The "VOICE" Declaration on Protest March in Bavaria 2016:
"The REFUGEE is the movement and our Community is our defense in Europe"
by Osaren Igbinoba of The VOICE Refugee Forum.
The REFUGEE is the movement and our community is our defense! The
struggles of the refugees to organize in communities are a strategic and
political move to ensure a participatory and representative position
within and outside, in any progressive grassroot movement.
We are now in the belly of the monster. They want us to become their
soldiers, to make them more powerful in their colonial systems. We know
why we are here and we will never forget the people we have left behind
in our homelands. We are in solidarity especially with those who are
still on the the other side of the borders, fighting against terrible
conditions only to survive one more day.
We are calling for the stop of all deportations and for freedom of
movement for all.
The ongoing protest march is not the first organized by the „Refugee
struggle for freedom“ and will not be the last refugee protest march in
Bavaria. This protest will go a long way to empower the resistance of
refugees in Bavaria as it strengthens our self-determination and makes
our unity visibility in the refugee communities nationwide.
The refugee community is in movement and as we network together, we find
immediate solution to problems. Through our coordinated protests and
engagements let us work to unite and organise ourselves!
Those who are presently destroying our homelands are those who claim
they are giving us shelter and residence! Those who are splitting,
dividing our societies and provoking wars between our people, now are
those who claim integrating us to their society! They claim that they
are generous? People with material wealth are not generous, else they
won’t be rich. Only the poor are generous, for they know what it means
to have nothing.
We call on refugees to distance themselves from the pro-states
institutions, organisations and political parties who feed and comfort
themselves from the miseries and plights of the refugee. These networks
have one thing in commom: they unite to depoliticize the struggles of
activists within the movement. We know them when they call for a
humanitarian solution while calling for and supporting massive
deportations and isolation of refugees.
In reality they are keeping their deportation sword over our heads. They
are also dividing us to "good" or "bad", and "deserved" or "not
deserved" refugees. They have still more tricks; they talk about the
danger of Pegida and islamists, a prototype of the war produced by the
very act of their system in Middle-east and Africa.
They expect us, the marginalized masses, to forget what they are really
doing, tricking us into a schism with some of us being given better
positions under their rule.
Our protests are more than 2 decades now and our resilience and resolve
is unstoppable. For many years, we have shown our anger and without
this, we would not have witnessed some changes although minimal in our
treatment as humans. Since the defacto abolition of the 1993 rights for
asylum in Germany, there have never been changes without struggles from
the refugee communities. The refugee struggles built on the demand for
justice cannot be completed without us the refugees and the community
activists in the society.
Now, we are witnessing once more the refugee community in Bayern
„REFUGEE STRUGGLE FOR FREEDOM“, on the move from 8.-21.October this
year, from München towards Nürenberg (the head quarter of the Federal
Office for Migration in Germany). We are joining and calling on other
refugees to unite in this protest to realise the refugee demands the for
unconditional residence and open border, in protest against the unhuman
conditions under which we live.
This is a protest march and a way to bring us together because our unity
is our power. When we come together we find out all of us suffer from
the same pain. We can exchange our experiences and we can organize our
unity.
Come to this march or support it in your localities and by your words.
Freedom and dignity are never going to be given to us as a present, we
can have them through our collective struggles.
