...they know? Is every Zulu who lives in that hostel a member of Inkatha? Your question makes me despair. We are interested that the people who were responsible be tracked down and punished. I have never orchestrated violence, or taken one decision for anyone to be killed even on one occasion. The fact that members of Inkatha have been sucked into the violence is something that I regret...
...A.N.C., the two problems go hand in hand. Secretary-General Cyril Ramaphosa blamed De Klerk for the massacre, accusing the government of pursuing a strategy that "embraces negotiations together with systematic covert actions, including murder." Survivors of the atrocity accused Zulu migrant workers staying at a local hostel and loyal to the Inkatha Freedom Party of carrying out the killings -- but the survivors also claim that government security forces took part in the attack...
...first anniversary of unification last week, but the day will be remembered more for the fires that burned across the country than for the holiday fireworks. On the Baltic island of Rugen, right-wing extremists razed a center for asylum seekers. In the northern city of Bremen, a hostel for foreigners was firebombed.

Altogether there were at least 16 attacks on foreigners within a 24-hour span, rounding off a three-week reign of terror...

Gorbachev spent the first three of his student years in the shabby Stromynka student hostel, an 18th century former barracks that housed 10,000 young people packed eight or more to a room. There was a kitchen and a washroom on each floor, but no proper bathing facilities. Gorbachev and his roommates would head to a public bathhouse twice a month. They stored their personal belongings in suitcases under the beds. Many of the youths could not even afford tea. Instead, they drank "student tea," a concoction of hot water and sugar...
