The Russians are known to be systematically racist as their hatred for blacks goes unabated.

It has become very rare for governments in this countries to pursue would be perpetrators of such heinous crimes.

It has been reported that a group of unidentified attackers has stabbed to death a Ghanaian national in Russia’s second largest city of St. Petersburg, The 25-year-old man was taken to hospital in critical condition, with some 20 injuries to his head, neck, chest, kidney, stomach and limbs. He died several hours later. According to the Russian authorities, an investigation into the attack has been launched. Whether this investigation will be followed-up with a conviction is another matter. Russia has seen a wave of racially motivated crime since the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991.

    Ohh!! my God! This is inhuman! Where are the government authorities in these countries? Their silence simply tells us how they really stands towards these acts of violence. By the way, what are the Russians, Italians and these other racists doing in Africa? You evil people, the wrath of God is upon you!!!
