Biberach Agenda: Africans must rise up to Relevance - Solidarity for Mbolo Yufanyi

Solidarity for Mbolo Yufanyi: Memorial Protests for Laye Conde in Bremen and Oury Jalloh in Dessau

It is absolutely necessary that we structure a better future for our Children in this society by impacting constant orientation on how they should position themselves in this society.

Times are changing for the worse and our race is continuously faced with threat of strong discrimination and irrelevance, the inevitable call for a Forum to address crucial issues regarding our presence and relevance in the Western world requires urgent response.

The Forum should critically analyze how we should see integration in connection with ongoing debate and its effects how we should see ourselves in this society.

The forum should also represent a platform for disseminating information on rights, obligations, and privileges and possibly promote our diverse Cultural heritage and interest of Hybridization to this society.

The forum shall mobilize self expression to promote issues affecting us with the different Authorities and identify how coming together harnesses the power of unity, consolidation of ideas, identity needs and the creation of avenues to be there for one another.

Emigration has taken a continuously exploding course and our continent is a major actor in this direction based on the ever increasing manipulations in our home Polity. Every day see a new comer in our mist even thou we may be located far in different corners. We do need a central meeting point to coordinate together.

This forum would concretely harmonize our various ethnic communities and create a plain ground to constantly define our common interest through a central coordination through a common and well structured Agenda in our best interest.

It is absolutely necessary that we structure a better future for our Children in this society by impacting constant orientation on how they should position themselves in this society.

The fact that we are here boils down to the Slogan, “We are here because you destroyed our countries”. How it connects our experiences through terrenes of the dreaded Frontex and the confrontation with hatred in this society has to be clearly analyzed, otherwise our future generations would be brain washed into the racial profiling of this society.

The need to create relevance rather than locking ourselves up in self isolation i.e. as a black man nothing goes in your favor hence we settle even below minimum rather than breaking the silence.

Our Identity is our presence here; we need to lay emphasis on our personality and see ourselves as the driving tool for that identity we represent. Inferiority complexes championed by the so called powerful nations like Germany must be rejected in its totality and promote the spirit of being our brother’s keeper.

Creating relevance does not mean popularity or staying at the forefront of the Political agenda, it starts from our self determination with a goal set for ourselves. We need to identify the space for being active and knowing that what affects one affects all.

We must leave above that “Every man for himself or there is no alternative” idealogy which set us back as Africans. We must realize our potentials as Heirs to the struggle of recognition and stand against every strategy that sets us against ourselves..

We need to sustain this relevance through spirit of service and sacrifice on our part. We need to utilize the optimism in the air and take up a new sense of possibility and attitude backed by diligence and willingness to show our relevance.

We need to be together, not necessarily under an Umbrella defined with Head and Tail, but to see that we have the same goal

We are Models of the African pride; we must rise from being just there to fill the spaces to relevance in determining the progress of this society, back home as well as reviving the assumed bad image about us in this society.

Let us use the opportunity of the injustice against our Brother, Activist and friend Mbolo Yufanyi Movuh to redefine our course and exercise solidarity for one of so many cases. We must also not forget Oury Jalloh, Laye Konde others known and unknown victims of death through institutionalized racism.

eng./deut) SOLIDARITY NOW FOR MBOLO YUFANYI: The VOICE protest the racist elements of the court case and decisions since 2007

The VOICE“ Call: Urgent, ALARM! from our threatened activist Mbolo Yufanyi against imprisonment and Video doku

Haftbefehl: The VOICE“ Aufruf - Dringender ALARM von unserem bedrohten Aktivisten Mbolo Yufanyi! https://thevoiceforum.org/node/1920
++

We protest the Racist elements of the court case and decisions of 2007 that took away the custudy of his daughter "Sorgerecht" as a father from Mbolo Yufanyi.

The court´s decision did not follow reasonable grounds. There was not all any evidence that contradicted Mbolo's quality of being a father that could have led to any dicision of the court to justify the withdrawal of his daughter's custody right "Sorgerecht" from him. Instead the accusation as well as the decision used several reasons that were based on racist assumptions:

1. One main accusation of the opposite party in the court case was that Mbolo could kidnap the daughter to Camerun. This intentional and mean accusation was based on a racist stereotype concerning binational marriages and there were no concret reasons at all to claim something like this. Mbolo was a political refugee, his centre of life was in Germany, he was right in the middle of his successful studies.
On the opposite it was finally the German white mother of the child who took the child away from Germany for some years - which she couldn't have done easily without Mbolos consent if he still had had the custody on her.

2. Mbolos consequent and selfless engagement as a political activist for refugees` rights and against racism in Germany that is rooted in his genuine responsibility for human rights and dignity for every human being and which he was compelled to by the racist and unworthy cirmcumstances he and other refugees in Germany had to face was used in the case to picture
him as irresponsible and unreliable as a father.

3. The special situation of a black child in Germany, the fact that a black child in a mainly white surrounding needs the influence and steady relation to her plarents was not considered in the process at all.

These are the open reasons why we see the court trial and decision of 2007 as racist.

Mbolo will be proud and happy to live with his daughter Anna Nulia!

Deutsch:

Wir protestieren gegen die rassistischen Elemente des Gerichtsverfahrens und der Entscheidungn des Jahres 2007, das Mbolo Yufanyi das Sorgerecht als Vater entzogen hat.

Die Gerichtsentscheidung basierte nicht aus vernünftigen Gründen. Es gab keinerlei Hinweise, die Mbolos Qualität als Vater in Frage stellten, die zu irgendeiner Entscheidung des Gerichts hätten führen können, die den Sorgerechtsentzug gerechtfertigt hätte. Stattdessen stützten sich sowohl die Anklage als auch die Verteidigung auf Gründe, die auf rassistischen Annahmen basierten.

1. Einer der Hauptgründe beruhte der Gegenpartei beruhte auf der Annahme, dass Mbolo seine Tochter nach Kamerun entführen könnte. Diese absichtliche und gemeine Unterstellung basierte auf einem rassistischen Stereotyp hinsichtlich binationaler Ehen und es bestanden keinerlei konkrete Gründe für eine derartige Behauptung. Mbolo war politischer Flüchtling, sein Lebensmittelpunkt war Deutschland, wo er sich gerade mitten in seinem erfolgreichen Studium befand.
Im Gegenteil, es war gerade die weiße deutsche Mutter des Kindes, die schließlich das Kind für einige Jahre aus Deutschland wegführte - was sie ohne Mbolos Einverständnis nicht so einfach tun hätte können, hätte er immer noch über das Sorgerecht verfügt.
2. Mbolos konsequentes und selbstloses Engagement als politischer Aktivist für die Rechte von Flüchtlingen und gegen Rassismus in Deutschland, das in seiner für ihn typischen Verantwortlichkeit für die Menschenrechte und die Würde eines jeden Menschen wurzelt und zu dem er sich durch die rassistischen und unwürdigen Lebensumstände, die er und andere Flüchtlinge und Deutschland erleben mussten, verpflichtet fühlte - diese Engagement wurde gegen ihn gewandt, um ihn als unverantwortlichen und unzuverlässigen Vater darzustellen.
3. Die besondere Situation eines Schwarzen Kindes in Deutschland, die Tatsache, dass ein Schwarzes Kind, das in einer hauptsächlich weißen Umgebung aufwächst, den Einfluss und die beständige Beziehung des Schwarzen Elternteils benötigt, wurde im Prozess überhaupt nicht berücksichtigt.

Dies sind die hauptsächlichen Gründe, warum wir das Gerichtsverfahren und die Entscheidung von 2007 als rassistisch betrachten.
Mbolo ist stolz und glücklich mit seiner Tochter Anna Nulia zu leben!

The VOICE - WE DEMAND FOR YOUR SOLIDARITY WITH MBOLO YUFANYI MOVUH AND ANNA NULIA YUFANYI MOVUH!

Dear Activists and Supporters,

WE DEMAND FOR YOUR SOLIDARITY WITH MBOLO YUFANYI MOVUH
AND ANNA NULIA YUFANYI MOVUH!

PLEASE HELP FORWARD THIS CALL TO ALL AFRICAN COMMUNITIES
AND TO ALL OTHERS FOR PUBLIC INTEREST!

We need to take our struggles against racism and discrimination to a higher level especially now when white politicians and intellectuals (especially Germans) are already going beyond the phenotype, now promoting the "genetical classification of human races" including racial profiling for their nationalist discrimination of migrants in Germany and Europe.

Many millions of us are vulnerable to this stigmatization and assimilative integration without equal rights and for the collective punishment of foreigner´s parenthood to redefine the Aryan race: While Sarrazin (German racist politician) talks, the German state acts!

Although this issue of parenthood affects hundreds if not thousands of foreigners, very few are as courageous as Yufanyi Movuh to challenge the system. You can express your solidarity by sending the protest fax below to the executors of the arrest warrant against Yufanyi Mbolo.

Liebe AktivistInnen und UnterstützerInnen,

wir bitten um eure Solidarität mit Mbolo Yufanyi Movuh und Anna Nulla Yufanyi Movuh!

Bitte helft, diesen Aufruf an alle afrikanischen Communitys und alle anderen wegen des öffentlichen Interesses weiterzuleiten!

Wir müssen unsere Kämpfe gegen Rassismus und Diskriminierung auf eine höhere Stufe bringen, insbesondere jetzt, wo weiße politische Intellektuelle und Politiker (vor allem Deutsche) beginnen, über die Rechtfertigung von Nationalismus anhand phänotypischer Merkmale hinauszugehen und die genetische Klassifizierung der "Menschenrassen", inklusive rassistischer Profilerstellung propagieren zum Zwecke der nationalistischen Diskriminierung von MigrantInnen in Deutschland und Europa.

Viele Millionen von uns sind dieser Stigmatisierung und der assimilativen Integration gegenüber verletzlich, die keine rechtliche Gleichheit bietet und den Umstand, von ausländischen Eltern abzustammen, kollektiv bestraft, um die arische Rasse neu zu definieren.

Während Sarrazin redet, handelt der deutsche Staat!

Auch wenn diese Frage der Elternschaft Tausende von Menschen betrifft, sind nur wenige so couragiert wie Yufanyi Movuh, dieses System herauszufordern. Ihr könnt eure Solidarität ausdrücken, indem ihr das unten abgedruckte Protestfax an die Vollstrecker des Haftbefehls gegen Yufanyi Movuh schickt.
