Mitchell Esajas Thank you for connecting the dots! This is not a German problem, this is a European reality! Here a perspective from the Netherlands as well as the press release by the March for Freedom March to Brussels While many of us are mesmerized by the World Cop matches, lets not forget about the people who do not have that luxury both in Brazil but also our own streets. Right around the corner of where I live (!), a group of African undocumented people are forced to live in an abandoned garage without the basic necessities of life such as a shower, a bed, proper nutrition, healthcare etc. The Institute for Human Rights issues a statement calling the city of Amsterdam and the secretary of Security of Justice to take proper measures as the matter is getting out of hand and their living condition is below human standards. This is not an incident but a human made system treating people in inhmane ways. When I was in Germany I met a few people of the Undocumented people who have to fight to be treated as humans, they organized a March to Brussel to protest against the European asylum system Read their press statement here: This morning, the police of Berlin started the brutal eviction of the school that has been a home and project house for the self-organized Refugee Protest in Berlin for the last 1,5 years. In October 2012 refugees from many different towns and villages in Germany left their lagers (asylum camps) to break the isolation system and live a self-determined life. They built up a big and vibrant protest camp in the middle of Berlin. The initial reason for this movement was the death of a friend. He killed himself inside his lager because he couldn’t take his situation any longer. [...] In the meantime, more than 700 people gathered outside the police blockades to show their solidarity. We hope that even more will join and show a strong signal throughout the night. To show this mutual solidarity in public, we had a demonstration today from the protest camp to the German – and then to the Dutch embassy. Later, we started a spontaneous action in front of the German Embassy. Solidarity needed!
