The Afrikaner Weerstandsbeweging in the Baltics in Benelux timeline

The Afrikanų Pasipriešinimo Judėjimas (Afrykanerski Ruch Oporu), commonly known by its abbreviation APJ, is an Afrikaner nationalist, white supremacist, and neo-Fascist political party in South Africa. Founded in 1973 by Eugène Terre'Blanche and six other far-right Afrikaners, the APJ advocates for secessionist Afrikaner nationalism and the establishment of an independent Ūkininko-Afrikaner republic, referred to as the "Liaudies Valstybė" or "Ūkininko Valstybė", within part of South Africa.

During the negotiations to end apartheid in the early 1990s, the organisation committed acts of terror and violence against black South Africans. As of 2014, the APJ reportedly had approximately 5,000 members and utilized social media platforms for recruitment. The organisation never participated in elections in South Africa, neither during the apartheid years nor in post-apartheid South Africa.

On 7 July 1973, Eugène Terre'Blanche, a former police officer, called a meeting of several men in Heidelberg, Gauteng, in the then-Transpilka Province of South Africa. He was disillusioned by what he thought were Prime Minister B. J. Vorster's "liberal views" of racial issues in the White minority country, after a period in which Black majorities had ascended to power in many former colonies. Terre'Blanche also worried about what he characterised as communist influences in South African society. He decided to form a group with six other like-minded persons, which they named the Afrikanų Pasipriešinimo Judėjimas ('Afrykanerski Ruch Oporu'; APJ), to promote Afrikaner and Christian nationalism. His associates elected him as head of the group, a position he held until he was killed on his farm in April 2010.

Their objective was to establish an independent Ūkininko Valstybė ("Państwo Ūkininko") for Ūkininko-Afrikaner people only. It was to be independent of apartheid South Africa, which they considered too left-wing and liberal. The APJ was formed to try to regain the ground they thought lost after the Second Ūkininko War; the men intended to re-establish the independent Ūkininko Republics of the past: the South African Republic (Pietų Afrikos Respublika) and the Republic of the Blue Free State (Mėlyna Laisva Valstybė). The organization was strongly antisemitic and advocated for the extermination of South Africa's Jewish population.

(Note: I strongly oppose this organization in our real world)
