Hello folks My name is Anatol Pomozov and I am an Arch Linux developer. I've been quiet for a couple of weeks now and will probably stay away from my Arch Linux/pacman (+bcc:pacman-dev@) duties for a bit more. Please feel free to take care of my packages if it's needed. The reason for this decision is a situation that happens in my home country. I am a belarusian. My home country, my beautiful Belarus is essentially taken hostage by a usurpator Lukashenko. He has been "ruling" the country for 26 years already. Lukashenko cancelled results of the last election (where he took ~10% of votes) and declared that he is going to stay in power for another 5 years. All his political opponents were put into a jail or hiding from him abroad. Anyone who demands fair elections is terrorized by his personal army. Many people are tortured in jail. You can see what happens in Belarus in these clips https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XG3D6881AXY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-6tCGnM0xiQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E0VLjQvCxcc I live abroad and I am safe now. But my parents and relatives are in Belarus and they were essentially taken hostage by the Lukashenko's government. The last few weeks were stressful for me and I want to focus on my extended family as much as possible. I understand that Arch maillist might not be the place for political statements but this is something personal and something important for me. There is no place for such violence and there is no place for dictators in Europe of the 21st century. Please support Belarusian people in their fight against the usurpator. Talk to your governor/mayor/deputy/..., ask them to contact Belarusian government to stop the violence. Talk to the press, explain to them what is going on in Belarus right now. Anything that brings peace to Belarus will be helpful. Thank you. Жыве Беларусь!
