Protestors run after soldiers open fire on January 20th in Kinshasa. 40 were killed. AFP photo.
Yesterday I mentioned the latest African black on other African black crime and discrimination. Today there is a story at the Mail & Guardian Africa which lays out other, what some would call “xenophobic” or “racist,” unhappiness with “foreigners” in Africa.
I find this so amusing (sort of!) that we are expected to welcome the new African refugees to America and accept them into our communities without question (with no demands that they accept our heritage, history and culture), yet they, in their own country resent “foreigners” who prefer to keep their own culture and language. And, I am sure this same attitude, as this one described in DR Congo, can be found (and largely accepted) the world over.
THE last week has been a bad time to be a foreigner in some parts of Africa. Clashes between Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) police and political protestors that left some 40 people dead last week also revealed the level of hostility towards the Chinese in the capital Kinshasa.
[…..]
The Kinshasa residents also resent what they see as the Chinese preference for sticking together in segregated communities, retaining the customs, habits, and language in their native land. The same sentiments are played out in other African countries not just with the Chinese, but Indians, Somalis, and Lebanese.
By the way, for readers who don’t know, we are in the early stages of resettling 50,000 or so “refugees” from DR Congo to your towns and cities. We have resettled a whopping 1,390 from DR Congo in the first three months of FY2015! (Don’t ask me why the State Department has not colored the map of DR Congo, but the numbers may be found in the list that follows the map.)
Editor: I’m trying something new, not writing such long posts (but maybe more of them), what do you think?
“Each of us is as intimately attached to the soil of this beautiful country as are the famous jacaranda trees of Pretoria and the mimosa trees of the bushveld – a rainbow nation at peace with itself and the world.”
Nelson Mandela (1996)
For our South African readers it must be ho-hum what have we been trying to tell the world—the welcoming “rainbow nation”meme is a lie!
Black South Africans aren’t even happy with their fellow African blacks, like the Somalis. Haven’t we been told for 20 years (more!) that it’s the white people who are evil racists in South Africa? When it’s black hatred for other blacks, it has to have a new label—xenophobia.
Looters lined up in the Rainbow Nation—a picture is worth a thousand words.
What are the odds that this story will ever see the light of day in the western press which has for so long helped keep the Mandela mythology alive.
JOHANNESBURG: South African police said Thursday they arrested 68 people after mobs went on a looting spree of grocery stores owned by foreign nationals, including Pakistanis, in Johannesburg´s Soweto township.
The violence erupted after a foreign shopkeeper shot dead a teenager who had tried to rob him on Monday night.
“Young boys wanted to rob a shop and the owner opened fire and killed one of them,” police spokesman Kay Makhubela told AFP. “That made the community angry, and that´s what started all this.”
At least 80 shops, most of them owned by Somalis and Pakistanis, have been looted over the past three days, the police said.
A second person was killed on Wednesday night, and police said they were still investigating the circumstances.
Amid widespread poverty and unemployment, frustration in Johannesburg´s run-down neighbourhoods often boils over into anti-immigrant violence.
In 2008, deadly xenophobic violence broke out around Johannesburg townships, killing 62 people.
So who are all the “South Africans” we are bringing to America as refugees—I bet these aren’t the targeted white people! Targeted Somalis I assume!
Who are the 496 “refugees” we have brought out of the multicultural oasis of South Africa in the first three months of Fiscal year 2015?
NAPLES, Italy — The U.S. Joint Chiefs chairman and Italian officials said Monday that Washington and Rome share concerns about the flood of migrants into Italy from the Middle East and Africa amid heightened terrorism fears in Europe.

The U.S. has warned in the past about the possible flow of foreign fighters through Europe’s southern borders as refugees flee Syria, Libya and other warring nations.European governments are increasingly worried about their own citizens who have traveled abroad to train with terrorist groups and then return home. The recent attacks in Paris and the thwarted attacks in Belgium have underscored those concerns.
Joint Chiefs chairman Gen. Martin Dempsey met with Italian Defense Minister Roberta Pinotti and Chief of Defense Adm. Luigi Binelli Mantelli on Monday. He was joined by U.S. Ambassador to Italy John R. Phillips.
The meeting included discussions about U.S. and allied operations against the Islamic State group in Iraq and Syria.
Both sides expressed concern about foreign fighters, according to a Defense Department release, and Dempsey said countries that migrants are leaving should be a part of any discussion about extremism.
Federal refugee contractor, the International Organization for Migration (the agency that processes refugees abroad for resettlement to your US cities), downplays concerns. You have to be a complete idiot to not assume Jihadists are using the refugee flow as cover to get into Europe.
More than 170,000 migrants have entered Italy in the past year, crossing the Mediterranean Sea. That’s roughly four times the number in 2013, according to estimates released last week by the International Organization for Migration.
But an IOM official said those trying to cross into Italy are refugees and asylum-seekers escaping war or impoverished conditions.
“We don’t have any reports of infiltration or what we think would be characterized as al-Qaida or something like that using this as a launching point,” spokesman Joel Millman said.

I wonder when (if!) Joint Chiefs Chairman Dempsey will speak about Muslim migration to America as a security threat? Not holding my breath!
When I first started this blog in 2007, this 2005 United Nations report about Utica was being blasted around America! The news today shows what ten more years of overloading a city with refugees will do.
They really should file a case against the refugee contractors and the US State Department and the Office of Refugee Resettlement too!
This is an incredible piece of news published at the Wall Street Journalyesterday and thanks to the ever-watchful ‘Pungentpeppers’ for spotting it.
This needs to be a lesson to every one of the 180 plus “welcoming” cities that host federal refugee contractors! You will not escape the same fate; it’s just a matter of time.
Before I get to what the WSJ reported, here is the propaganda the UN and the US State Department reportedfrom Washington ten years ago:
“Utica loves refugees,” Gene Dewey, former Assistant Secretary of State in the Bureau of Population, Refugees and Migration in Washington, told a Senate hearing in 2005. Utica’s size has stabilized at around 65,000 and 10,000 of these residents nearly one in six are refugees. They come from around 30 countries and have vastly different backgrounds. Thirty-one languages are spoken in city schools. Utica has benefited from refugees. The town was going downhill, but it is now reviving because of refugees.
Entitled, ‘Small Cities Fight for More School Aid From New York State,’the WSJbegins with the predictable struggling student profile and then says this below (by the way, why are we still bringing refugees from Cambodia?). Emphasis below is mine:
District officials say Utica schools lack enough resources for their 10,700 students, including 1,800 who are foreign-born. Hundreds of refugees from Somalia, Myanmar, Iraq and other war-torn lands settle in the area each year through a federal program.
Utica is one of eight small cities fighting for more state aid in a legal battle that will begin oral arguments Wednesday in state Supreme Court in Albany. The attorney general’s office has sought for six years to get higher courts to throw out the lawsuit. Lawyers for the plaintiffs say the court’s ruling could affect needy districts statewide.
[….]
On average, New York’s per-pupil education spending is the highest of any state, though there are wide gaps from district to district. According to state data, Utica spent $15,323 per pupil in the 2012-13 school year, compared with the state average of $21,118. Some affluent districts, such as Great Neck and Briarcliff Manor, spent more than $30,000 a student.
Utica officials are grappling with high poverty rates, rising enrollment and big deficits. [But wait, we were told the refugees were bring the city back from the brink of poverty!—ed]
[….]
Other cities in the case, Maisto v. New York, are Poughkeepsie, Jamestown, Port Jervis, Niagara Falls, Mount Vernon, Kingston and Newburgh.
[….]
Each city has its own concerns. Utica gets hundreds of refugees a year through a federal partnership with the nonprofit Mohawk Valley Resource Center for Refugees***.The newcomers move into inexpensive housing that was left vacant as the local manufacturing sector has waned over the past half-century. The area has lost textile mills and a General Electric plant, among others.
Utica now serves children speaking 42 languages, including Nepali, Somali Bantu, Arabic and Bosnian. Teachers say they need smaller classes and more interpreters, social workers, guidance counselors and tutors to help students who lag behind, including American children from low-income families. [Remember in 2005, the number of languages spoken in the school system was 30!—ed]
Many of the city’s children enter kindergarten with the skills of a 2-year-oldand would benefit from more individual attention, said Lori Eccleston, the district’s curriculum director. Some arrive suffering from malnutrition or lead poisoning. Several students born in African refugee camps are blind, she said, because they didn’t get drops in their eyes at birth to prevent infections.
[….]
In Utica, 15% of children in grades three to eight passed state tests in language arts last year, and 19% did so in math. Statewide, 31% passed in each subject.
By the way, the next time“WELCOMING AMERICA” (a federal contractor and UN propaganda pusher) shows up in your town peddling one of those economic studies supposedly showing how refugees and immigrants will bring your struggling city back to economic boom times, show them the door!
New York residents should know that your state is always in the Top Five states welcoming new refugees.

There is so much news now coming out of Europe, I couldn’t possibly post individually on each item (I originally had about 5 or 6 stories). The next best thing is to give you just a taste of what is happening with this round-up. Thanks to several regular readers who sent these stories, and special thanks to ‘Pungentpeppers’ for sending a whole bunch more this morning.
Think about it, all of these hot news stories have some connection with migrants and ‘refugees’!
Germany
We reported that PEGIDA was shut down in Dresden this week (here), but marches went on in other cities. The PEGIDA marchers were far-outnumbered by those who want more Muslim immigration to Germany, here at the UK Telegraph.
Czech Republic
Czechs grapple with Islam and Syrian refugee issue, here at Deutsch Welle. And, hundreds rally in Prague against Islam, here.
Denmark
Denmark holds first PEGIDA (anti-Islamification) rally. News at France 24.com.
Switzerland
Authorities will not release three Iraqis detained some time ago claiming that they were developing a terror plot for the Islamic State at SwissInfo.ch.
Finland
Blogger says it was a Somali Muslim who hacked two non-Muslims to death with an ax from End Times Trumpet. Also, police monitor social media for anti-immigrant sentiment in wake of slaughter, here.
Sweden
Fear in Sweden as unaccompanied minors (most likely teenaged boys) flood into Sweden. See the news at The Local.
Belgium
Belgium deploys troops in the streets and Greece arrests four in foiled plot from SkyNews. Migrants and asylum seekers plan their own march from Brussels to Antwerp in February, here.
Italy
In Perugia, a group of five migrants kicked a statue of the Blessed Virgin Mary, broke it to pieces, and then urinated on it (Israel News). More details here if you read Italian.
Spain
Spanish police have arrested two Cameroonian migrants who killed as many as 10 people by pushing them off a boat full of migrants that was caught in bad weather as it was headed towards Spain. The killers believed that a Nigerian priest on board caused the stormy seas. More at Euro Weekly News.
Check it out, France takes the prize for the most fighters it has supplied to the jihadists in Iraq and Syria! Consequently it may have the most coming home to show off their new skills. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-30875705
France
Incredibly, the New York Times allows Marine Le Pen to tell her story. And, in Calais about 150 illegal migrants were overcome by fumes from a fire they started, here, in French.
Hungary
Prime Minister says Hungary is a Christian nation and immigration to the EU must be slowed at Nasdaq.com.
Netherlands
Around 200 failed asylum seekers will be evicted from garage they have been occupying (Dutch News).
Poland
Poland has set up refugee camps to accept around 180 refugees from the Ukraine who are of Polish descent, from the Aviationist. Poland doesn’t have much of an Islam problem (yet).
Bulgaria
We have a lot of posts on Bulgaria here at RRW. Looks like they are continuing their fence along the Turkish border in hopes of reducing the migrant flow out of Turkey at Yahoo.News.
UK
In addition to the wife torture/murder ‘Pungentpeppers’ reported on the other day, here is another ‘religion of peace’ adherent wife killer, Naveed Ahmed, who pleaded guilty to chopping off his wife’s head last year, from the UK Daily Mail.
It sure would be one ol’ boring Europe over there if it weren’t for all the Muslim refugees and asylum seekers producing newsworthy excitement.
