“The first No-Stress-Tour” (francais en bas, deutsch weiter unten)
Summer is the time when lots of things are happening in Germany, also in and around Berlin.
People profit of the sun, they become more active and open up. This offers opportunities,
particular for refugees, to think of new strategies to build up a better communal life.
For this reason CISPM and Afrique Europe Interact, international networks for emancipation and
integration of refugees, are planning a project called „No Stress Tour“, which should take place this
summer from July until October.
The aim of the project is to bring refugees and other inhabitants of the city closer to each other
and to provide support with regard to the current complex asylum policy.
Despite the willingness of refugees, to open up to other residents and the willingness of other
citizens to reach out to refugees, we noted that there are still barriers, based on anxious
informations.

Story by Dawid Krawczyk of Krytyka Polityczna on the Refugee Movement Berlin: “Not everything works out as planned”
On Ohlauer Strasse in Berlin there is a building that once housed a co-educational high school. Later it stood empty. Now refugees live in it. Behind a gate with two guards, under constant surveillance.
‘No, no! You can’t take photos here. Outside the bars you can,’ I hear a few seconds after I decide to enter the school area. Alongside the guards I also see a smiling man coming towards me. He wears a winter cap and a light down jacket. His name is Alnour Ahmad-Hassan, a resident of the school. He calms the guard down.
‘Okay, let’s get out of here. At the corner there is a café. We can sit there and talk in peace,’ Alnour suggests.
‘So this is how it is here now?’ I ask, surprised.
‘Yes, more or less. You see, they are isolating us here completely.’

***
‘What would you like to know?’ asks Alnour several minutes later, sipping his black coffee.
‘Everything, basically.’
‘If everything, it would be good to start at the beginning.’

International Women Space got to know Viviana when she was still living the emergency shelter (Lager) at the Wiesenstraße, in Wedding, Berlin. On te 29th of January we went to the Notunterkunft to have a coffee with Viviana and see how she was. The moment we met, Viviana was already showing signs of stress. No wonder, she was one of the few women living in a shared space of a former Basketball Hall with 200 men having only her bed as a place of her own.

Keine Lager – Wohnraum für alle! Demonstration gegen die Errichtung eines Massenlagers auf dem Tempelhofer Feld
English translation below. Download Flyer in English, German, Farsi, and Turkish
Am Samstag, den 23. Januar 2016, wollen wir gegen den Ausbau der Lager im Flughafen Tempelhof, die Abschaffung des demokratisch beschlossenen Tempelhofer-Gesetzes, den Profit mit Geflüchteten, die katastrophalen Lebensbedingungen und vor allem gegen die Unterbringung von Menschen in Lagern an sich demonstrieren! Auftakt ist um 14 Uhr am Platz der Luftbrücke, von dort werden wir aufs Tempelhofer-Feld laufen, um den Menschen in den Lagern unsere Solidarität zu bekunden.
Keine Instrumentalisierung von Geflüchteten zum Zwecke der Gentrifizierung!
Der Senat plant derzeit das in einem Volksentscheid beschlossene Tempelhofer Feld Gesetz zu kippen. Es ist eines der ganz wenigen demokratisch beschlossenen Gesetze, der neoliberalen Regierung war es von Anfang an ein Dorn im Auge. Ausgerechnet die Geflüchteten werden nun durch die Politik zum Zwecke der Gentrifizierung instrumentalisiert. Auf dem Feld sollen Traglufthallen aufgestellt werden, insgesamt sollen bald um 8 000 Menschen auf dem Flughafengelände leben. Doch gerät das Gesetz erst einmal ins Wanken, wird auch der Bau von Luxuswohnungen und anderen gewinnbringenden Immobilien vorbereitet.
Keine Unterbringung in Lagern! Continue reading
Statement der Weisekiez-Initiative zu “Willkommenskultur”, Betreiber_innenmafia und die Unterbringung von Geflüchteten im Flughafen Tempelhof

refugees welcome, but…
Deutsche Willkommenskultur?
[AG Politischer Widerstand] Weisekiez Initiative
welcomeneukoelln@web.de
“Refugees Welcome” – dieser seit langem in antifaschistischen und antirassistischen Bewegungen verbreitete Slogan wird derzeit auch von den sogenannten „Volksparteien“ SPD und CDU und wirtschaftlichen Unternehmen angeeignet, um sich selbst nach außen hin als weltoffene und wohltätige deutsche Nation zu feiern. Doch bringen jene, die sich da mit diesem Slogan schmücken, Politiker_innen, Parteien und Konzerne, Krieg und Vertreibung erst hervor. Viele der Konflikte resultieren aus kolonialen Grenzziehungen. Grenzen wurden nach den Interessen der Imperialisten gezogen, nachdem diese die sozialen Strukturen dieser Gebiete zerstört hatten. Der Kolonialismus fand seine Fortsetzung in internationalen Bündnissen wie der NATO, der EU und dem IWF.
Refugee’s investigation from the Camp Strike in Suhl – It is unacceptable to insult us and threaten our safety
Protest in Suhl: Refugee Rescued With His Cat Exposes “Dangerous And Unlivable” Conditions In German Camp http://thevoiceforum.org/node/4025
I fled from the Syria massacre to escape to Turkey. After I decided to move to Germany with my family. I do not have a large family, only my wife and my kitten. We got to take a very dangerous trip. We were so lucky to survive from drowning in the Aegean sea between Turkey and Greece. Then, we spent days and days walking or being transferred by buses or trains from Greece to the German borders. We passed 6 countries, one by one, Turkey, Greece, Macedonia, Serbia, Hungary and Austria perceptively before reaching Germany in the end. We’ve arrived in Germany on the 15th of September 2015.
The German authorities in Hermsdorf gave us a yellow paper called “Haus Ausweis” with no date of an Interview. Then we were transferred to Suhl camp . In the camp we got shocked of the massive corruption and the bad treatment and discrimination committed by the officers in the camp.
