Residents Of Dousk, Belarus Asking Donald Trump For Help

Belarusians addressed to the US President, pleading for help.

A bus station in the agrotown Dousk has been closed, but the issue remains open – Belsat was reported in the Rahachou district executive committee, which the locals complain about. Now, it’s impossible to either hide from the rain or use a toilet at the central bus station. The locals got down to the problem!

There’s a constant public traffic movement at the site near the already former Dousk bus station. There’s a surprise at the place…

“Here, we have arrived, there’s no toilet.”

“It’s impossible to find a place where to leave the bags,” the passengers complain.

The building of the bus station is closed. Initiator of the collection of signatures Aliaksei Paulouski is telling:

“It’s because they have sold the building. The building that was placed here for the tax payers’ money, the building that was intended for passengers. It is also written here that there is a toilet. Now, as we see, it is closed, there’s no cashier’s desk, the people have to releave themselves right in front of the door or behind the containers that look at the building of the Institute of Potato Harvesting Studies.”

Dousk is an agrotown in the Rahachou district of the Homel region. A transport hub on the way of major highways Mahiliou-Homel (M8, E95) and Babruisk-Slauharad.

Every day, 31 buses depart from the bus station ... The Homel regional executive committee explained the reasons behind their decision with regard to the appeal on preservation of the building, to activist Aliaksei Paulouski :

“The low level of passenger flow has made the work of the passenger terminal unprofitable, but at the same time it is necessary to comply with the social standards for transporting and serving the population of the Rahachou district,” explained Viktar Harbachou, the First Deputy Head of the Homel regional executive committee.

In the past three years, the building has incurred losses for over 20 thousand rubles, despite a 15-fold decrease of the target use areaby Gomeloblavtotrans. Half of the building was then occupied by the “Euroopt” store. After the closure of the bus station and the dismissal of the cashier and the janitor, the shopkeeper was made in charge of the garbage removal from the neighborhood.

“The garbage is now all in the Euroopt garbage dump. From everywhere, from all territories. In the morning I come to work and make a detour before I start doing my actual job,” says a Euroopt employee.

The dismissed women were offered a job in the district center.

“They have salaries there a little higher than ours. But we refused, because it is impossible to travel from here, to get there every day,” says Vera Kirylava, the former cashier of the bus station.

Outraged by the joined decision of the Homel vertical, residents and transit passengers are signing under another appeal to the Lukashenka administration and, unexpectedly …

“And to the president of the United States Donald Trump. To Trump, because the United States is providing humanitarian aid, and we ask that here, on our site, we install Trump's wigwam and two dry closets,” says Aliaksei Paulouski, the initiator of the collection of signatures.

It's easier to adapt in summer when it's warm. And in the winter ...

“It’s not every time you come and go in 15 minutes. Sometimes you have to wait for 2 hours. If it's a different direction, then 3 hours (I go to visit my sister this way). This is outrageous! It's not just my opinion!” a passenger says.

“Yes, yes! We think the same,” other passengers respond.
