.

EDIT: I just absorbed the fact that the letter was addressed to Pope Benedict. That 82 year old Pope. I hope he doesn't have health issues--that letter might kill him.

Maybe I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer, but what more is needed/expected? An apology, albeit a wishy-washy one was issued, but if the "Catholic Church" could scrounge and gather the "persecutors" up, prosecute them, (and I'm assuming, incarcerate them for the rest of their lives) am I to understand that everyone's minds would be at ease?

EDIT 2: Wow, that's not what I said. And I'm pretty sure I didn't imply anything of that nature. That's why I did the first edit and said that if the "Catholic Church" could round up the abusers, what more would they be responsible for--conducting trials and placing the offenders in prison for the rest of these days upon this Earth, or massacring them/violating them in the same way that the children were? And I wasn't just dropped off the turnip truck either--I realize Hispanics aren't involved in this--I was just using that as a medium with the two other scenarios of injustices that I described. This is synonymous with my first edit, and if that's a lack of understanding or misinterpretation on my part, then I must have a hell of a lot more living to do.
