Having almost lived there for months and months, I can say it is - by far - the most amazing occupation I have ever seen. Bit by bit, following the evictions and destructions of other jungles and squats, everybody got under the same roof: the Sudanese (most of whom are from Darfur), many Eritreans including many women and children, the Afghans (Pashto and Hazara), the Iranians occupying some cabins in the back of the complex... and everybody getting on just fine, it is a great result, not always different communities have been getting on so well; there was an ugly fight amongst some Eritreans who had been drinking last time I was there, that to say nothing is perfect, the living conditons are appalling and the overcrowding, the police go there every morning to arrest people - we have being doing watch for months, and never missed a morning... but what is really amazing is the relations amongst people, is more than solidarity, is brotherhood. Is the best example of dignity and humanity I have ever seen, amongst the extreme hadships imposed by the French State's racist politics. The spirit, the resistance and the humour are somthing else, go and see until Africa House is still there! Defend the House of Africa!
