TMPress Special Report ... by Andrew Korybko ... Pro-American Armenia Carried Out A Regime Change Against The CSTO ... The US is encouraging Armenia to do everything that it can to sabotage its historic relations with Russia while insincerely claiming to be interested in bettering them: "The newly installed “velvet” government in Armenia just arrested the head of the Russian-led Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) on the supposed pretense that he played a role in successfully quashing the failed 2008 Color Revolution attempt that ultimately led to the imprisonment of the country’s current Prime Minister, with the Yerevan authorities passively-aggressively hiding behind claims that this is a purely “internal matter” to de-facto carry out their regime change against the bloc and provoke an American-encouraged rupturing of relations with Russia."

TMPress Special Report ... Why’d A Former Russian Oligarch Send Journalists To An African War Zone? ... All of Russia is still in shock after the news began streaming in yesterday evening that three of their country’s journalists were killed in the war-torn Central African Republic (CAR), a country that scarcely anyone knows anything about or can even locate on a map. Although the circumstances surrounding their deaths at what is widely believed to be the hands of one of CAR’s dozen or so rebel groups have yet to be confirmed, it’s being widely reported that they were killed at a rural checkpoint and that only their local driver survived. Another fact that’s now known is that the three men were officially in the country as tourists but were secretly working on a project with self-exiled Russian oligarch Mikhail Khodorkovsky to expose the activities of Russia’s private military companies (PMCs, colloquially known as “mercenaries”) in CAR.Khodorkovsky is ultimately responsible for the deaths of these three men because he dispatched them to the ultra-dangerous Central African Republic to dig up dirt on Russia's peacemaking activities in Africa: "The killing of three oligarch-connected Russian journalists in the war-torn Central African Republic has cast a spotlight on the irresponsible and ultimately lethal lengths that Khodorkovsky is willing to go in order to discredit President Putin."

TMPress Special Report ... South Africa’s Boers Are Putting Russia On The Horns Of A Dilemma ... by Andrew Korybko ... Russia needs to balance humanitarian and geopolitical interests in order to advance a "compromise" solution that provides for the Boers' welfare but also takes care not to offend its BRICS partner South Africa: ... "The planned migration of 15,000 South African Boers to Russia is forcing the host country to choose between welcoming these new arrivals for humanitarian reasons or complicating their efforts to flee for geopolitical ones." ... Racist Misperceptions ... RT just published an article quoting a Rossiya 1TV report about a delegation of 30 South African farming families that travelled to the country’s southern Stavropol Region in preparation for the planned migration of 15,000 Boers there in the coming future. This community of white farmers has been increasingly victimized by killings and other crimes since the end of Apartheid in 1994, and with the new government of Cyril Ramaphosa vowing to seize their land without compensation, they understandably feel under threat enough to the point of fleeing their homeland for protection. The intertwined issue of the Boers and their farms involves human and land rights, though legitimate questions pertaining to racial victimhood and inherited property have been largely overlooked after political extremists hijacked this emotive debate.
