Moscow attack: Central Asian migrants hit by backlash in Russia
BBC News ^ | March 27, 2024 | Laura Gozzi

Posted on 03/28/2024 5:29:04 PM PDT by MinorityRepublican

An increase in beatings, vandalism and episodes of racism against Central Asian migrants has been reported in Russia since the deadly attacks at Moscow's Crocus City Hall last Friday.

Four Tajik nationals have been accused of killing 140 people in the attack, claimed by jihadist group Islamic State. Several other suspects have been arrested, all of Central Asian origin.

Forecasting a rise in tensions in the aftermath of the Moscow murders, the embassy of Tajikistan in Russia warned its citizens at the weekend not to leave their homes unless necessary.

Central Asian migrants make up a sizeable proportion of Russia's migrant labour population, particularly in the retail, transportation and construction sectors.

Many already experience high levels of discrimination. They are "often confronted with broad social xenophobia that sees them as something of an underclass," Prof Edward Lemon of Texas A&M University told the BBC.

Tajik-born singer Manizha Sanghin, who represented Russia at Eurovision in 2021, condemned the "flagrant atrocity" of the Moscow attack, but warned of the "consequences that will descend upon Tajiks and all residents of Central Asia". She is now a goodwill ambassador for the UN refugee agency.

Poor muzzies. No sympathy for the victims and their families. BAU.

ISIS won’t like this ...

It’s almost like Russia is deliberately encouraging more ISIS attacks

So typical of Western cuck media.

Whenever filthy scum Muslims carry out attacks and murder non-Muslims, the media always makes the case that Mooselimbs are the victims. /spit

They talk about the innocent muslim civilians being caught up in retaliatory actions by both Russia and Israel, yet those so-called innocents, aren't innocent at all. They know who the terrorists are in their midst, know their plans, know what they've done, and what they are going to do, yet say nothing. Their silence means they condone it all. I have no sympathy for any of them because they let it happen.

I think they want to incite the Muslims to fight Russia and China.

So much drama about those Uyghurs in western China right next to the ISIS-K zone of operations in Afghanistan and Central Asia.

We saw what the Russians did in the Chechen War.

They do not have any of what do you call that? White man's guilt? Must be a Western thing.

Russia did what they had to do but Putin makes friends with Chechen leaders like Kadyrov who fight for Russia in Ukraine.

The challenge for Russia now the US using ISIS-K in Central Asia to stage terrorist attacks against Russia and Russian interests to open a second front in the Ukraine War against Russia.

I’m really tired of the word “MIGRANTS”, they are f@cking invaders, nothing more or less.

What happened to the Ruzzian narrative that this was a Ukrainian and NATO operation? What do all these Muslims have to do with it if they have nothing to do with it?

Maybe it’s because not even the Russians believe their own propaganda?

They know Putin is a liar. So how does he get conscripts to fight in Ukraine? Good question.

FAKE NEWS - Everyone knows that Russians are RACISTS, so there are no Central Asians, blacks, or other minorities in Moscow, since it simply IS NOT SAFE FOR THEM.

Oh wait, that’s Ukraine, sorry.
