 We worked and lived in Libya, a country on our African continent that gave us the possibility of a secure existence. We never had the intention to come to Europe. Because of the NATO-intervention, officially for the „protection of the civil population“, the war escalated and we lost everything.

Many people lost their lives. Some of us were sent with overcrowded boats over the Mediterranean. This is how we got to Lampedusa. Many died in the Mediterranean.

In Italy we lived under severe conditions until we received the refugee status. Afterwards there was nothing for us and Italy prompted us to go to other European countries. Now we are France, Switzerland, Germany and other European countries living on the streets without means or rights.

The European Union and the member states of the NATO are all responsible for our destiny. We are around 300 survivors of the war in Libya here in Hamburg. We united and demand a political solution and the (our) recognition according to § 23 Aufenthaltsgesetz (residence law). We would not be here if it wasn’t for the war in Libya and the catastrophic conditions of human rights for refugees in Italy. We are exhausted and worn out from a long involuntary and horrible journey. We seek for an end of the refusal of our right to live.

We are here to stay.
We hope for your solidarity.

DEMONSTRATION  |Saturday, june 8th 2013 | 12 o’clock | HH-Centralstation/Hachmannplatz

An African proverb says:
“A goat that is already dead, no more afraid of knives.”

To all migrant communities in Hamburg
To all those, who have not betrayed their own hearts and souls

We call you all to the streets to give a sign of solidarity and common struggle for our rights as human beings.

We are survivors of the NATO war in Libya. Everything we could build for us in Libya, we have lost. In the name of democracy and human rights, Libya, NATO countries have set on fire. The consequences of the war impact far beyond the borders of Libya. We, refugees from Libya in Europe, are the witnesses of the crime. We have come against our will and because of the intervention of the West of Europe. There is no going back for us.
We have seen many terrible things and overcome many obstacles. Now we live as unwanted immigrants on the streets of countries that speak of humanitarian protection but do not want to implement it. Again, we must fight for survival, while new wars in the name of democracy and human rights are already started.
The victims are the people who are supposed to be protected. To be a refugee is not criminal. Criminal is the one that generates refugees.

>To all our brothers and sisters who are due to the interests of powerful states also become refugees,
>to all our brothers and sisters who are because of the color of their skin, discriminated against and humiliated,
>to all our brothers and sisters who have come before us for a long time in this country and on this continent and learned to know the pain of rejection,
>to our young brothers and sisters who are born here in this country, and yet as “foreigners”,
>to all the people who see peace and justice as a unit and stand up for

come with us, the refugees of the NATO war in Libya, “Lampedusa in Hamburg” on the road.
It is the fault of NATO and the European Union that we are here.
We are human beings and have rights. If the laws are against us, they must be abolished or changed. The man makes the law, not the law of the man.
