Solidarity against deportation
Saturday, July 8, 2017
13:00 Manifestation / 14:00 Demonstration
In front of the train station- Wuppertal Oberbarmen

Enough is enough. We are fed up with the attacks on our lives. Nowhere on the earth we are safe, not in our own countries, not in Europe nor in Germany. Part of the responsible persons gather this week in Hamburg and celebrate themselves. At the same time, we are obliged to struggle day and night to survive.
We, refugees from Wuppertal and surroundings want to show our presence on the streets and manifest, that we do not allow anyone to play with our lives.

We are here because you destroy our countries!

We do not allow that they deport us to Afghanistan, Iraq, or Sudan. The NATO-states together with other warlords are responsible for the situation in these countries. It is shaming that blatant lies are spread and Afghanistan is made to a safe country. It is perverse that people even think of building safe zones for refugees in Syria. Whose bombs are raining each night on the roofs of Syrian civilians? Is peace wanted at all or is more hatred desired, in order to keep the war running and the profits flowing?
United against colonial injustice

We do not allow that we are sent to West Africa, where we are persecuted and our lives are not safe. We do not allow that our lives are bought by giving money to our corrupt state lords, in order to issue papers and take us back, to start again with persecution and exploitation. Our countries are being exploited since more than 500 years. Our natural resources have been sold cheap to the big corporations of the world. Now, our lives are being sold publicly and cheap.

We do not allow that we are deported to Italy or Greece, where we have to live on the streets and to work more than 16 hours a day on the farms as the new slaves of Europe. At the same time we have no access to medical care and the money we earn is not even enough to rent a small flat.

We can not accept that our brothers and sisters from Balkan have no right to apply for asylum here and are immediately upon arrival put into deportation centers. It is shaming, how our people from Balkan have ben criminalized by German authorities to legitimate the deportations to those countries and prepare the society here for the deportation crimes. The same happened with our brothers and sisters from North Africa. Now the Federal Republic of Germany has done everything and continuously pushed the states to take us back. Who will be the next?

Hatred is grown here in Europe in order to avoid that the people in Europe who are affected by low wages and poverty do solidarize with us. But we share the same pain. No matter if here or in our countries, the same corporations and their servants in the states plunder and exploit us, divide us, to get richer. But we have to struggle to survive and to build a future for our children. We want a world that is based on solidarity for the wealth of humanity. We want a world where peace and wealth are shaping our lives and not an agenda of the G7 or G20, an agenda of competition and corruption, an agenda that perpetually generates war, generates poor and rich.

We say Asylum is a human right and not a privilege.

We are forced to protect our lives and therefore we pledge to live there, where our lives are safe.
We invite everyone that cannot bear anymore the lies and the humiliation to join us to the streets. We want to demonstrate that solidarity and the connection between people are the principles of our communities and those of human being.

Solidarity instead of division and hatred
