Suburbs in France




COMMUNICATED THE RAGE OF THE PEOPLE

One year after the most important urban riots in this beginning of 21th century the French suburbs burn again.

Since September, three attacks against the police are committed with stones, iron bar and Molotov cocktail. Yesterday night, fire persists around Paris, 2 buses are burned and the fight against the police and authorities continue. Isn’t the school who are taken for target, in spite of an education system which excludes in the peripheral territories. They are mainly the uniform and transport. In spite of the spirit of revenge, behind the uniform this finds men and to attack them, it is to be mistaken in enemy. To tackle transport will not solve the immobility.

To build bridges over the peripherals is urgent. Since the last year nothing are realized by the authorities for change the situation. The "banlieusard" are the first generation who grows up in the globalisation economic system. The symbol of the resistance are used, without claim. As if the words missed to define an intolerable situation.

For us, the French government are illegitimate since the NO against the neo liberal constitution of European Union. Any months after the French students are said NO against the liberalisation of the work contract…Remember November 2005 and see the situation of the South countries. Who confiscates the water in the world ? Suez, Vivendi and French company. Who speak with the dictator Poutine in the G8 summit ?

Don't think that in the French suburbs we're ignorant about how the world turn. We have history, remember Black Panther, Malcom and Fela Kuti. We are conscious about our life, our situation and your hypocrisy and your police who protect your companies. We know the slavery, and the new age of colonialism. We know what happened in Ceuta and Melilla, and in the north Africa, with your european agency Frontex. We are migrants and the circulation for every people everywhere are the fundamental right. Here it burning because you build your suburbs with the misery of the South.

Chirac are in China, la France burn and you see somewhere else. After the corruption and the alliance with many dictators you want to learn the human rights and the ecology to the other countries. Hypocrit ! Isn't Sarkozy and his police who can to change anything.

Young people in a world, life and capitalism system is incompatible, growth and development are impossible without destruction.

Isn't the next days which sing, it's today.

Under the pavement is not the beach, it's the RAGE.

PS: one year ago, the communicate of the 5th November are called for a Social Forum of the Suburbs. We thinking again, that open a spaces for discussions with the civil society is a first step for advance.
