[Dissent-fr-info] Noborder Camp Brussels

[Dissent! France Info Newsletter]

Camp from 27 of September till 3th of October included
National Manifestation at the 2th of  October

Next meeting 20-21 februari- nobordercamp at vluchteling.be

The construction of the camp or the camps will start at Saturday 25th of
September.
The activities will start at 27th of September with a big manifestation at
the 2th of
October and a day of report/evaluation day at the 3th of October.

This camp enters in the tradition of the No Border Camps organised
throughout the
world since the 90’s. Like the Camp at Calais or at Lesbos in 2009, it will
be a
space to share informations, skills and experiences. A space to prepare and
realize
actions against the system of borders that divided us all. Since the
beginning of the
year 2000, the European Union has built “a fortification of Europe” by
externalizing
his borders in Asia and Africa with the border patrol in the Mediterranean,
in Libya
and the south west coast of Africa thanks to the agency Frontex (European
Agency for
the Management of Operational Cooperation at the External Borders of the
Member
States of the European Union) and by its foreign policy that allows to pay
the
states, from Ukrainia till Morocco, by effectuating in their place the  job
of the
prevention of immigration.

The camp will claim for the freedom of circulation by all, the end of the
borders and
the migration controls. We call it a radical movement against the control
systems
that divided us between EU and non-EU citizens, between with and without
papers.
Everybody is invited to join the camp to discuss and debate the question of
the
borders and the freedom of circulation and installation, to imagine and
participate
in the actions.

The noborder camp is wide open to groups and people struggling againts
frontiers and
capitalism, and for the freedom to move and settle, but closed to attemps of
recovery
by unions and parties who would think about abusing it for their electoral
goals.

WHY BRUSSELS?

-         Brussels has an important role in European migration politics: the
European Parliament is based over there and Belgium will be the chairman,
starting on July 2010. With the No Border Camp, we want to question the
European Migration Policy and work towards a radical change.
-         Brussels is the centre of decision-making in Belgium, home base of
the
Parliament, of the headquarters of political parties, of the office of
foreign affairs, etc.
-         And at last, Brussels has a multicultural society where big
communities of migrants and people without papers live, who have been
really active in their fight. With the No Border Camp we want to make
stronger links between the activists with and without papers.
