Messaggio originale dei compagni bielorussi
t.me/zabastabel/215
📣STUDENTI, PROTEGGETE LE VOSTRE UNIVERSITÀ📣
Studenti, le nostre università dovrebbero appartenere a noi. Proprio come i lavoratori sono forti nelle loro fabbriche, gli studenti sono forti nelle loro università.
L'università non sono i funzionari del Ministero dell'Istruzione, ma gli studenti stessi e i loro insegnanti. Chiediamo democrazia nel Paese, la organizziamo nelle università✊
Per le strade possono disperderci con manganelli e cannoni ad acqua, ma come possono disperderci nelle aule e nei corridoi?💪
Le autorità cercheranno di riportare tutti alla "normalità".Stanno già licenziando e licenzieranno insegnanti, presidi, rettori e studenti non desiderati.

Original message from belarussian comrades
t.me/zabastabel/215
📣STUDENTS, PROTECT YOUR UNIVERSITIES📣
Students, our universities should belong to us. Just like the strength of the workers in their factories, the students are strong in their universities.
The university is not the officials from the Ministry of Education, but the students themselves and their teachers. We demand democracy in the country, we organize democracy in universities✊
On the streets, they can disperse us with truncheons and water cannons, but how can they disperse us in classrooms and corridors? 💪
The authorities will try to bring everyone back to "normalcy."

🚩 PROPRIETÀ - DI TUTTI?🚩
Le autorità, nonostante la retorica che non avrebbero permesso la privatizzazione, hanno venduto un altro impianto. Lukashenko con una mano sta accusando l'opposizione di voler vendere il Paese, mentre lui lo sta facendo con successo con l'altra❗️
OJSC "Brest Pivo" è stato venduta al bulgaro "Multigroup Trade", collegato a Gagik Tsarukyan, un uomo d'affari armeno che è stato recentemente privato della sua immunità parlamentare su richiesta del Servizio di sicurezza nazionale dell'Armenia
(è accusato di corruzione e attività d'affari criminali). In Bielorussia, è noto per la sua amicizia con Lukashenko e per i doni stravaganti (leoni vivi per il figlio di Lukashenko). 🤡

🚩 OWN - ALL? 🚩
So, the authorities, despite the rhetoric that they would not allow privatization, sold another plant. While Lukashenko is threatening the opposition with one hand for wanting to sell the country, he himself is successfully doing this with the other❗️
OJSC “Brest Pivo” was sold to the Bulgarian “Multigroup Trade”, connected with Gagik Tsarukyan, an Armenian businessman who was recently deprived of his parliamentary immunity at the request of the National Security Service of Armenia
(he is accused of bribery and criminal business activity). In Belarus, he is known for his friendship with Lukashenko and extravagant gifts (living lions for the son of A.G. Lukashenko). 🤡

Lukashenko himself asks not to laugh when talking about the rule of law and legality.

🚩ECONOMY AND PROPAGANDA🚩
From the side of Lukashenko's regime there is rhetoric: they say, the protesters are destroying the country's economy by their actions. At the same time, some protest channels and initiatives call for sabotage (rather naive).
We would like to remind you that inflationary and devaluation expectations began even before the elections. And the problems in the economy began at the end of 2019. Oil prices fell and economic growth slowed down.
What the authorities are now trying to shift from a sick head to a healthy one is just a propaganda ploy. ❗️

The actions of the authorities have led to serious problems in foreign loan markets, which aggravates the state of the economy.

"A '#ColorRevolution' is a #media term for a #movement based on legitimate grievances only to be co-opted into a #RegimeChange operation backed by the #US and confederates."

#Belarus elections were held Aug 9th & early voting started Aug 4th. The incumbent President Lukashenko claimed victory over opposition Svetlana Tikhanovskaya, despite widespread claims of fraud. UK & EU refuse to recognize the results #Belarusprotests
independent.co.uk/news/uk/politi…
We took a look at the twitter conversations among our pro-Kremlin trolls based on the original #Hamilton68 v1.0 set. Mentions of Svetlana Tikhanovskaya were nearly non-existent. Only 10 mentions out of 34266 tweets from Aug 3rd - Aug 9th. Below are wordclouds #Belarusprotests ImageImage
Observers are convinced Svetlana actually won the election against the deeply unpopular Pres. Lukashenko. There are claims of partially burned ballots & numerous other irregularities, & Svetlana had 2 flee the country with her children. This has led 2 massive protests in #Belarus Image

Short note on ongoing events in #Belarusprotests and probability of Russian intervention in #Belarus (to the resque of #Lukashenka)

1. Assurances from V. #Putin #Russia are aimed to be more repellent for protesters (as we see - not exactly efficient) less - real readiness 1/n
2. It's also playing for time - for now #Russia has its own ally in the top of #Belarus vertical of power; so its logical to keep up with him and observe devwlopment of events.

3. In the same time - #Russia is making #Lukashenka more and more dependent on Russian suppport... 2/n
...in the situation of lack amy support, from any side (so in case he stays - Russian pression will become more effective and smoothe on him).

4. Cost of such an intervention would be much bigger for #Russia than any advantages of it. Lukashenka is not so precious for Putin 3/n

Killing of protester in widely publicized videos during anti-gov. #protests in #Belarus means significant escalation of conflict. It can lead to larger protests & more violent confrontations between gov. forces & protesters & toppling of #Lukashenko.
Large gunshot flash from firearm of #Belarus special forces member coinciding with impacted #protester & his falling to the ground in 10 seconds suggest that he could have been shot by special gov. forces member with stun grenade/rubber bullet or, less likely, live ammunition.
A possibility of another gunshot or some kind of small explosion when #Belarus protester fell to the ground cannot be completely excluded as of now because moment when he fell with wound in his chest is cut, unreleased or muted in 3 videos of his killing. img.pravda.com/images/doc/8/8…

Un appello ai lavoratori

La Bielorussia è sommersa dalle proteste. Ogni giorno si sentono grida e spari nelle strade; ogni giorno la polizia
trattiene da alcune centinaia a diverse migliaia di persone. L'escalation del conflitto è in aumento e le prime vittime sono già apparse.

Le persone hanno il diritto di protestare e comprendiamo che molti sono condotti in strada da un senso di giustizia oltraggiata, ma uscendo
sotto proiettili e mazze, combattendo la polizia antisommossa, le persone rischiano la salute, la libertà e persino la vita.

Esistono modi più efficaci per combattere. E non solo per la libertà di elezioni, ma anche per l'opportunità di migliorare la tua vita qui e ora.

Aggiornamento politico BIELORUSSIA.
1. Ieri la situazione ha fatto un balzo in avanti. E lo ha fatto fare lo sciopero generale massiccio dalle fabbriche fino ai muscisti della filarmonica.
Non solo i lavoratori hanno scioperato ma hanno fatto spesso assemblee dentro le aziende e nei piazzali. Si va formando sulla base della relazioni umane dentro le aziende una leadership operaia di massa. Ci sono già gli appelli per formare comitati di lavoratori nelle regioni.
Stiamo calmi non sono i soviet ma è tanta roba. I rapporti con il movimento delle donne sono ottimi e questo è un ulteriore segnale in un paese dove fino a poco tempo fa dire la parola femminismo era sacrilegio.

Ein Gedanke zu den #BelarusProtests vorgestern in Berlin - Thread.
Ich finde es ehrlich gesagt nicht in Ordnung, der FDP vorzuwerfen, sie "demonstriere für Belarus und Hong Kong, aber nicht für X, Y oder Z."

Das ist DAS Totschlagargument für JEDE Art von Aktivismus.
Wie oft habe ich das bei Demos und Aktionen schon gehört?

Vor der türkischen Botschaft für die #Istanbul11: "Aber gegen die PKK demonstriert ihr nicht!"

Vor der chinesischen Botschaft für die Menschen in Hong Kong: "Aber gegen die USA und für BLM demonstriert ihr nicht!"
