One year after the escalations in Ceuta and Melilla, a broad network of migration-related initiatives call for freedom of movement in a transnational day of action. In dozens of cities in Europe and also in Africa, manifestations and demonstrations are in preparation for 7th of October.
To organize such a day of migration-related actions was decided at the European Social Forum in May 2006, when about 15,000 people from different social movements met in Athens.
To organize such a day of migration-related actions was decided at the European Social Forum in May 2006, when about 15,000 people from different social movements met in Athens.
Since last year the militarisation of EU-migration policy has got another
instrument: Frontex! Thats the name of the new European Border Agency,
which is located in Warsaw. Frontex organised already EU-wide
charterdeportations and coordinates an operation now at the coast
of West Africa: to intensify controls by ships and airplanes to prevent
more so called African boatpeople from reaching Europe.
At the moment (September 06) still without meeting any success: every day
new boats are landing at the Canary Islands, with more people than ever
before, and some starting at about a 1200 km distance from Mauretania or
even Senegal. During the last months hundreds of people drowned or died of
hunger or of thirst when they risked this new route. And the same is
still happening in the Sicilian Channel.
European governments put increasing pressure to African countries to
become henchmen for their inhuman migration-policy. Beginning in July 06
a so-called "African European summit on migration and development" took
place in Rabat, again mainly in order to push African governments to adopt
more systems of migration-control: to implement more visa-restrictions, to
establish detention-camps, to accept "repatriation"-programms. Mainly
North and West African countries are targets of this externalisation-process
at the moment, and they are supposed to block migrants on their way
to Europe and help to deport them to the desert or subsaharan
countries.
The European governments are responsible for thousands of deaths
of African people in the last years; it is a kind of war against migrants
and refugees. The above mentioned Frontex-operation is another step in
this war, aiming again on the destruction of the (new) flight-routes.
With this backdrop the following call for actions on 7th of October is an
important step of common resistance against this inhuman policy.
Eastern European activists will protest in front of the
aforementioned Frontex-office in Warsaw, while in a press-conference in
Nouakchott the illegalisation of migration will be strictly critisized.
From London to Athens, from Hamburg to Barcelona, simultanous
demonstrations and actions are exspected in dozens of cities all over
Europe. And most important: not only in Mauretania, but also in Marocco,
Tunesia and Benin activities have been announced as well.
As you can see in the long list of signatures many more organisations from
various African countries have signed the call. They as well as many
initiatives in Europe support the 3rd Day of Action on the 7th of October,
which will be directed against the denial of rights, against the
criminalisation of migrants and against all immigration controls,
articulating clear demands within the framework of freedom of movement and
the right to stay:
- For Europe-wide unconditional legalisation and equal rights for all
migrants
- For the closure of all detention centers in Europe and everywhere
- For an end to all deportations and the externalisation process
- For the uncoupling of the residence permit from the labour contract and
against 'precarity'.

October are announced in:

The call:
3rd day of Migration-Related Actions: 7 oct 2006
all over Europe and beyond ...
19.Jun.06 - [this call is also available in french, spanish, german,
italian and greek, see www.noborder.org]
"In the name of fighting clandestine immigration, governments are adopting
repressive policies and are expanding the frontiers of wealthy nations
through centers of detention, ejections, expulsions and selection of the
labour force." (from the migration-related Appeal of Bamako/Mali at the
Polycentric World Social Forum in January 2006)
The European migration regime makes migrants 'illegal'. One of the main
measures of the European Union authorities against the movements and
struggles of migration is currently the establishment of camps and other
instruments of migration control outside Europe, in African and east
European countries (their 'externalisation').
When thousands of migrants and refugees collectively stormed the border
fences of the Spanish enclaves in Ceuta and Melilla in October last year,
the crucial demands for freedom of movement and for equal rights were
clearly brought to public attention, at least for the moment. The inhuman,
barbaric reactions, the fatal shootings and mass deportations to the
desert, mirrored the escalating level of conflict and the crisis of the
European migration regime.
But there is an ongoing process undermining this migration regime, not
only from 'outside' the borders, but also from the inside. All over
Europe, almost every day, there are social and political struggles,
protests and campaigns against camps and deportations, for asylum rights
for women and men, for legalisation, for European citizenship rights based
on residence rather than nationality and against the exploitation of
migrant labour. These struggles go far beyond any narrow understanding of
European identity.
Our new joint call for a Day of Action follows the mobilisations on 31
January 2004 and on 2 April 2005, when we held the first and second days
of action on migration in more than 50 cities across Europe. At the
European Social Forum in Athens in May 2006, the issue of migration for
the first time had its own thematic 'axis'. A growing network of
migration-related initiatives decided in the final assembly to take
another step and coordinate actions around 7 October.
Taking into account specific regional and national conditions and the
circumstances of various struggles, our Day of Action aims for resistance
at European and even transcontinental levels. Our mobilisation will make
the first moves towards Europe-wide central activities in order to develop
the idea of a common demonstration in 2007, either in Brussels or at
another place of public interest. Our aim is to address Europe as a whole
and not only national governments.
In addition the chosen date in October is a reminder of the events in
Ceuta and Melilla in 2005. We will make a particular effort to build
cooperation with initiatives in Africa. A simultaneous day of actions in
European and African cities in October would help to promote an axis on
migration in the next World Social Forum, which will take place in Nairobi
(Kenya) in January 2007. This corresponds with the Bamako Call which we
have already quoted from: 'In the period from the Bamako Forum to the one
in Nairobi, we propose a year long international mobilisation in defense
of the right of all people to circulate freely around the world and to
determine their own destiny... Finally we call for an international day of
mobilisation that could take place in the sites/symbols of the frontiers
(airports, detention centers, embassies, etc.)'.
Above all, we are determined to stress the global dimension of migrant
struggles today. Thus, we intend to connect our Day of Action with the
initiatives and ongoing mass mobilisations of the American migrants
movement in the next future.
The 3rd Day of Action will be directed against the denial of rights,
against the criminalisation of migrants and against all immigration
controls, articulating clear demands within the framework of freedom of
movement and the right to stay:
- For a European unconditional legalisation and equal rights for all migrants
- For the closure of all detention centers in Europe and everywhere
- For an end to all deportations and of the externalisation process
- For the uncoupling of the residence permit from the labour contract and
against 'precarity'.
