“ We remember Francis Kwame who survived the NATO war in Libya but died in the streets of Hamburg ”.

We, from the International Migrants Alliance- Europe section ( IMA-Europe) remember and mourn the death of Francis Kwame who died on 20 March 2014 in Hamburg. He was a steadfast African activist who fought for the rights of refugees, particularly his fellow refugees in the “Lampedusa in Hamburg” campaign for asylum for refugees who moved from Lampedusa to Hamburg. We extend our condolences and sympathy to its members and to the supporters of this solidarity movement. Let us turn our grief into courage.

Refugees regret and mourn the death of Francis Kwame and criticise the German executive and judicial organ in charge of refugees affaire.

We regret and mourn the death of our fellow refugee Francis Kwame in Hamburg. This is one of the outcome and evidence of stats repression, injustice, discrimination, war in Libya.

We didn't survive NATO war in Libya - to die in the streets of Hamburg!
Francis Kwame is dead!

Francis Kwame , according to the information, had survived war in Libya, where he had lived and worked for almost 20 years . Lost all he had worked for so many years, obliged to quit Libya to exile, to protect his life in Europe.

"He did not die in Hamburg, he did not die in Lybia, he died in the moment when NATO decided to attack Libya!", one Afghan refugee said during the first presentation of the video in Jena during a meeting of THE VOICE Refugee Forum. Someone said thereafter: "He died even once before, when he left his land and his familly to Libya, to work and be able to support the family back home."
