Belarusian opposition leader Svyatlana Tsikhanouskaya has called on the country's law enforcement officers to join those taking part in ongoing protests against Alyaksandr Lukashenka, whose claim to power has not been recognized by Western governments. In an October 20 statement on Telegram, Tsikhanouskaya said that orders by police commanders and other law enforcement structures to clamp down and use violence against protesters are "illegal." Tsikhanouskaya's statement came a week after she announced what she called the People's Ultimatum, which says Lukashenka must resign before October 25 or the ongoing protests and strikes will intensify across Belarus. "The People's Ultimatum is your chance to take the side of Belarusians. If you do not agree to carry out criminal orders, do not do so. [Lukashenka’s] regime knows that it is dying and tries to share its end with all of you by muddying the honor of your uniform. Do not allow that.

"Those who personally committed crimes will be held responsible. Lustration will not touch everyone," Tsikhanouskaya's statement said, reminding law enforcement officers that "five days are left" to make a decision and "follow the oath they gave to the Belarusian people." The European Union and the United States have refused to recognize Lukashenka as the legitimate president of Belarus after he claimed a landslide victory in an August election that has been widely criticized as fraudulent. The results sparked weeks of mass protests and have been contested by Tsikhanouskaya, whose supporters claim won the vote, as well as opposition figures across the country.

Push will come to shove in Belarus beginning on November 25 when the struggle begins in earnest. Either Lukashenka or the people will triumph.

Lukashenka is well aware that the people were victorious in neighboring Ukraine. Although he hates the thought of it, Sasha may ask Putin for Russian police/military assistance.
 
In Chile, police use water cannons against protesters, which are filled with a water solution of caustic soda. Those hit by water cannons have terrible burns. This is actually the use of chemical weapons. But neither human rights activists, nor the OPCW, don't have even slightest "concerned" at all. This is not Belarus.
 
The US Embassy recommended that compatriots in Belarus avoid mass actions, stay at home for three days if possible, and stock up on food. They probably really wanted to write that "unknown snipers" might appear on the streets, but they thought it would be quite revealing.
 
Tikhanovskaya recorded a video in support of Belarusian women.
It features Hillary Clinton and Dalia Grybauskaite. Her friends, apparently. Both are not russophobes at all.
So yes, you can safely believe the Tikhanovskaya promises to maintain good relations with Russia.

No doubt she wished Belarus could be scooped up and moved elsewhere. Away from shithole Russia.

A person who crawled out of the depths of the toilet at the cholera barracks, which is Ukraine, dares to say something bad about other country... This is a typical banderlog for you. African countries are offended when they are compared to Ukraine.
 
The only African country deeply involved with Russia is the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC).

Wagner Group Russian mercenaries guard the gold and diamond mines with their child slave labor work force.
