They want to name it ''Boerestaat''. The party is not as extreme as other parties who want to kick out all the black South Africans. The AWB simply wants a state within SA borders.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Afrikaner-Weerstandsbeweging (AWB) - The O'Malley Archives|url=https://omalley.nelsonmandela.org/omalley/index.php/site/q/03lv02424/04lv02730/05lv03188/06lv03191.htm|access-date=2021-06-17|website=omalley.nelsonmandela.org}}</ref> The AWB also wants to go back to [[apartheid]], or at least some of them want it. They claim to seek to end the killing of [[White people]] by [[black people]]. The organisation is not [[Violence|violent]], but it used to be back in the 1990s. ==References== {{reflist}} [[Category:Fascism]] [[Category:Rebel militia groups in Africa]] [[Category:1973 establishments in Africa]] [[Category:Political parties in South Africa]] [[Category:Nationalist organizations in South Africa]] [[Category:20th-century establishments in South Africa]] {{politics-stub}}
