South Africa’s ambassador to France was found dead on Tuesday at the foot of the Hyatt Regency hotel, a high-rise tower in the west of Paris, the Paris prosecutor’s office said.
an ambassador to france feels like a very random target in relation to that tbh, and he doesn’t seem like he was very important to the current government, being minister of police during a massacre
Probably less something to gain and more to send a message and out of some measure of frustration, especially given France is among the countries planning to acknowledge a Palestinian state (if that’s still happening, or has happened)
Yeah, which would make him more ideal to assassinate. It sends a message to the rest of the SA ambassadors without interfering too much or being overtly obvious as to the motivation.
ah yes, lemmy.world, predictable. it was the russians. they stole the patent on defenestration from czechia during communist times and now here we are.
reminding everyone here, that South Africa was the country that initiated the Genocide charge against Israel in the ICJ.
