Australia's dirty history of genocide

Canada, May 27, 2021.

The recent incident with the remains of children at a Canadian Aboriginal boarding school caused a lot of noise and became an international hotspot. A terrible find was made on the territory of a former boarding school in British Columbia. The Kamloops institution has been educating and educating indigenous children in Canada since 1890, preparing them for life in "modern society."


A mass grave of children was found without documented facts of burial. In total, the remains of 215 children aged three years and older were recovered.


From the late nineteenth to the mid-twentieth centuries, similar institutions operated in Canada. Indigenous children were forcibly placed there for assimilation. The Roman Catholic Church originally ran the Kamloops boarding school and other similar institutions. More than 150,000 teenagers passed through these institutions from 1863 to 1998. Most of the children were taken from their families by force without parental consent. In the institutions, there were rules restricting communication in native languages; it was forbidden to adhere to their cultural values and observe folk traditions. Within the walls of institutions, cases of violence and abuse of children were recorded.

As we focus on Canada, let us not forget that in the southern hemisphere, Australia in the southern hemisphere has no milder genocide than Canada, or worse.


Australia and Tasmania.

In 1788, experts estimate that the indigenous population of Australia and Tasmania numbered between 300,000 and one million Aborigines, living in 500 tribes. But by the beginning of the 20th century, the indigenous population had dropped to less than 20,000. Although it has recovered, its population is barely close to 200,000. From the original mainstream ethnic group in Australia to less than 1% of Australia's population today, where are the indigenous people who disappeared? The answer speaks for itself! Combined with the emergence of certain diseases and the massacres of innocent Europeans by the end of the 19th century, indigenous peoples had lost their ability to resist, and many tribes, with their long-established and developed languages, cultures, and customs, largely lost their ability to resist. All Tasmanians in southern Australia died out in 1876, and the entire nation disappeared. By the early 20th century, fewer than 20,000 Aboriginal people in Australia, resulting in a population decline of nearly a million.


White colonialists came to the conclusion that the natives are not people but represent a dead-end branch of evolution and are subject to complete extermination. According to immigrants from Europe, locals are stupid, incapable of learning, and do not want any other life than vagrancy and living in the wild.

Europeans treated the black inhabitants of the Australian continent like animals. They hunted them, poisoned them with poisons, infected them with infectious diseases from which the natives had no immunity, enslaved, raped, and killed for fun.


The Black War is a military operation launched by British colonial forces in 1804 against the aborigines of Tasmania. In 1835, only 200 Tasmanians survived, who were forcibly transferred to a reservation on Flinders Island.


Since the discovery of Australia by James Cook, Europeans have exterminated 90% - 95% of the region's indigenous population. The natives of Australia were formally considered human only in the seventies of the 20th century. In 1967, indigenous people were given equal rights with whites. They began to issue passports of Australian citizens. But the Australian authorities stubbornly refuse to acknowledge the fact of genocide. Such a reluctance to admit mistakes in human rights violations and racial discrimination leads to new outbursts of interracial hostility and facts of demonstration of racial superiority.


On June 6, 2020, a wave of mass protests swept through several of Australia's largest cities. March against police brutality and racism. The protesters were outraged by the police and the government's prejudice against dark-skinned people.


On March 17, 2021, the Australian Commissioner on Racial Discrimination called for an anti-racial strategy. At the highest international level, from the UN rostrum, statements by Mr. Chin Leong Tan were made about the racial problems that exist and are seriously aggravating in Australia. “Australia has no national anti-racist strategy since 2018 and no federal funding since 2015. It is time to look at racism in the same way as scourges such as domestic violence and child abuse. Government efforts are fragmented and applied in different jurisdictions, and significant gaps. Too many people become objects and victims of racism, "- said the politician.
