Introduction
The Caravan for the Rights of Refugees and Migrants
The ‘Caravan’ movement started in 1998 just before the
German elections. With the slogan ‘we have no vote but
we have a voice’ we travelled to 44 German cities in 35
days and enabled tens of thousands of refugees to express
themselves politically. It laid the basis for refugees and migrants
originating from Africa, Asia, Middle East, South
America and German anti-racist groups to come together
in a principled unity.
It was the common threat of deportation and the commonly
felt racism brought us together. But there is another
important aspect to our politics. This was expressed in the
Caravan Hunger Strike in Köln last year with the slogan
‘we are here because you destroy our countries’. When
the representatives of the richest countries of the world
met in Köln in June 1999 for the EU and G7 summits, refugees
from the poorest and the most oppressed countries
of the world went on hunger strike together to accuse the
powerful that in order to maximise their profits they are
supporting corrupt dictators and fascistic regimes in the
countries of our origin, thus laying the basis for the suffering
of our people and to our flight.
When we came forward to fight for our rights we faced
extra repression. But in the past year and a half the Caravan
movement has been successful in defending those who
endangered themselves by joining the struggle. Further, the
caravan movement has started to operate successfully as a
network connecting different cities and nationalities together
and laying the initial foundation stones for a serious
movement.
Germany and other European countries are escalating the
attacks on us and our rights with shocking rapidity. Advanced
technology is being added to the arsenal of repression for
the exclusion and removal of ‘foreign criminals’ as they characterise
us. While more and more sophisticated propaganda
is mobilised to justify and cover up the pillage of the countries
of origin and the brutal repression of any resistance.
It is now time we feel for reflection as well of action. We
must on the one hand consolidate and build on our achievements
but also consider new strategies of survival and resistance.
As the Kafkaesque fortress Europe becomes an
all too real nightmare for foreigners and when ‘ordinary’
European Citizens are encouraged to become spies and
special militias are used to combat the supposed enemy
from without; more than ever before the fate of the struggle
of our brothers and sisters in our countries of origin will
be determined by our effective solidarity and the strategies
we develop. But deportation, isolation and social exclusion
destroy the possibility of such solidarity being built.
It is in this context that the caravan for the rights of refugees
and migrants will organise a ten day congress aimed at
gathering forces to build an effective unity against
deportations and social exclusion.
Social exclusion has two dimensions, on the one hand it
prevents any human contact between the refugees and migrants
and the local population, to say nothing of integration.
But it is also an attempt to lock foreigners in a political
vacuum and make it impossible for us to counter the vicious
propaganda spread by the industrialised powers of
the reality in our countries of origin or of effectively expressing
their solidarity with the resistance of their brothers
and sisters.
We feel that the theme of fighting against deportation and
social exclusion brings together all the strands of our struggle.
When we fight deportations we fight not only for our
human rights to be treated as equals but we also tear asunder
painted veil of lies and corruption with which industrialised
nations attempt to obscure their pillage of our lands
and the resistance of our brothers and sisters and legitimise
the brutal regimes whose only legitimacy is that of
being partners in this crime.
When we fight against social exclusion we fight not only for
our right to be part of human society and not be herded
into the ghettos of our times but also to be able to be truly
in solidarity with those who resist and fight in the lands we
left behind.
This unforgiving onslaught on our rights has not broken
our spirit. From the isolated prisons called refugee camps
we will come out fighting. This massive conference, coordinated
by the Voice Africa Forum - which is the core of
the Caravan group in Jena, will show the seriousness in
which we will ‘Unite Against Deportation and Social Exclusion’.
Although this is called a refugee congress and
is organised fundamentally by the refugees,
all serious anti-racists are encouraged to prepare
themselves now so that you have the 21
April to the 1st May in the year 2000 free to
participate in this important event. Your contribution
will be a necessary part to the building
of a successful fight-back. Further we call
on all refugees, migrants and anti-racists at
this early stage to contribute your ideas to
the content of the congress as the program is
still fairly open.

We are here because you destroy our countries
European politicians, like former German Chancellor Helmut
Kohl says ‘yes there are problems in the world’ but then
asks ‘why do the refugees have to come to Germany?’. His
answer is that ‘Germany is not responsible for taking care of
the problems of the world’. According to him Germany has
no responsibility for causing the problems of the world. But
in fact there is a direct relationship between Germany’s economic
and political intervention in our countries and the creation
of refugees.
Cheap oil coming from Nigeria to Germany and the dictatorship
enabling multinationals like Shell to exploit the country
is clearly related. It was western interests that drove the
1966 military coup in Nigeria. The coup marked the destruction
of post independence democratic measures which had
given rights to for example the Ogoni people in the Niger
delta. This enabled the super-exploitation of the delta by foreign
companies. For over three decades oil has gushed out
of countries like Nigeria to drive ‘economic miracles’ like
Germany. But the Niger Delta is in flames, and when the
poverty ridden people protest Obasanjo the former military
dictator, who the west now wishes to disguise as a liberal
democrat says that they should be `shot like animals’.
A few weeks later Obasanjo is given the red carpet treatment
when he visits Germany while political refugees fleeing Nigeria
are deported on the basis that the reasons for their flight
is ‘obviously ungrounded’.
Driven by strategic and economic interests the US and Europe
have strengthened the fascistic
Turkish regime for decades
and actively aided and
abetted its dirty war against the
Kurdish people.
The PKK initiated a peace
process in 1993, which remains
open to this day. But the response
of the western powers
has been one of open terrorism
and conspiracy culminating in
the kidnapping of Abdullah
Öcalan. The violence unleashed
against the Kurdish
refugees in Germany in the
form of deportation is the continuation of the violence brought
to bear against the Kurds in Turkey by the regime and the
extreme right wing, which concretises itself in the death sentence
against Abdullah Öcalan. Deportation legitimises the
Turkish regime and portrays it as the real force for peace
rather than the Kurdish movement. So does the continued
ban on the PKK in Germany, symbolising its unacceptability
as a legitimate partner in negotiation. Any democratic solution
in Turkey requires that the real character of the regime
be shown up rather than being veiled by the cynical and selfinterested
politics of the European states. Which is why now
more than ever before it is necessary to fight against their
policy of the deportation of Kurds which underpins their garb
as peacemakers. When in fact they pursue the final neutralisation
of the Kurdish people, in the quest for more lucrative
markets as the Ilisu dam project and the plans for the projected
oil and natural gas pipeline linking Azerbaijan and
Kurdistan to the Turkish ports on the black sea, so amply
demonstrate.
Sri Lanka regarded by the industrialised nations as a bridgehead
for the neo-liberal re-conquest of the Indian sub-continent,
as such the struggle of the Tamil people for political
independence and social emancipation is seen as a great obstacle
because of the great hope and inspiration it holds the
downtrodden millions in the region. In its attempt to destroy
the Tamil struggle the Sri Lankan armed forces have massacred
more than 80,000 people financed by the Western donor
countries.
During the two days allocated
for ‘We are here because you
destroy our countries’ - 21 st
german tank in Kurdistan
and 22 nd April (Friday and Saturday)
we will have guest speakers from Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Middle East. We are trying also to get video
taped messages from prominent anti-imperialist personalities like Eduadro Galeano, Ngugi wa Thiongo and others
who cannot attend our congress due to earlier appointments. The workshop structure has not yet been finalised.
Call IMRV for further details and proposals.

Fortress Europe, border regimes and the international organisation of refugees
They were 16 to start off on a cold winters night. They were
leaving behind a nightmare called Sri Lanka. They were Tamils
seeking refuge, freedom from persecution. In the morning
only one of them was surviving.
‘We were left in the middle of a forest’ the survivor was to
say. ‘It was cold and we held hands so as not to get lost, a
few kilometres further we were blinded by searchlights, we
heard footsteps and voices and the barking of dogs, we were
being pursued, we tried to keep together as we ran, the
voices and the barking came closer, suddenly we were on
the banks of a river. We had been told that it was shallow,
but it looked deep, and the water flowed swiftly. We knew
that we had to get to the other side, if not we knew that we
would be sent back to Sri Lanka. But the currents were very
strong and I heard the cries of my companions as they were
swept away. I saw the water covering a woman clutching
two children, I tried to save them but it was too late... impossible,
hopeless’.
To us refugees this is the reality of the border, the reality of
Fortress Europe. The frontier between the cities of Emerald
built on all the riches of the world and the wastelands of
misery that the rest of the world has become.
Germany, the most powerful economy in Europe, pushes
for the further strengthening and extension of ‘fortress Europe’,
monomaniacally pursuing its goal of zero migration.
During the post war economic boom, the western European
nations had to bring in cheap labour to work their fac-
tories. In these days of globalisation, multinationals switch
production to where labour is cheap and can be unscrupulously
exploited. Now, not only is there no legal basis for
migration to Germany but even refugee rights are being removed
to stop virtually any foreigners from getting in. Germany
is fighting very hard to control the borders of the whole
of Europe to reduce the chances of any refugee coming in
after getting in through another European country. In 1998,
when Italy described the Kurds arriving on their shores as
‘political refugees’ Germany insisted that they were ‘criminal
migrants’ and attacked the Italian government for not
securing its borders. All the borderlands of Europe are to
apply controls that are determined by Germany or they will
be pushed out of the Schengen agreement and also the European
Union. Further, to stop people entering through the
poorer European countries Germany has pushed the ‘third
country regulation’ and the computerised finger print system
(Eurodac). Eurodac will identify where an asylum seeker
entered Europe and the ‘third country regulation’ gives the
legal basis to deport us from the richer and more powerful
countries to where we entered the EU. Germany, no stranger
to ethnic cleansing, is in this way, not only stopping us coming
into Europe but also creating a border around itself, specially
for us refugees. Despite the different conditions in the
various European countries it is clearly necessary to make a
practical Europe-wide alliance between the refugee organisations.
It is in this spirit that two days are structured.

Social exclusion, state racism, and fascism
As Europe marches towards economic unification, European
citizens are seeing borders disappearing. But for us, borders
are appearing everywhere. In every city, in every train station
and on the streets we are checked and humiliated. Germany,
again, is leading the drive to isolate and exclude us
from European society. With incredible laws like the
‘Residenzpflicht’ which limits the ability for us to move out
of certain area in Germany and forcing us to live in refugee
camps which are effectively prisons, German authorities have
laid a solid basis to isolate us. In the eastern part of Germany
you find in microcosm the result of these policies. Here the
social pressure against us has reached a fever pitch as the
terrible dynamic between neo-fascist attacks and propaganda
and the sharp end of the state’s racist policies - deportations
- puts unbearable physical and psychological pressure on us.
This process of exclusion is far from limited to those among
us who have recently arrived. Influential financial decision
makers blatantly declare that even children and grandchildren
of immigrants who are very much part of the youth of
this country should be gotten rid of as they ‘are in excess to
requirement to the economic system, under-qualified, have
no respect for the German law and are engaged in unlawful
activity and have no place in German society’. This we feel
is truly indicative of the contempt with which the ruling class
of this country holds not only us foreigners but also the vast
majority of its own citizenry. As unemployment in Germany
increases the rich get richer and cynical politicians defend
the system and status quo by turning the legitimate anger of
the poor over their fate towards ‘foreigners’.
Fighting social exclusion
The case of the 17 year old Kurd, Hakki Yildirim is a example
of social exclusion which ended up in deportation. Hakki
came here when he was only 9 and faced the multifaceted
problems of a Kurdish boy growing up in Germany. He grew
up in Lillienthal a provincial town near Bremen which was
well known for its active and well organised Neo-Nazi, es-
pecially up till 1996. Being right-wing and racist was accepted
and even fashionable, among the youth and especially
in the middle-aged population. The authorities in turn discriminated
against the young foreigners depriving them of
real opportunities to integrate into society and the police targeted
them as likely criminals. But systems pressure to exclude
Hakki was not completely successful. His childhood
friends started a powerful campaign to defend him proclaiming
that ‘If you take our Hakki away you take away a part of
us’. But Mr. Lodemann of the foreigners police in Lillienthal
and ‘who does not like foreigners anyway’ was not impressed.
Even though Hakki was not yet 18 he took immediate measures
to start the deportation procedures. This escalated matters
and widened support for Hakki. The Christian youth Centre
that Hakki and his friends frequented decided to give
church sanctuary to Hakki. The chauvinist forces were furious.
Mr. Lodemann instructed the police to take Hakki out
of the church to attend a court hearing. This even embarrassed
the court which stated that it was not necessary for
Hakki to attend the hearing since he was in church sanctuary.
Then the racists started coming out of the woodwork. A
petition campaign was started in the blaze of gutter press
publicity calling for the ‘criminal Kurd’ Hakki to be taken
out of the sanctuary. Even though Hakki had no conviction
and even though he has only had warnings for shoplifting,
Hakki was presented in the media as the archetypal foreign
criminal which the neo-fascists always talk about. The neofascists
sent letters to the church promising to ‘burn down
the church with its criminal inhabitants’. Lillianthal was
awash with neo-fascist leaflets and stickers. The solution of
the police and the state was predictable – they broke into the
church sanctuary – and subsequently deported the 17 Kurdish
boy who cannot speak a word of Turkish to Istanbul. But the
friends of Hakki have not given up! They, and we will fight
against the racist mobilisation in Lillienthal and fight for the
right for Hakki to come back.

Flight and migration of women
“I came here in order to be in a free country, but the behaviour
of German police was the same as in Iran. I could not
believe that they would treat me just as badly here and that
they would use brutal force to put on a veil. They violated
my rights and my dignity as a woman...” Roya Mosayebi
On 9th of November last year several policemen stormed
into the private room of Roya Mosayebi on the instruction
of the foreigners police in Nürnberg. They dragged her to
the police station and put a veil on her head in spite of protests
– injuring her arm in the process, so that they could
photograph her. To make a travelling document to enable
deportation the Iranian embassy insists on a veiled photo for
women. A few weeks later in the case of Djamileh, also from
Iran, the Bremen foreigners police used computer techniques
to superimpose a veil on her photo! Strong protests initiated
by the caravan groups Nürnberg and Bremen and the
‘8 th March committee’ forced the authorities not to use the
photos. However soon after, the administrative court in
Ansbach justified the brutal actions of Nürnberg authorities.
It is incredible that Iranian women who fought the massive
repression against women in their country and for that
reason had to flee are confronted once more with the trauma
of being forced to wear a veil here in Germany. The Islamic
laws like these of the Iranian regime are officially condemned
by Germany but nevertheless they support and stabilise just
that regime because of their huge economic interests. Economical
liberalism and support for the worst forms of feudal
oppression go hand by hand. And in order to get rid of refugees,
they are using the anti-women policies of the regimes
that they ‘criticise’.
It is not only in countries like Iran that women are treated as
the property of men. German women, who have relationships
with African men are confronted with immense hostility
by German society and the state. Recently many such
women and their partners have come out of their silent suffering
and started to publicly talk about their problems and
fight for their rights. For example, the foreigners office of
Bremen are determined to deport the Gambian refugee Alieu
Ceesay and thereby break up the marriage with his German
wife Dorothea Volkmann. To add insult to injury, the foreigners
office wanted Dorothea to present papers that prove
her participation in a psychotherapy to prepare her to deal
with the deportation of her husband! The message is clear:
“Women who marry Africans are not normal and have to be
treated therapeutically.” This thinking regards German
women as property of German men and have to be defended
from foreigners. Now several bi-national couples from different
cities have joined the ‘caravan’ to protest against the
apartheid in German family politics.
Further, ‘Villa Courage’ from Freiberg will talk about problems
refugee women have to suffer who are married to
German husbands. For many years they have been fighting
for a independent right to stay for women. They have fought
against the effect of the section §19 of the foreigners law
that forces a foreign woman to complete at least three years
of a marriage to a German man, before she gets any rights
and therefore be completely at mercy of their husbands’
arbitrariness.
Several years ago, Tamil refugees launched a massive and
sustained struggle to stop all deportations to Sri Lanka from
Bremen. The success of this struggle, and the confidence
other refugee groups derived from this laid the basis for the
‘caravan’ idea to emerge. In this struggle Tamil women played
a leading role. How is it that Tamil women refugees, who
had previously faced the debilitating feudal structures have
played this dynamic and leading role in the anti-racist struggle
in Germany? Clearly the liberation movement in Tamil
Eelam has something to do with it! The transportation of
the culture and experience of a successful and powerful
women’s struggle like that which exists within the Tamil liberation
movement through the refugees is valuable for the
‘Caravan’ movement.

Unite against deportation
Deportation is a gross violation of human rights not only
because it means that refugees fleeing persecution torture
and death are cynically handed over to their executioners
but also because it is the violation of the freedom of movement
from poor to rich countries which has come to symbolise
the creation of a world-wide system of apartheid between
the few entitled to enjoy the fruits of neo-liberalism
and the many, who in the words of a Tamil poet, ‘bear our
destiny seared on our foreheads like a mark of Cain’. The
small number of us who manage the come into the fortress
Europe are now facing increasing pressure and such humiliation,
to make our lives so difficult that we leave ‘voluntarily’.
It is often assumed that fascist attacks on foreigners is the
most violent manifestation of racism in western democracies.
This would be to forget the systematic planned violence
unleashed by the state against foreigners everyday. This
violence has a name - deportations. Each day thousands of
foreigners are arrested, even killed as was recently the case
in Braunschweig for no other reason than that the state
deems that they have no right to be here. This racist onslaught,
which has no other logical foundation except that,
that the state has the absolute authority to determine who
should be here and who not based on purely economic criteria;
in other words that human beings may be treated like
commodities brought in when required and discarded when
not, is not merely a catastrophe for refugees fleeing persecution
and death but also undermines the rights of all those
of foreign origin, who may have lived in this country for a
number of generations. This is why deportation is in itself
gross violation of human rights. It denies the dignity of the
human being to reduce him/her to a commodity. A state of
affairs which was considered normal a century ago with the
slave trade, which we have not forgotten.
This is why deportation, the sharp end of racism, has to be
fought as a precondition for any progress. Deportation is
the backbone and the most powerful symbol of a system of
international apartheid with the poor nations being cantoned
into desolate ‘homelands’ which serve to fill the coffers of
rapacious multinationals and denied the freedom of movement
and only the rich nations are deemed to have any legitimate
rights. It is in fact the consecration of this regime
that Schily talks about when he argues that political liberalism
follows economic liberalism, thus making the right of
asylum meaningless.
The section ‘unite against deportation’ on 29 th and 30 th April
will bring together all the previous sections of the congress
as well as deal with some concrete issues related to the practise
of deportation. The basis for the brutal practise of deportation
starts in fact in our home countries. As the first
section proclaims, ‘we are here because you destroy our
countries’. In fact the regimes in the countries of our origin
not only force us to flee but also collaborate with the German
authorities to forcibly implement our deportation. ‘Fortress
Europe’ enables the deportation of refugees even before
reaching Europe, especially before reaching Germany.
Then the high tech control system ad the collaboration between
the countries inside fortress Europe have devised diabolical
methods to push us out. ‘Social exclusion, state racism
and fascism’ unravel the terrible political dynamic which
enable that deportations take place without a strong reaction
from the community. Sexism combines with racism to
humiliate women.
Further issues
- travelling documents made with the co-operation of embassies,
centralised ‘appointments at embassies’
- deportation prisons
- mistreatment and violent death during deportation
- deportation of seriously ill and traumatised refugees
- the role of airlines in deportations, mass deportations with charter
flights
- deportation of underage persons
There is no timetable because the results of the previous workshops
are crucial to this workshop. Its main goal is to build up forthcoming
structures and to develop effective strategies in order to stop
deportations.

First of May demonstration
It may be worthwhile for the German working class to ask it’s self how international
the demonstrations for international workers day in Germany are. Will
you continue to appeal to the multi-nationals for the preservation of “Standort
Deutschland” whose global ambitions are responsible for unemployment and
poverty in this country and unheard of calamities in the third world? or will you
come out in solidarity with the refugees and migrants who are the living testimony
to the world wide depredations of global capital? Will you yet again turn
a blind eye to the destiny of the refugees and migrants and become the alibi of
your own spoliation? Or will you join hands in this our common struggle?

‘Residenzpflicht’
The Caravan Congress organisers urge refugees not to fear too much the potential problems
caused by the ‘residenzpflicht’ or ‘landkreis rule’ where we are obstructed from
leaving our restricted area. We will centrally organise legal and political support for all
refugees who want to come to the congress on the basis that it is our right to attend a
meeting to protect our human rights. We ask you to very quickly inform the ‘The Voice’ or
‘IMRV’ if you need invitations to come to the congress and any other kind of assistance.
