It was the anniversary of his release from prison last week.
We still have Apartheid here ....
Apartheid?
Is that a revised/repackaged version of ethnic cleansing?
It's the watered down version!
She’s just giving Turkish Cypriots ideas now to start calling it “Apartheid” in place of Ethnic Cleansing (and it’s not like they need a lot of encouragement to twist and pervert things), because they come and work in the “Greek sector”!
The ethnic cleansing was step ONE towards establishing Apartheid. Unfortunately the term "ethnic cleansing" was gaining some sort of credence/acceptable on the basis that it was in some way deserved ... we see the vast Turkish propaganda making up stories from the 60's to justify or substantiate ethnic cleansing as warranted.
The power struggle of Mandela was so successful because it highlighted the CONTINUED
exploitation of people which is apparently more worrying/disturbing to the masses, than a ONE-OFF case of ethnic cleansing (in the past sense).
Ethnic cleansing didn't stop there for us, but unfortunately it did in the minds of many. A
fait accompli.
Erolz understand the
significance of the term, Apartheid, even if you guys don't.
