Come, come many and all!
Come and show your solidarity, come and bear witness or see for
yourself what the “Jungle” of Calais is all about. Come and help the
world know that the “Jungle” of Calais is a meeting place, a place where
things are happening, a place of interaction between many cultures,
between Europeans and refugees from all over.
Come and visit
the communal places, the church, the mosque, the school, the library,
the restaurants and many places created and by refugees and volunteers
working together, and everything which is still standing.
Come and also see what the French government does, what it has wasted and destroyed…
Have a look at the 100 m no-man’s land where even sowing wild flower
seeds is forbidden. See the part of the city which the government has
bulldozed this week, transforming an area alive with little homes into a
desolate post-war zone.
Come and see for yourself what the
government wants the refugees to move into instead: the stacked-up
containers which no European citizen can freely enter, thereby
forbidding any of us the developing of social ties and integration with
refugees…or the big blue tents, without heat or flooring, in an area
prone to flooding, both of which will not house every refugee wanting to
be close to their dream of the UK.
Come and pray in the church
(service at 10 AM), or the mosque, share many cups of milk tea with
refugees, have lunch in the great restaurants, try the flat bread being
baked all day, have your hair expertly cut, or dare to have your
eyebrows even more expertly plucked with an ancient thread method.
Come ready to play football and cricket with the refugees, all afternoon!
Celebrating life while the French government destroys can be a way to protest – Let us protest together.
Practical advice:
- Park in the streets perpendicular to the rue de Garennes or right
along the rue des Gravelines . Make sure you have your documents in
order, controls are possible at the entrance.
- Bring a football,
your musical instruments, juggling balls, magic tricks, little gifts,
and anything fun and festive. Say hello, shake many hands.
And what if you can stayed till Monday when the bulldozers come back?

Demo in Paris
Gestern haben in Paris am Gare du Nord mehrere hundert Menschen (Presse spricht von 400) gegen die Teilräumung des Jungle in Calais demonstriert. Die Demo war wie schon die Demo am 1. März in Paris von "Flüchtlingen aus Paris" organisiert wurden. Die Bullen waren mit einem grossen Aufgebot vor Ort und haben mehrmals die Demo aufgestoppt.

Zwangsprostitution
Die Lage dort ist für die Minderjährigen Geflüchteten eh unerträglich. Jetzt wurde bekannt, das in dem Lager in den vergangen Monaten mindestens 7 Jungen mehrfach vergewaltigt worden sind.
Dort haben sich kriminelle Ordnungsstrukturen herausgebildet! Sagen auch meine Freunde in Frankreich. Es wäre besser, wenn die Lage wieder unter Kontrolle gebracht wird, denn Kinder sind wirklich die Schutzlosesten dort!
