The Afrikaner Weerstandsbeweging (pronounced[afriˈkɑːnərˌviərstants.bəˈviəχəŋ]), meaning "Afrikaner Resistance Movement", commonly known by its abbreviation AWB, is an Afrikaner nationalist, neo-Nazi political party in South Africa.[2][3][4][5] Since its founding in 1973 by Eugène Terre'Blanche and six other far-right Afrikaners, it has been dedicated to secessionist Afrikaner nationalism and the creation of an independent Boer-Afrikaner republic or "Volkstaat/Boerestaat" in part of South Africa. During bilateral negotiations to end apartheid in the early 1990s, the organisation terrorised and killed black South Africans.[6]
As of 2016[update], it is reported that the organization has around 5,000 members, and uses social media for recruitment.[7]
