Safe countries of origin ?

Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia will soon be declared as safe countries of origin. As a consequence, people from those countries will basically have no right to asylum in Germany anymore – a controversial decision.

Algerian Restaurants Offer Discounted Meals To Syrian Refugees

With the tightening of asylum polices in the European Union, the number of asylum seekers in Algeria is starting to grow once more, albeit slowly. There were 3,000 Syrian asylum-seekers in Algeria by the end of 2015, according to the UN.

Even though refugees and asylum-seekers receive free access to education and public health from the government of Algeria, they are not given access to work, according to UNHCR, hindering their ability to care for themselves and their families.

For their part, restaurant owners throughout various Algerian cities have taken it upon themselves to support asylum-seekers the best way they know how: with food.

Daniel Ramamoorthy hates when people ask “Where are you from?” It’s a difficult question to answer when you’ve never spent more than a few years in any one country.

“I’m not a fan because implied within that question is that you don’t belong,” says Ramamoorthy, who was born in the United Arab Emirates to Indian parents. His father’s job as a diplomat meant the family moved around the world from Yemen to France, Algeria to India, Zimbabwe to Morocco.
“If it’s where I was born, it’s the UAE. If it’s where my passport is from or where I look like I’m from, then it’s India. If it’s where my accent’s from, then it’s predominantly American. If it’s the kind of music I appreciate the most, then I’d be a black American gospel singer.”
“Where I’m from is where I’ve spent the longest, and that would be Ireland, because the last five years is the longest I’ve ever spent in any country.”
Ramamoorthy says he feels more at home in Ireland than in any of the other 10 cities he has lived in. “I’m a complicated mix of the different cultures, people and experiences I’ve had in all those places.”
When he was 11, Ramamoorthy’s family relocated to India. He was excited to finally live in the country his family represented around the world, but quickly discovered he did not feel Indian. “I felt rejected. It was really tough not being welcomed in my own homeland.”
Only after moving to Zimbabwe as a teenager did he begin to feel comfortable in his own skin. It was during his time in Africa that he “came to faith” and began to embrace his parents’ Christian religion.
“Zimbabwe was a fresh start in my life. It’s probably my second home after Ireland. I was learning to appreciate nature and my role as a human in a very complicated and beautiful world.”
His father, who came from one of the lowest levels of the Hindu caste system, converted to Christianity as an adult. Daniel remembers visiting his father’s home, a small village down a dirt road in rural India where people lived in tin huts with thatched walls.
“We would sit on the floor cross-legged for hours, until I could no longer feel my legs. I never understood what they said because they didn’t speak the language I know. My entire life, every time I visit his family, I sit and smile and have no idea what they say.” from ▻http://www.bridesmaidie.com

Urgent: Macedonia, Serbia, Croatia and Slovenia are separating migrants due to their (supposed) nationalities

Posted by movebus on November 19, 2015 in Croatia, EU, Macedonia, Serbia, Slovenia

Since yesterday the states of Macedonia, Serbia, Croatia and Slovenia are separating migrants due to their (supposed) nationalities by racial profiling. Obviously the IOM and UNHCR are collaborating with the governments in this issue.

The goal of the governments is to prevent those from entering their countries, who are not of (supposedly) Syrian, Iraqi and Afghan origin and to weaken the power of the migration movement. It is not clear what will happen now to those who are separated and prevented from entrance. It is not recommended to sign any paper, which you cannot read. Always ask for translation into your language and ask what are the consequences of signing.

There were reports from the Greek-/Macedonian border, that people who had lost their Greek registration papers had to show their ID to enter into Macedonia. This can be very difficult and problematic, so keep an eye on your Greek papers.

We demand to immediately put an end to the practice of racial profiling and to guarantee freedom of movement for everybody!

Exile In New Caledonia

The untold story of Algerians deported by France to the Pacific island in the 1870s and their descendants today.

Almost 150 years ago, after troops led by Sheikhs Al Mokrani and Al Haddad failed in their year-long resistence to French colonial rule in Algeria, France sent hundreds of Algerians to what was then a penal colony – the island of New Caledonia.

For French-Algerians and Algerian-French, No Place to Truly Call Home

As a consequence of the 132 years of French colonization of Algeria, the two nations remain intimately entwined, if not always happily. The continuing ebb and flow, legally or not, of people like Mr. Ouis has created a population of Franco-Algerians and Algerian-French who often live uncomfortably in either place, and whom neither country has fully embraced.

Counting the Costs of Tariff Evasion in Tunisia

In Tunisia, though, these lessons are yet to be put into effect, for although the privileges enjoyed by the former president’s family appear to have been drastically curtailed, tariff evasion in Tunisia as a whole appears to have escalated—informal, cross-border trade now accounting for more than half Tunisia’s trade with one of its two neighbors, Libya, and more than its official trade with the other, Algeria, from where roughly 25% of the fuel consumed in Tunisia originates.

The Algerian Exception -
▻http://www.nytimes.com/2015/05/30/opinion
By KAMEL DAOUD

ORAN, Algeria — Algeria is indeed a country of the Arab world: a de facto dictatorship with Islamists, oil, a vast desert, a few camels and soldiers, and women who suffer. But it also stands apart : It is the only Arab republic untouched by the Arab Spring of 2010-2011. Amid the disasters routinely visited upon the region, Algeria is an exception. Immobile and invisible, it doesn’t change and keeps a low profile.

This is largely because Algeria already had its Arab Spring in 1988, and it has yet to recover. The experience left Algerians with a deep fear of instability, which the regime of President Abdelaziz Bouteflika, in power since 1999, has exploited, along with the country’s oil wealth, to control its people — all the while deploying impressive ruses to hide Algeria from the world’s view.

October 1988: Thousands of young Algerians hit the streets to protest the National Liberation Front (F.L.N.), the dominant party born of the war for independence; the absence of presidential term limits; a mismanaged socialist economy; and a tyrannical secret service. The uprising is suppressed with bloodshed and torture. The single-party system nonetheless has to take a step back: Pluralism is introduced; reforms are announced.

The Islamists came out ahead in the first free elections in 1990, and again in the 1991 legislative elections — only to be foiled by the military in January 1992. Long before Gen. Abdel Fattah el-Sisi in Egypt, Algeria had invented the concept of therapeutic coup d’état, of coup as cure for Islamism. At the time, the military’s intervention did not go over well, at least not with the West: This was before 9/11, and the world did not yet understand the Islamist threat. In Algeria, however, Islamism was already perceived as an unprecedented danger. After the coup followed a decade of civil war, which left as many as 200,000 people dead and a million displaced, not to mention all those who disappeared.

When in 2010-2011 the Arab Spring came to Tunisia, Libya and Egypt, Algerians hoped for change, too. But their fear that war or the Islamists would return was greater still. “We have already paid,” the vox populi said, and the government joined in, intent on checking any revolutionary urge.

At the time I wrote: “Yes, we have already paid, but the goods have not been delivered.” The regime had slowly been gnawing away at the democratic gains made in October 1988: freedom of speech, a true multiparty system, free elections. Dictatorship had returned in the form of controlled democracy. And the government, though in the hands of a sickly and invisible president, was brilliant at playing on people’s fears. “Vote against change” was the gist of the prime minister’s campaign for the 2012 legislative elections.

The government also exploited the trauma left by France’s 132-year presence, casting the Arab Spring as a form of neocolonialism. To this day, the specter of colonialism remains the regime’s ideological foundation and the basis of its propaganda, and it allows the country’s so-called liberators — now well into their 70s — to still present themselves as its only possible leaders. France’s direct intervention to oust Muammar el-Qaddafi in Libya only played into their hands; it looked like the sinister workings of their phantasmagorical triptych of enemies: France, the C.I.A. and Israel. Enough to quiet any populist ardor and charge the opposition’s leaders with being traitors and collaborators.

And so it was that as soon as January 2011 the early stirrings of protest were promptly quashed. The massive police apparatus played a part, as did state television, with stations taking turns reminding the people of a few chilling equations: democracy = chaos and stability = immobility.

Money also helped. Oil dollars may make the world go round, but they have kept Algeria still. In the contemporary mythology of the Arab Spring, Bouazizi the Tunisian is the unemployed man who topples a dictator by setting himself on fire in public. This hero could not have been Algerian: In this country, Mohamed Bouazizi would have been bought off, corrupted.

The Algerian regime is rich in oil and natural gas. And at the outset of the Arab revolts, it reached into its pockets, and gave out free housing, low-interest loans and huge bribes. Oil money was distributed not to revive the economy or create real jobs, but to quell anger and turn citizens into clients. Wilier than others, the government of Algeria did not kill people; it killed time.

While distributing handouts thwarted a revolution, it did trigger thousands of small local riots — 10,000 to 12,000 a year, by some estimates. But these protesters were not demanding democracy, just housing and roads, water and electricity. In 2011 a man set himself on fire in a town west of Algiers. Reporters flocked to him, thinking they had found a revolutionary. “I am no Bouazizi,” said the Algerian, from the hospital bed in which he would not die. “I just want decent housing.”

Meanwhile Mr. Bouteflika, ailing and absent, managed to get himself re-elected in 2014 without ever appearing in public, campaigning mostly by way of a Photoshopped portrait plastered across the country. The best dictatorship knows to stay invisible. Local journalists are under strict surveillance; the foreign media’s access is restricted; tourism is limited; few images of Algeria are broadcast internationally.

The only spectacle to come out of Algeria these last few years was of some Islamists taking hostages in the Tiguentourine gas field in January 2013. But the government, by responding firmly, was able to project the image of a regime that, though no ideological ally of the West, could nonetheless be counted on as a dependable partner in the global war against terrorism. To a Morsi, an Assad or a Sisi, Western governments prefer a Bouteflika, even aging and ailing and barely able to speak. Between antiterrorism and immobility, Algeria has succeeded in selling itself as a model even without being a democracy. No small feat.

But the situation is untenable. Politically, the Algerian regime has become the Pakistan of North Africa, with both money and power in the hands of a caste that the West thinks of as a difficult partner. Algeria is too vast a country to be run by a centralist government, and no new leaders have emerged who could ensure a guided transition. The Islamists are on the rise. Oil prices are dropping. The Algerian exception cannot last much longer.

The sands of the desert in southern Algeria are moving to the beat of popular protests, and the ruling party has warned that the protests might evolve into an “Arab Spring.” Fears have particularly heightened after the dismantling of a terrorist cell of 12 members in sensitive areas in the south of the country. According to the #Algerian_army, the cell was planning attacks on #Oil sites in collaboration with foreign parties.

But there’s an important context that somehow got left out of the story this week, the “history corner” that many Frenchmen as well as Algerians prefer to ignore: the bloody 1954-62 struggle of an entire people for freedom against a brutal imperial regime, a prolonged war which remains the foundational quarrel of Arabs and French to this day.

The desperate and permanent crisis in Algerian-French relations, like the refusal of a divorced couple to accept an agreed narrative of their sorrow, poisons the cohabitation of these two peoples in France.

France and Algeria: United Against Morocco For Now? | Morocco World News

France and Algeria: United Against Morocco For Now?
Tuesday 11 November 2014 - 20:59

Morocco World News▻http://www.moroccoworldnews.com/2014/11/143839/f

By Majid Morceli

San Francisco- No one can beat the French when it comes to doing business for the good of the French people. This is exactly what happened when France Renault inaugurated an automobile assembly line in Algeria today. Usually, Algerian President Bouteflika does not miss this sort of event. Unfortunately for him and due to his known health issues, he was forced to send his Prime Minister to do the honor for him. This new plant will employ 350 people and the sale of these cars will be strictly to Algerians, which means that French will benefit the most.

This plant will assemble 25,000 vehicles per year, which is very small in comparison to the Tangier plant and its 5,500 employees, set to produce 400,000 vehicles per year for export.

The Algerians authorities don’t see it that way, though. They see that France is now on their side, and they can charm France by opening up their economy for it to profit even more if only it continues to side with their regime.

A few months ago, France was considered Algeria’s sworn enemy. Now we see that the Algerians will do anything that would have been considered impossible just few months ago to please the French, so long as it continues the process of dumping Morocco as an old friend and strategic ally.

For instance, no Algerian ever thought that their country would allow a French Judge, Marc Trevidic, to exhume the monks’ remains at the Tibehirine monastery in order to investigate their murder by the Algerian military. Those days are over. Today, the Algerian regime believes that in order to defeat Morocco, they will have to buy those who support it, and France has been a staunch ally and has supported Morocco more than once.

Algerians have always been proud to be the only Arab country that would not sell its soul to the West. It is now doing everything possible to cozy up with France, a country that Algeria always reminds us mercilessly killed 1.5 million of its people.

While turning the page and starting a new beginning with France is good, Algerians have other reasons for their actions. They want to isolate Morocco and force France to withdraw its support for it. The Algerians are willing to forget that France shamed them since independence, as long as it takes them a step further in their master plan to defeat Morocco.

The Algerians would rather start a new beginning with France than with Morocco. Not long ago, the authorities in Algeria were telling their people that they would never forget the massacre of their martyrs by France, and were accusing Morocco of being a sellout. Who’s the sellout now?

Algerian leaders have succeeded in fooling their people into thinking that this French plant, which will employ 350 Algerians, is a phenomenal accomplishment, but they will never reveal to their people the whereabouts of the billions that they make selling oil. We know that much of Algeria’s oil revenue is spent on keeping the peace by bribing their own people and buying weapons they think will be forced to use against Morocco

Let’s see how long this warm relationship will last. As soon as the French finish their charm offensive and get as many profitable businesses in Algeria as they can, you will see them coming back to Morocco..

Let France be France and do whatever necessary for the good of the French people, and let the Algeria fight Morocco day and night until the end of time.

Get ready for the next Islamic State to be declared….In North Africa
▻http://mideastwire.wordpress.com/2014/10/23/get-ready-for-the-next-islamic-state-to-be-declared-in-north-

The bottom line as this ▻http://english.al-akhbar.com/content/‘islamic-state-maghreb’-following-footsteps-isis excellent Al-Akhbar article makes clear: 1) It is only a matter of time before there is such a declaration, 2) it will ONLY buttress the chaos, contingency and far-flung danger that was originally spawned by the disasterous decision by the Obama administration to allow our allies to militarize the Syria conflict in mid 2011 and, 3) Tunisia will likely come under sustained attack from three sides, west, east and south, 4) Algeria’s insurgency will grow and both Egypt and Morocco will likely feel increased pressure from the insurgency/New IS on the eastern and westn sides of this IS formation.

Very bad news in the offing seems likely for north africa, leading to a greater sense in the US especially that MORE intervention is necessary – which will only accelerate a wider collapse of the tenuous existing security architecture.

Time to partition Syria on de facto lines with the non-ISIS forces and thereby stabilize a deal with the murderous Bashar who gets to “stay” (in this formula, Turkey would stand to gain a number of objectives while losing the main one: Bashar out)…. force a KSA-Iran rapprochment (we do have leverage with KSA and can force/lubricate a deal, especially if yeman stabilization is a part of that carrot for KSA) and allow for a post US election, nuclear deal with Iran to come into effect one way or another – with or without the US senate as is possible to a great extent.

Once these high level sources of conflict are mitigated, then and ONLY then can ISIS be effectively countered.. now also possibly in North Africa as well!

Yes. We have extensive contacts with all parties of the Libyan conflict and are seeking to bring together their points of view. Reconciliation meetings between the Libyan adversaries could be announced soon. In this context, I had visited Algeria and met President [Abdelaziz] Bouteflika and several officials to reach a solution to the Libyan crisis through dialogue sessions in Algeria. I felt the Algerians were interested in having a successful dialogue and achieving reconciliation between the different Libyan factions. Thus, we support Algeria’s efforts and hope its experience will be useful for our Libyan brothers to reach national consensus.

Edward Said · Diary: an encounter with J-P Sartre · LRB 1 June 2000
►http://www.lrb.co.uk/v22/n11/edward-said/diary

‘Demain Sartre parlera.’ And so we retired in keen anticipation of the following morning’s proceedings.

Sure enough Sartre did have something for us: a prepared text of about two typed pages that – I write entirely on the basis of a twenty-year-old memory of the moment – praised the courage of Anwar Sadat in the most banal platitudes imaginable. I cannot recall that many words were said about the Palestinians, or about territory, or about the tragic past. Certainly no reference was made to Israeli settler-colonialism, similar in many ways to French practice in Algeria. It was about as informative as a Reuters dispatch, obviously written by the egregious Victor to get Sartre, whom he seemed completely to command, off the hook. I was quite shattered to discover that this intellectual hero had succumbed in his later years to such a reactionary mentor, and that on the subject of Palestine the former warrior on behalf of the oppressed had nothing to offer beyond the most conventional, journalistic praise for an already well-celebrated Egyptian leader. For the rest of that day Sartre resumed his silence, and the proceedings continued as before. I recalled an apocryphal story in which twenty years earlier Sartre had travelled to Rome to meet Fanon (then dying of leukemia) and harangued him about the dramas of Algeria for (it was claimed) 16 non-stop hours, until Simone made him desist. Gone for ever was that Sartre.

[…]

‘For example,’ B-HL intoned, ‘Sartre’s record on Israel was perfect: he never deviated and he remained a complete supporter of the Jewish state.’

For reasons that we still cannot know for certain, Sartre did indeed remain constant in his fundamental pro-Zionism.
