Aankomende actie vluchtelingenkamp
Wanneer: 02/10/2012 - 20:05
De vluchtelingen van het kamp in Osdorp zijn een actie van plan in Amsterdam. Wanneer precies is nu nog onduidelijk, maar het is één dezer dagen. Sta klaar om bij te springen zodra het duidelijk is....deze mensen verdienen alle steun. Er wordt er impliciet een belangrijke campagne gevoerd tegen het immigratiebeleid en daarmee racisme. Stuur door!
Een organisator van het kamp, Mahmoud ( die hier uitgebreid aan het woord is ) sprak ik vandaag op het kamp. Wat klussen aldaar betreft is het meeste dat gedaan kan worden wel gedaan. Ze zijn bezig met het plannen van allerlei acties, die niet al te lang van te voren aangekondigd zullen worden. Denk aan Dam in de middag ergens deze week. Ik zei hem dat veel activisten graag steunen. En dat is toch zo mensen, of niet soms!
Deze campagne is van belang.Want in tegenstelling tot eerdere manifestatietjes en bijeenkomsten rondom anti-racisme, die naar mijn gevoel veel te veel werden gedragen door blanke linkse activisten, komen hier de mensen die slachtoffer zijn van het beleid zelf in actie in de vluchtelingenkampacties. Dat is echt van het grootste belang. Mensen kunnen alleen zichzelf bevrijden, met andere woorden, ze moeten zelf in actie komen. Laat niet onverlet dat we ze, als ze dat doen, hard moeten steunen!
En ander goed nieuws: het lijkt er op dat de kampen in Den Haag en Amsterdam meer gecoordineerd met elkaar samen op gaan trekken. Prima.
Hou de netwerken in de gaten en zorg dat je er bij bent!
Focking Amsterdamse bureaucraten/ambtenaren van PvdA en GroenLinks wijzen naar Den Haag, de fasjoos:
Het Amsterdamse stadsdeel Nieuw-West zegt niets te kunnen doen voor de circa 40 uitgeprocedeerde asielzoekers uit onder meer Somalië en Sudan die sinds vorige week in een tentenkamp zitten. Van het stadsdeel hoeven ze niets te verwachten.Stadsdeelvoorzitter Baâdoud wil de mensen geen valse hoop geven: "Het probleem ligt in Den Haag." (bron: teletext)

Ook in Duitsland zijn vluchtelingen in protest. Ook daar worden al een aantal maanden kampen georganiseerd door vluchtelingen zelf. Inspirerend om te zien wat hun plannen zijn:
Mobilisation in refugeecamps – NOW! Come to Berlin!
Go to a refugee camp in your area and support the Protest of refugees!
This is a callout for all those who will no longer continue to accept the inhumane living-conditions of refugees, forced on them by the asylum-legislation and who will not stand aside while these laws are killing people every day. A call to those who know about the crucial role of self-organised protest against isolation, harassment and deportation. A call to those who wont say: „We did not know.“
Why now?
On 19th of march refugees in Würzburg started a new era of protest against the inhumane laws threatening their lifes. After a refugee killed himself, refugees started to leave the Lagers, they are forced to live in, in order to establish actiontents in many cities and take the protest to the streets and into the public. Their general demands are: - Abolish all refugeecamps in germany! - Abolish the deportationlaws! – Deportation is inhumane and deadly and serves only the political and economical interests of those in power. - Abolish the „Residenzpflicht“! The protest grew quickly; there where protestcamps in 9 cities in 4 states in total. Since the 8th of septembre protesters started on two routes from Würzburg to Berlin to bring the protest to the central point of political responsibility for these racist and criminal laws and fight together. At the same time they visit as many refugee camps as possible on their way, to speak with people about their experienced powerlessness and isolation in Germany and to empower them to go the long way together. From a declaration of the striking refugees: „We mobilize all over Germany to break the isolation, against deportation and Lagers, for the closure of all Heims and for the liberation from the bondage of Residenzpflicht in Germany. (…) Now it is time to stand up, we don’t want to witness the death of one of us any longer, because the inhuman treating of asylum seekers in Germany could drive anyone of us to death. (…) We quit the fixed borders and the cages built for us, because we believe that the concept of a life within Heims for asylum seekers is unfair. We exceed these borders, because we believe that this freedom is the least right of every human. And we will resist the deportation law of the government, because these laws only serve the financial and political interests of the government. It’s the right of each and every human to choose where he_she lives. Shoulder to shoulder and stronger than ever we’re doing everything in our power to reach this dream and with the support of other asylum seekers we will witness the fullfillment of our rights.“
What’s now for you to do, to support this struggle of refugees:
On 6th of october all refugees, who want to fight on the streets for the abolishment of these inhumane laws, will gather in Berlin. In Berlin there shall be made common decisions on how the struggle is going to be continued until all demands have been reached, because this is an open and self-organized protest of refugees. So what you can do is, to go to the next refugee camp that’s close to where you live. There you can just distribute the call for refugees. (https://refugeebusprotest.wordpress.com/2012/09/29/2-refugee-call-out-fo...) If you know people discriminated by the special laws for „non-germans“, hand the flyers to them and tell them about the protests in Berlin. These will need the support of as many activists as possible. So mobilize all to come to Berlin from the 6th of october on. If you’re working with or for people, who have fled from their country, inform them! Speak with people about the protest, if they like and think together about how they can come to Berlin. Hand them the telephone numbers of the protest bus, the numbers can be called if there are any questions (Farsi, English, French, Arabic, Somali, Italian, Spanish, German are no problem, for other languages there can be found solutions to communicate). For that it’s important that at first as many refugees as possible get to know about the protest! Most refugee camps are isolated and hard to reach by public transport. To break that isolation and support the protests, the struggling refugees need the support of all those, who feel responsible and who don’t want to accept the systematical violence against humans any longer! Legal support for example needed in case of police controls regarding Residenzpflicht is guaranteed – there are lawyers as well as financial support. The striking people consciously break this law because they don’t acceppt this cut of their freedom.
