Eine Präsidentschaft ist keine Monarchie! Für eine echte Demokratie im Tschad

KUNDGEBUNG: 15.05.2021, 15:30 Pariser Platz (Französische Botschaft)

Das Schreckensregime des tschadischen Diktators Idriss Déby fand am 20.04.2021 ein Ende. Durch seinen Tod besteht erstmals seit 31 Jahren die Chance auf Freiheit, Gerechtigkeit und Demokratie im Tschad.
Doch leider deutet viel darauf hin, dass mit der Einsetzung seines Sohnes Mahamat Idriss Déby Itno als Präsident des militärischen Übergangsrates diktatorische Machtverhältnisse weiter zementiert werden.

Wir glauben den Versprechungen nicht, dass Mahamat Idriss Déby Itno und die mächtigen Militärs wirklich nur den Übergang hin zu freien und fairen Wahlen ebnen wollen, indem sie das Land in den nächsten 18 Monaten stabilisieren. Demokratie ist nichts, worauf man warten kann. Wir brauchen Demokratie jetzt!

Wir glauben auch nicht den Lippenbekenntnissen europäischer Staaten, allen voran Frankreich, die einen demokratischen Übergang begrüßen. Sie alle haben aus geopolitschem Interesse Idriss Déby gestützt. Sie werden leider auch eine Militärdiktatur und Quasimonarchie unterstützen.

Gegen diese Heuchelei richtet sich unser Protest!

Without!

Statement concerning the planned tightening of the asylum law by one refugee activist

The Parliament is the symbol of representative democracy. Members of parliament/Attorneys are elected by the vote of “people”, in other words ” citizens”, and their responsibility is to defend the rights of “citizens” and to pass laws in favour of them.

 
Due to this definition, all the asylum laws, migration laws or in other word laws related to “non citizens” are passed or rejected without any representative from them in parliament; that means that by defending their rights, representatives of “citizens” violate the rights of “non citizens” .

 
The new law, which is based on eliminating “non citizens”, avoiding their presence in future and giving a dangerous and threatening image of them, in better words criminalise them, is supposed to legitimize the notion that citizens (here means Germans) are against the presence of non citizens ( concrete symbols of this opposition in German society is PEGIDA& Co., racism and exclusive behaviour towards “foreigners” or “impures”, which are rooted in history and social and cultural manner of this society ).

 
About the racist and fascistic character of PEGIDA and their exclusive logic which is the same as Hitler’s, but this time against Muslims, there is no doubt; so, as even the Chancellor of Germany, who is herself from a conservative right party, took up a position against them, the UN high commision of human rights gave a warning to Germany because of that.

 
Considering all this, what is going to be passed in the German parliament means nothing other than creating another tool to spread racism. Such a parliament which helps in this way to spread racism instead of stopping it, cannot be anything else than an organisation which systematically and legally paves the way for fascism .
If in law or in society or in politics, would you find a better name for such an approach other than Fascism??

Between Two Fires: A Migrant’s Fight for a Place in Germany

picture of a refugee protest demonstration in Berlin by Tobias Zielony
In dictatorships, where a prideful life is nonexistent and the nation’s wealth is owned and controlled by the ruler’s clique, young people suffer a suffocating atmosphere of systematic oppression for merely criticizing the regime in power. Faced with joblessness and lack of freedom of expression, some suppressed youths will seek legal and illegal emigration allured by the foreign media’s empty slogans of justice and freedom. I am writing these words out of a personal experience, being an illegal Sudanese immigrant in Europe. I learned the hard way that illegal immigration is not the answer, that is if the Mediterranean Sea does not swallow you first.

International demonstration against the reelection of Deby at the head of Chad State!

Saturday 29.11, 11am Oranienplatz –
1pm Chad Embassy, Lepsiusstraße 114

Français plus bas!

Mr Blaise Compaoré repressed the Burkinabe people in the streets of Ouagadougou and around the Faso country, as the project of a life presidency was abandoned.

The Chadian people are worried about the democratic future of the country, seeing change in Chad  becoming increasingly unlikely. Idriss Deby was 24 years in power, he managed to change the constitution in 2005 and … now, the man wants to seek re-election in 2016, for the 5 th time ! This will let him be for 30 years in power : the Chadian people said stop to Mr Idriss Deby.
Chadians are not fools. Twenty-four (24 years) to power is enough!
