Germany and Tunis: letter and actions to support Choucha refugees‏

Dear friends,

as some of you already know, we – activists from Afrique Europe Interact,
the German Refugee Councils and other groups - are planning coordinated
actions to demand that the remaining refugees from Choucha will be accepted
in Germany. There will be a conference of the ministers of interior of the
federal states in the beginning of December, and we decided to write a
letter (see as attachment in English, French and German) which we will send 
out to the
ministers and to the press from today on. We will also call activists to
fax and send this letter to the ministers and to call them.

There will be also some actions to hand over the letter to the minsitries in
cities like Bremen, Wiesbaden, Mainz and Hamburg (and maybe others) on the
25th of November (or some days later).

On the same day in Tunis, about 50 refugees will go to the German Embassy
and demand resettlement for all remaining Choucha people in order to prevent
more deaths on the sea.

During the conference of the ministers of interior in the city of
Osnabrueck, there will be a press conference (probably on the 5th of
December) together with refugees from Choucha who have got resettlement in
Germany.

It would be perfect, if similar actions could also take place in other
European countries!

Hope our coordinated actions will have a positive result!

Conni
