Belarus Shuts Down Samantha Power’s USAID Offices
And US Embassy’s "Public Diplomacy" office
Belarus has forced the closure of the U.S. Embassy’s Public Diplomacy and USAID offices in a move that comes amid the tensions with the U.S. and its allies over Belarusian authorities’ crackdown on protests.
Samantha Power, the U.S. Agency for International Development administrator, said Friday that the Belarusian authorities aim to “severely disrupt U.S. development assistance and public diplomacy in Belarus by forcing the closure of facilities that house key U.S. Government operations, and by ending employment of all of USAID’s local staff and Department of State public diplomacy staff.”
She added that the move, which is effective Nov. 20, demonstrates the authorities’ “callous disregard of the interests of the Belarusian people.”
U.S. Envoy for Belarus Julie Fisher described the Belarusian authorities’ decision as a reflection of their “deep insecurities about the role of diplomacy, people-to-people ties and independent civil society.”
She added that the U.S. “will not be deterred from its commitment to helping advance democracy and human rights in Belarus and to supporting the aspirations of the Belarusian people to build a more promising future in a free and independent Belarus.”
The ambassador noted that the U.S. government’s development assistance implemented in Belarus by USAID since the 1990s has supported entrepreneurship and the expansion of small-to-medium private enterprises. More recently, it provided key COVID-19 relief while Belarusian authorities were dismissive of the pandemic.

It appears Lukashenko is smarter than the average bear. Shutting down an obvious 5th column. The US is literally falling apart at the seams, yet it’s gov still pokes it nose in other peoples business.
It was long overdue. Get rid of all this American scum
More and more countries just want the USA out of their turf and who can blame them!
Uh huh; it’s obviously ‘in the best interests of the Belarusian people’ to have an American regime-change cell operating in their midst. Nothing like being told how shitty you have it, and how much better it would be if you would only overthrow the government and let Washington call the shots, to put a shine on the morning.
(((“American regime”))).
