Suspected smugglers open fire on police-Frontex officers in Evros

Four Greek border guards and two German officers, dispatched to the Greek-Turkish border by Frontex, emerged unscathed on Friday (20/5) after four suspected Turkish smugglers opened fire on them with hunting rifles. The smugglers had been preparing to disembark a group of nearly 100 migrants onto an islet in the River Evros, when they spotted two police patrol vehicles on the Greek side of the border. The suspects fired their guns in the air at first and then at the two vehicles which were a few hundred metres away. Neither the Greek nor the Frontex border guards returned fire but contacted the Turkish police that arrested a group of 97 people including the suspected smugglers. According to the Head of the Evros police officers’ Union the number of irregular immigrants entering Greece via the Evros River has increased to more than 100 per day following a brief lull.

Local reactions to announcement for detention centres

Announcement by the Citizen Protection Ministry on the establishment of 10 detention and 5 first reception centres to host over 5,000 irregular migrants has caused strong reactions in respective communities, fearing rise in criminality. According to “Initiative against Detention Centres for Migrants” in Evros, the prevailing opinion among the local community is that citizens are able to accept only improvement of living conditions in existing centres, but not the creation of new ones. Several representatives of local authorities of Igoumenitsa, Sparti, Aspropyrgos, Amfilohia, Xiromero and Elliniko have also expressed opposition to the creation of centres.

Repatriation flight for 40 Afghans
40 irregular migrants from Afghanistan who opted to voluntary repatriation departed from Athens on Monday (23/5).  Irregular migrants signing up for the repatriation program are given a ticket and 300 euros each. Their return is assisted by the International Organization for Migration (IOM) and police officers stationed at the airport. The plane's departure marks the start of the second phase of the repatriation program, since another 500 third country nationals -all lacking travel documents- are expected to be voluntary repatriated by the end of June. Another 586 irregular migrants have already been returned to their homelands during the first phase of the program.

Violence through the eyes of migrants

Racist violence against migrants in Athens centre has reached explosive dimensions in the aftermath of the murder of a 44-year-old Greek male early in May. Despite that the family of the 44-year-old has publicly denounced the exploitation of his death by the ultra nationalist group “Chryssi Avgi”, migrants’ testimonies of racist incidents rapidly spreading around are indicative of the prevailing atmosphere. “Yesterday a young Greek woman together with a young man passed me by as I was walking down the street. Suddenly the woman started to beat me on the head with a big wooden stick”, said Ali, a 20-year-old Afghan. “This happens every day in Athens centre for a long time. They beat everybody”, he added. Hassan, a 9-year-old Afghan boy was attacked together with his brother and their mother as they were on their way for the kitchen soup provided by Athens municipality. “My legs hurt me so much. I had to run a lot these days”, he said. 23-year-old Ahmad from Egypt is standing scared outside an apartment building. A few days ago he was attacked by five Greeks who raided into his home. “Police were there, watching everything”, he said.

Thousands of migrants in squalid conditions in Athens centre

Municipality services have registered over 400 sites in the centre of Athens (derelict buildings, bus shelters, parks, etc.) where homeless people including many undocumented migrants sleep in squalid conditions, among rubbish and rats.  More than 2,000 migrants living in the triangle of Geraniou, Pireos and Sofokleous Streets are practically homeless. According to a report by the Greek Ombudsman, a great number of irregular migrants live in rented apartments of the centre in conditions that are beyond all tolerable limits of decent human living. Meanwhile, owners rent inadequate rooms at extremely high rates. Ahmed from Somalia lives with his wife and five children in a 10 square metres room that he rents for 200 euros per month.

Greece following Spanish model for Evros fence

Greece is studying Spain’s use of border fences, in two of its cities on the North African coast, ahead of the construction of a similar barrier to irregular migration in the northeastern region of Evros. The construction in Melilla consists of 11 kilometers of parallel 3-meter high fences topped with barbed wire, with video cameras, regular watchtowers and a road running between them to accommodate either police patrols or ambulances. The fence in Ceuta is similarly equipped. The construction of the fences in Ceuta and Melilla has produced results,” said Deputy Labour Minister Anna Dalara. There is also a reception centre there, which helps for the proper treatment of undocumented migrants (medical care, social and psychological support, legal aid etc.) Dalara also noted that Spain had not just relied on fences to tackle immigration problems but has also put into place integration policies in which local authorities play a big part.

Intercultural mediators to be placed in 21 hospitals

109 trained intercultural mediators will be placed in 21 hospitals in Athens and Thessaloniki in order to help immigrants communicate with hospital staff in their language and explain their medical history. According to specialists, immigrants’ access to public health services will contribute to their integration in the Greek society.

Asylum granting – an impossible dream

Asylum seekers in Thessaloniki may wait up to 2 years to be granted a pink card, according to a report by the Greek Council for Refugees (GCR) that was presented during a seminar titled “Political Asylum and immigration: Challenges for Greece and Europe” that was organized by the Aristoteleio University of Thessaloniki and GCR. This was the case of an asylum seeker from Nigeria who was holding an “Administrative Note” from the local Aliens Directorate for about one and a half years instead of the pink card which he received in April 2011 after having submitted his application in October 2009.  Moreover, foreigners who want to apply for asylum do not receive proper information on the procedure, while there is also a lack of interpreters.

Composer’s comments on migrants cause stir    

Comments by the respected Greek composer Dionysis Savvopoulos, according to which undocumented immigrants living in central Athens, should be sent to sparsely-inhabited Aegean islands for farm work under the aegis of the UN Refugee Agency, has caused a stir. Speaking to Athens municipal radio Savvopoulos said that the problems being caused by a burgeoning population of irregular migrants in the city’s historic centre were overwhelming and called on authorities to declare a state of emergency and remove all migrants from the area. “Athens cannot become the dumping ground for all these people,” Savvopoulos said, noting, however, a few days later that “legal migrants and people entitled to asylum should not be affected”.

ΑΝΑΚΟΙΝΩΣΗ

Έμεις οι Αφγανοί πολιτικοί πρόσφυγες που διαφύγαμε από μια χώρα του πολέμου και δικτατορικού καθεστώτων. το Αφγανιστάν που είναι μία χώρα που επί δεκαετίες σπαράζεται και υποφέρει από πολεμικές συρράξεις και συγκρούσεις, όχι μόνο από το εσωτερικό τρομοκρατικό καθεστώς των Ταλιμπάν, αλλά και από τους δήθεν υποστηρικτές της ειρήνης που επί χρόνια τώρα «προσπαθούν» με δυνάμεις κατοχής να φέρουν την ειρήνη που ποτέ δεν έρχεται...
Έμεις οι Αφγανοί πολιτικοί πρόσφυγες μετά από πολλά χρόνια διαμονής μας στην Ελλάδα δύνουμε ενα αγώνα στα προπύλαια από 22 Νοέμβρη 2010 και διεκδικούμε τη χορήγηση πολιτικού ασύλου στην Ελλάδα. Μετά από απεργία πείνας και κινοτοποίησεις μας βγήκαν Οι πρώτες θετικές αποφάσεις για απόδοση ασύλου γεμίζουν με αισιοδοξία μας στα Προπύλαια.

Σε αυτούς τους 6 μήνες είχαμε την στήριξη χιλιάδων φοιτητών και των συλλόγων για την οργάνωση της καμπάνιας στα Προπύλαια με μάζεμα υπογραφών και δράσεις ένα αγώνα διαρκείας, Μάζεψαμε πάνω από δέκα χιλιάδες υπογραφές στο αίτημα για πολιτικό άσυλο.

Η κυβέρνηση όμως χρονοτριβεί απελπιστικά και εξετάζει με ρυθμούς σαλιγκαριού τις αιτήσεις. Εμεις οι Αφγανοί πρόσφυγες στα Προπύλαια επιμένουμε να διεκδικούμε το αυτονόητο: ότι πρέπει να αντιμετωπιστούμε σύμφωνα με τα δικαιώματα μας τόσο με βάση την κοινή λογική όσο και με βάση τις διεθνείς συμβάσεις. Η εκδήλωση και η συναυλία με το Μίκη Θεοδωράκη την Τρίτη στα Προπύλαια είναι από τις δεκάδες που έγιναν όλο το χρονικό διάστημα που διαρκεί η κινητοποίηση μας και όπως και οι άλλες θα τύχουν του ίδιου σεβασμού.

Αυτή τη βρόμικη ρατσιστική εκστρατεία που κορυφώθηκε με το φασιστικό πογκρόμ των νεοναζί στο κέντρο της Αθήνας καπηλευόμενοι τη δολοφονία του Μανώλη Καντάρη επιχειρούν να συνεχίσουν βάζοντας πίεση στο Πρύτανη του Πανεπιστημίου της Αθήνας ώστε να μας διώξει μέχρι Δευτέρα 30/5/2011/από τα Προπύλαια.


Καλούμε όλων των φοιτητών, των εργαζομένων, και αντιραστιστηκές οργανώσεις, και κάθε ελέυθερο πολίτη να βρεθεί τη Δευτέρα 30/5/2011/ 8πμ να στηρίξει αυτό τον αγώνα μέχρι τη τελική δικαίωση.

Κάτω τα χέρια από τους Αφγανούς πρόσφυγες των Προπυλαίων

Hands of from Afghan refugees in Propylaea



The Rector of the University of Athens threatening forcible removal Afghan refugees have set up information kiosks in Propylaea. Citing a manifestation of the spark of Mikis Theodorakis and "citizens' complaints about the image of the city," Mr. Dean is threatening to call the riot police to evict the refugees. What if the Afghan refugees entitled to asylum both under common sense and based on international agreements? What if, for months the government is deaf to illegally claim the law? What if I have done dozens of events in Propylaea without creating any problems the pavilions of the refugees? What if in this case there are no excuses of "violence" nor the "prevention education capacities?" Mr. Dean for all you are interested to put his own bit to Building a clean city where the explosive social problems will be hidden under the mat, and will be excluded entirely invisible to the public. So we need to do this clear: Any attempt against the Afghan refugees is a total assault on the rights and freedoms of all.
Κάτω τα χέρια από τους Αφγανούς πρόσφυγες των Προπυλαίων



Ο Πρύτανης του Πανεπιστημίου Αθηνών απειλεί με βίαιη απομάκρυνση τους Αφγανούς πρόσφυγες που έχουν στήσει ενημερωτικά κιόσκια στα Προπύλαια. Επικαλούμενος μια εκδήλωση της Σπίθας του Μίκη Θεοδωράκη, καθώς και "παράπονα πολιτών για την εικόνα της πόλης", ο κ. Πρύτανης απειλεί να καλέσει τα ΜΑΤ για να διώξουν τους πρόσφυγες. Τι κι αν οι Άφγανοι πρόσφυγες δικαιούνται άσυλο τόσο με βάση την κοινή λογική όσο και με βάση τις διεθνείς συμβάσεις; Τι και αν για μήνες η κυβέρνηση παρανόμως κωφέυει στο δίκαιο αίτημα τους; Τι κι αν έχουν γίνει δεκάδες εκδηλώσεις στα Προπύλαια χωρίς να δημιουργηθεί κανένα πρόβλημα με τα κιόσκια των προσφύγων; Τι κι αν σε αυτήν την περίπτωση δεν υπάρχουν τα προσχήματα ούτε της "βίας", αλλά ούτε και της "παρεμπόδισης εκπαιδευτικών λειτουργιών"; Ο κ. Πρύτανης για το μόνο που ενδιαφέρεται είναι να βάλει το δικό του λιθαράκι στην οικοδόμηση μιας "καθαρής" πόλης όπου τα εκρηκτικά κοινωνικά προβλήματα θα κρύβονται κάτω από το χαλάκι, και οι αποκλεισμένοι θα είναι παντελώς αόρατοι στο δημόσιο χώρο. Πρέπει λοιπόν να το κάνουμε ξεκάθαρο: Κάθε απόπειρα εναντίον των Αφγανών προσφύγων είναι επίθεση συνολικά στα δικαιώματα και τις ελευθερίες όλων μας.

Igoumenitsa/Greece: Mountain-jungles threatened by eviction

komunisia_small
On May 21st the Greek government announced in the TV-channel SKAI their new plans of repression. In a period of massive fascist pogroms in Athens, they react with more police, massive arrests and the construction of 14 new detention and deportation centres. One of them should be close to Igoumenitsa. Additionally, the government said, it was already conducting police raids in Igoumenitsa and further actions would include the eviction of the informal settlements of the sans-papiers in the jungles of Igoumenitsa. There have been around 400 arrests during the last weeks and the police announced to arrest the (as they say) 300 remaining migrants.
Igoumenitsa is the second largest exit-port for migrants from Greece to Italy. Around 500-700 refugees from all war-zones of the world (Sudanese, Eritreans, Afghans, Saharaouis from Morocco, Iraqis, Kurds and Maghrebinias) are living under inhuman and degrading conditions in the mountains close to the port, waiting for their chance to leave Greece and find a safe haven in the North – “the real Europe” as they say. There are quiet a lot of migrants who stay in Igoumenitsa for many months now. Many of them made it already several times to the Italian ports but were deported before being able to leave the port or apply for asylum. A lot of people have been deported from European countries before due to the DublinII Regulation.
komunisia2_small
They are living in small huts without water or electricity or any sanitary infrastructure. Most of the sans-papiers have totally run out of money. They can not afford to buy food. Every night you see people searching for food in the garbage. They are starving from hunger.!

Greek ‘left’ composer proposes immigrants to be transfered to uninhabited islands

Comments by the respected composer Dionysis Savvopoulos, according to which undocumented immigrants living in central Athens, should be sent to sparsely-inhabited Aegean islands for farm work under the aegis of the United Nations refugee agency, caused a stir on Thursday.
Speaking to Athens City Hall municipal radio station, 984, Savvopoulos said on Wednesday that the problems being caused by a burgeoning population of illegal immigrants in the city’s historic center were overwhelming and called on authorities to declare a state of emergency and remove all migrants from the area.
“Athens cannot become the dumping ground for all these people,” Savvopoulos said, noting that the capital should bar access to any new migrants until the European Union drafts a more effective policy for the repatriation of economic migrants.
Responding to objections by journalist Angelos Tsekeris that exiling immigrants to rocky islets might not be the ideal solution to the city’s problems, Savvopoulos remarked, “it is time to decide whether to live or die.”
The composer also drew attention to the scourge of drug dealing and suggested that all derelict buildings currently being occupied by drug addicts be evacuated and renovated.
The drug addicts can be transferred to areas where drug dealers cannot easily find them, he added

Evros: Border guards unhurt in shooting

Four Greek border guards and two German commandos dispatched to the Greek-Turkish frontier by Frontex, the European Union’s border monitoring agency, emerged unscathed on Friday after four suspected Turkish people smugglers opened fire on them with hunting rifles.
The smugglers had been preparing to disembark a group of nearly 100 would-be migrants onto an islet in the River Evros, which forms part of Greece’s land border with Turkey, when they spotted two police patrol vehicles on the Greek side of the border.
The suspects fired their guns in the air first, presumably as a warning for the Greek-German contingent to retreat. Seeing no reaction, the smugglers started firing at the two vehicles which were a few hundred meters away.
Neither the Greek border guards nor the Frontex officials returned fire but contacted the Turkish police by radio to inform them of the incident. Turkish authorities reacted quickly, arresting a group of 97 people including the suspected smugglers. The ethnic origin of the would-be migrants remained unclear.
Speaking to Kathimerini, the head of the Evros police officers’ union, Constantinos Hatzianagnostou, said yesterday that the number of illegal immigrants entering Greece via the Evros River has increased to more than 100 per day following a brief lull.
Earlier this week, Citizens’ Protection Minister Christos Papoutsis said that a European Union-subsidized project to build a fence along the Greek-Turkish border to keep out would-be migrants was moving forward. The minister also heralded the construction of several new migrant reception centers.

پاکستان حامی تروریزم

اعلامیه انجمن حقوقدانان افغان در اروپا:

اگر اسامه بن لادن واجب القتل است. پس میزبان، حامیان و مدعوین آن مستوجب کدام مجازات باید باشند؟
 

پاکستان به حیث مرکز تروریزم، سالهاست که خطرات جدی را متوجه جهان ساخته است. نه تنها افغانستان ازسال 1973 میلادی به بعد بزرگترین قربانی این مرکز تروریستی است، بلکه سرنخ حوادث تراژیدی ازنیویارک تا بمبئی و از دارالسلام تا یمن و روسیه، به شبکه های مرتبط به القاعده ارتباط داده شده است که رهبری آن در پاکستان مورد حمایت استخبارات و نظامیان آن کشور قرار دارد.

قتل سردسته ارعابیون القاعده (اسامه بن لادن) در حومه اسلام آباد ( که به شیوه انتقام گیری طراز امریکائی انجام یافت)، یکباردیگر زمامداران مکار و دو رخ پاکستان را مجبورساخت تا اعتراف نمایند که : شرمنده اند .

اکنون این سوال مطرح میگردد که : اگر اسامه بن لادن واجب القتل است. پس میزبان، حامیان و مدعوین آن مستوجب کدام مجازات باید باشند؟

در حالیکه سرنوشت افغانستان، حال و آتیه آن، صلح و امنیت منطقه و جهان مطرح است، بسیارضروری پنداشته میشود تا ملل متحد این مسئله را مورد بررسی قرار بدهد که چرا پاکستان هم عضو ملل متحد است وهم منشور آن موسسه را زیر پا میگذارد و بصورت متداوم تعهدات خویش را نقض مینماید؟

در حالیکه وفا به عهد و اجرای تعهدات یک اصل قبول شده حقوق بین الملل پنداشته میشود (Pacta Sunt Servanda )

در این ارتباط نه تنها مسئولیت اخلاقی (Moral Obligation) پاکستان مطرح است بلکه شورای امنیت ملل متحد باید براساس « تهدید صلح، نقض صلح یا عمل تجاوز » اصل ( United Natians Sancations ) را در رابطه به پاکستان مورد بررسی قرار بدهد. بدین رو اکنون دیگر اظهر من الشمس است که حمایت، مخفی کردن، تجهز و تسلیح تروریستان توسط اردو و استخبارات نظامی دولت پاکستان قرار میگیرد. باید شورای امنیت موسسه ملل متحد بر وفق احکام منشور آن موسسه موضوع را بررسی و پاکستان را به حیث حامی تروریزم اعلام نماید. و واضح است که بر کشور حامی تروریزم برطبق اصل ( Legal Settelement Sancations) تعزیرات شدید را بر آن کشور وضع و برقرار نماید. این تعزیرات میتواند شامل قطع کمکهای نظامی به تعویق انداختن و مشروط ساختن کمکها و سایر تدابیر جدی باشد.

اعترافات بلند پایه گان پاکستان درعجزشان مبنی براعمال حاکمیت دولتی که باعث شرمنده گی آن کشور گردیده، این سوال رامطرح مینماید که شبکه تروریزم جهانی در پاکستان که با اردو واستخبارات ( ISI) دارای روابط تنگا تنگ است با نظرداشت سابقه جرمی پاکستان در نادیده انگاشتن کنوانسیون ( N.P.T) در پخش و اشاعه غیر قانونی تکنالوژی اتمی توسط پدر اتمی آن کشور(که عندالامحکمه بدان اعتراف کرد) ضرور پنداشته میشود تا شورای امنیت موسسه ملل متحد ، دستگاه نظامی اتمی پاکستان را در تحت پوشش نظارت بین المللی قرار بدهد.

نباید سرنوشت یک کشور( افغانستان )، امنیت شهروندان جهان و صلح، قربانی سهل انگاریها گردد. مدتهاست که بسیاری اززمامداران جهان و منجمله ایالات متحده امریکا از سیاستهای دوگانه و مزورانه پاکستان استغاثه دارند. اما کجاست که به سیاستهای کجدار و مریز، بخصوص از جانب ایالات متحده امریکا در قبال این کشور پایان داده شود. (ریشه تروریزم را در پاکستان آبیاری وشاخه بری آن درافغانستان وازدیاد قوای نظامی تا سرحد یکصدوپنجاه هزار برضد تجاوز سازمان یافته در وجود طالبان از پاکستان « دوست ومتحد انگلیس ـ امریکا » بسیار سوال بر انگیز است)

انجمن حقوقدانان افغان در اروپا به حیث یک نهاد مسلکی وغیر وابسته از تمام افغانان هم از شخصیتهای علمی، فرهنگی، نهادهای مدنی، اجتماعی و سیاسی صمیمانه میخواهد که در این راستا به حیث یک داعیه ملی بالاتر از تعلقات قومی، زبانی، سمتی و ایدولوژیک صدای اعتراض شان را مشترک و رساتر نمایند. انجمن از اعضا ومسئوولین خود میخواهد که این اعلامیه را به لسانهای مختلف ترجمه و دراختیار موسسه ملل متحد ومطبوعات قرار بدهند.

New pogrom against migrants in Athens centre

In the early morning hours of the 10th May a theft ended up in the tragic murder of a come-to-be father in the centre of Athens. During the following hours of the day, the media started reporting about “three dark skinned suspects”, hence, initiating a propaganda which ended up in a manhunt by fascists of the extreme right group “golden dawn” on all migrants in the centre of the city.

Abdullah opposes peace with Taliban

KABUL(PAN): President Hamid Karzai's principal political rival on Thursday warned of mobilising street protests if the Afghan government did not heed his views on dealing with the Taliban insurgency.
Dr. Abdullah Abdullah, leader of the Coalition for Change and Hope, and former intelligence chief Amarullah Saleh vehemently opposed peace with the Taliban who executed orders from foreign spy services and spilled the blood of innocent Afghans.
Addressing a huge gathering in Kabul, Abdullah branded Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden as a "criminal and traitor" and said his followers had assassinated Northern Alliance commander Ahmad Shah Massoud.
Denouncing the incumbent government as incompetent, the ex-foreign minister alleged: "Karzai has asked 40 countries of the world to mislead the people and play with Afghans' destiny."
He said the government had been able to make any achievements during Karzai's second tenure as president. A majority of Afghans desired peace only if it did not lead to war, he added.

Pakistan Army, Spy Agency Backed Osama: Officials

Leader of al-Qaeda terrorist network was supported by Pakistani army and intelligence agency, a top Afghan security official said on Tuesday.
Top Afghan security officials, including Defence and Interior Ministers as well as Deputy Chief of National Directorate of Security were summoned to the Senate House on Tuesday.
Briefing senators on security situation in the country, the officials said the death of Osama Bin Laden in Pakistan is a proof that insurgent safe havens and sanctuaries are in Pakistan.
The international community should understand this reality, officials emphasised.
"He was not having a guerrilla style life there. Pakistan's army and Inter Services-intelligence (ISI) were supporting him," Interior Minister Gen. Besmellah Mohammadi told senators.
Suicide attacks should be prevented from the places where they are masterminded and organised, Defence Minister Gen. Rahim Wardak said.
"The commanding system of al-Qaeda had lost its focus. They were not controlled from one single location," Gen. Rahim Wardak said. "It could bring a change in the intensity of war in the long run."
Government Information and Media Centre has said international community should target other insurgent leaders, including leader of the Taliban Mullah Mohammad Omar outside Afghan borders the same as Osama Bin Laden was targeted.
"We hope all those responsible for death of innocent people in Afghanistan and all across the world face their due punishment," Head of Government Information and Media Centre Hakim Asher told TOLOnews.
Analysts say other militant leaders, including the Taliban leader Mullah Mohammad Omar, leader of Hezb-e-Islami Gulbuddin Hekmatyar, and leader of the Haqqani network are in Pakistan being directly supported by Pakistan's ISI.
"The bottom line is Pakistan's spy agency that wants to support and fuel these extremist insurgent groups in pursuit of their national interests," Afghanistan's former ambassador in Britain Ahmad Wali Massoud told TOLOnews.

Pakistan Faces Embarrassing Questions Over Bin Laden

Pakistan has faced tough questions from the US on Monday about how Osama Bin Laden could hole himself up near the capital city of Islamabad, Reuters reports.
The questions came a day after the al-Qaeda leader was killed in a special operation of US forces in Abbottabad not so far from Islamabad.
The disclosure that the al-Qaeda leader was hiding in a compound in Abbottabad is believed to further strain relations between Pakistan and the United States.
Pakistan has always denied that terrorist sanctuaries exist on its soil.
Some of the Pakistani officials in the past had repeatedly commented that Bin Laden was hiding somewhere in the mountains on the Afghan side of the border.
In a White House report previously published, Pakistan was criticised for not being serious in the fight against terrorism.
Pakistani officials then dismissed the report and stressed that Pakistan was a key ally of the United States in the war on terror.
After the news about Osma Bin Laden's death emerged, the Afghan President Hamid Karzai appeared at a press conference describing the al-Qaeda leader as the murderer of Afghan people.
President Karzai said the revelation that Bin Laden was holed up in Pakistan proved that the Afghan people were right.
He said he had always emphasised that the war against terrorism should not be waged in the Afghan villages where there are no terrorists.
"We have always said that terrorists must be targeted in their sanctuaries and in the place where they are fueled, not in Afghan villages where there is no terrorism," Mr Karzai said at a press conference in Kabul yesterday.
Meanwhile,the former Chief of the Afghan National Directorate of Security, Amrullah Saleh, told TOLOnews on Monday that Pakistan is the commanding centre of the Taliban and insurgency in Afghanistan.
He said it was impossible for a nuclear armed country to be unaware of the whereabouts of al-Qaeda leader on its soil.
"Murder of Osmaba Bin Laden on Pakistani territory proved that the Afghans were right," Mr Saleh said.
Osama Bin Laden was killed in a compound in Abbottabad yesterday along with his son and two couriers whom the US intelligence had kept an eye on to track Bin Laden. A woman who was used as a shield was also reported killed and some other women were injured during the firefight in which Bin Laden himself had taken part.
Bin Laden's wife has not been killed in the operation, according to the White House.
Meanwhile, Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari has said Pakistani forces had not been involved in the US operation against Bin Laden.

ΓΙΑ ΤΟΥΣ ΑΦΓΑΝΟΥΣ ΠΡΟΣΦΥΓΕΣ



Το Δ.Σ. της ΟΛΜΕ εκφράζει την αλληλεγγύη του στον αγώνα των 87 Αφγανών προσφύγων που βρίσκονται στα Προπύλαια του Πανεπιστημίου από τις 22 Νοεμβρίου του 2010 διεκδικώντας τα δικαιώματά τους. Ουσιαστικά διωγμένοι από τη χώρα τους, η οποία σπαράσσεται από πολεμικές συρράξεις και συγκρούσεις μεταξύ των Νατοϊκών δυνάμεων και των Ταλιμπάν, με αποτέλεσμα τρομοκρατικές επιθέσεις, δολοφονίες, λεηλασίες, απαγωγές παιδιών κ.λπ. βρίσκονται στην Ελλάδα περίπου 10 χρόνια (κατά μέσο όρο), διεκδικώντας το δικαίωμά τους σε μια αξιοπρεπή ζωή.



Μετά από αγώνες (όπως απεργία πείνας με ραμμένα στόματα) η Επιτροπή Ασύλου δεσμεύτηκε να εξετάσει κατά προτεραιότητα το αίτημά τους για πολιτικό άσυλο σύμφωνα με τις επιταγές των διεθνών συνθηκών «για χώρα που βρίσκεται σε εμπόλεμη κατάσταση και σε συνθήκες ανθρωπιστικής καταστροφής».Μέλος της Παγκόσμιας Συνδικαλιστικής Ομοσπονδίας (Π.Σ.Ο.)

ΑΝΑΚΟΙΝΩΣΗ
Η πολυήμερη απεργία πείνας των Αφγανών προσφύγων που έχουν υποβάλει αίτημα ασύλου και καθυστερεί αδικαιολόγητα η απόφαση, αναδεικνύει τις σοβαρές ευθύνες της κυβέρνησης του ΠΑΣΟΚ, όπως και της προηγούμενης της ΝΔ, που υλοποιώντας την αντιμεταναστευτική – αντιπροσφυγική πολιτική της ΕΕ, έχουν οδηγήσει σε τραγικό αδιέξοδο χιλιάδες πρόσφυγες, που ζητούν καταφύγιο στη χώρα μας.

Το ανελέητο κυνήγι των εξαθλιωμένων προσφύγων στα σύνορα της χώρας με την αποφασιστική συμβολή του επεμβατικού οργανισμού FRONTEX της ΕΕ. Η ουσιαστική στέρηση της δυνατότητας υποβολής αιτήματος ασύλου στους περισσότερους. Οι άθλιες συνθήκες κράτησής τους που σύμφωνα με Οδηγία της ΕΕ αλλά και της ελληνικής νομοθεσίας μπορεί να φτάνει μέχρι και τους 18 μήνες. Η συσσώρευση χιλιάδων αιτημάτων ασύλου που εκκρεμούν χωρίς εξέταση αλλά και η απόρριψη της συντριπτικής πλειοψηφίας όσων εξετάζονται, σε συνδυασμό με την εφαρμογή του Κανονισμού του Δουβλίνου της ΕΕ που δεν επιτρέπει την υποβολή αιτήματος ασύλου σε άλλο κράτος – μέλος της, κρατώντας έτσι εγκλωβισμένους και χωρίς δικαιώματα χιλιάδες πρόσφυγες στη χώρα μας, είναι μερικές πλευρές αυτής της βάρβαρης πολιτικής.

Η συγκρότηση και λειτουργία των επιτροπών οι οποίες πλέον θα απαντάνε στο αίτημα του ασύλο, δεν εξασφαλίζουν τη απλούστευση των διαδικασιών και τη δικαίωση των χιλιάδων αιτήσεων που εκκρεμούν. Απλά συνεχίζουν την ίδια αντιμεταναστευτική και αντιπροσφυγική πολιτική.

Το ΠΑΜΕ ζητά άμεσα:

- Την εξασφάλιση του δικαιώματος υποβολής αιτήματος ασύλου σε όλους τους πρόσφυγες που καταφεύγουν στη χώρα μας.

- Τη χορήγηση ασύλου ή επικουρικής προστασίας στους προερχόμενους από χώρες ιμπεριαλιστικών επεμβάσεων, κατοχής και εμφυλίων συρράξεων. Σε κάθε περίπτωση να δοθεί άδεια παραμονής στους αιτούντες άσυλο (κατόχους ροζ κάρτας) ιδιαίτερα σε εκείνους που ζουν και εργάζονται χρόνια στην Ελλάδα.

- Την ανάληψη από το κράτος της αποτελεσματικής φροντίδας και προστασίας των προσφύγων, ιδιαίτερα των ασυνόδευτων ανήλικων.

- Τη διακοπή της λειτουργίας και την απομάκρυνση του Οργανισμού FRONTEX από το έδαφος και τα σύνορα της χώρας μας. Η ΕΚΤΕΛΕΣΤΙΚΗ ΓΡΑΜΜΑΤΕΙΑ

USA best partenr killed by his best freinds.USA

Finally the US government announced they have killed their god-son, Osama bin Laden in Pakistan. The USA, for its own political interests, created and funded Al-Qaeda and Osama during the Cold War. After the 9/11 terrorist attacks, they attributed it to Al-Qaeda and for its future strategic and military plans tried to portray this group more dangerous and strong than its reality through propaganda.


Fighting Al-Qaeda was an excuse for the US to occupy Afghanistan and Iraq under the name of “war on terror” so it could maintain its supremacy in the world.

During initial attacks on Afghanistan in 2001, the Bush administration thought they still need Osama as a good player in their drama of “war on terror” so he was allowed to run away from Tora Bora. And without any doubt they know his location in the past 10 years through their intelligence and technological means, but did not try to kill him.

Now that the US government and its allies face strong pressure from their public against war in Afghanistan, Iraq, and now in Libya and also economic crisis and poverty in these countries, they try to divert public opinion to another direction by killing Osama and also want to show that spending hundreds of billions of Dollar and killing of their soldiers is not fruitless.

Soon we will witness that the US will enter a new player as its enemy No.1 in the field and use it for its mission to rule the world. In every stage the US govt. needs a fabricated enemy to go to war.

Over the past decades, the people of Afghanistan were the prime victims of the US-created terrorist bands of Taliban and Al-Qaeda, and they faced atrocities, destruction and many miseries in their hands. And now killing of Osama does not seem to have any direct benefit for them, because Osama was finished ten years ago and it was a nightmare of him used by the US government. Our people will breath in peace and only when the ignorant idea and fundamentalism of Osamas and Mullah Omers and the like are sent to dustbin of our history
بالاخره دولت امریکا اعلام کرد که پسرخوانده اش اسامه بن لادن را در پاکستان به قتل رسانیده است. امریکا برای مقاصد سیاسی اش در جریان جنگ سرد اسامه و القاعده را راه اندازی و تمویل کرد. بعد حملات تروریستی یازدهم سپتامبر را به گروه القاعده نسبت داد و برای پیشبرد اهداف استراتژیک و نظامی‌ اش این گروه را خطر درجه یک برای جهان معرفی کرد و آنرا ...قوی تر از واقعیتش تبلیغ کرد.

در وجود القاعده و زیر نام "جنگ علیه تروریزم" زمینه اشغال افغانستان و عراق برای امریکا میسر شد تا بدینگونه برای حفظ موقعیتش به مثابه سوپرپاور چپاولگری نماید.

در جریان حمله به افغانستان در سال 2001، دولت بوش تشخیص داد که برای پیشبرد درامه "جنگ علیه ترور" هنوز اسامه بازیگر خوب و مورد نیازش میباشد بنا راه فرار را برای او از توره بوره باز گذاشت و بدون شک طی ده سال گذشته نیز با استفاده از شبکه وسیع جاسوسی و تکنولوژیکش از موقعیت اسامه واقف بود اما به او آسیبی نرسانید.

حال که دولت امریکا و متحدین غربی اش بعلت جنگ های بی پایان افغانستان و عراق، جنگ تازه در لیبی و بحران اقتصادی و فقر زیر فشار فزاینده مردم شان مواجهند، خواستند با کشتن اسامه افکار عامه را به سوی دیگری منحرف نمایند و مصارف صدها میلیارد دالری و کشته شدن سربازان شان را موجه جلوه دهند.

به زودی هویدا خواهد شد که امریکا در نبود اسامه چه بازیگری جدیدی را به مثابه دشمنش وارد میدان کرده به نفع جهانکشایی اش مورد استفاده قرار خواهد داد. دولت امریکا در هر مرحله به یک دشمن خودساخته نیاز دارد که جنگ راه اندازد.

مردم نگونبخت افغانستان طی چندین دهه گذشته بیش از هر کس از وجود تروریست های آدمکش القاعده و طالبان، که هردو محصولات امریکا بودند، ستم و رنج و بربادی را متحمل شدند و حال هم کشته شدن اسامه به نظر نمیرسد که سودی مستقیم برای مردم ما در پی داشته باشد، چون اسامه در واقع ده سال قبل از بین رفته بود و این تنها کابوس او بود که بوسیله امریکا مورد استفاده قرار میگرفت. مردم ما زمانی میتوانند نفسی به راحتی بکشند که افکار بنیادگرایی و تاریک اندیشی اسامه ها و ملاعمر ها و .... به زباله دان
تاریخ سپرده شوند

Osama Bin Laden Killed in Pakistan آمریکا اسامه بن لادن را کشت

Osama Bin Laden has been killed in a special operation near Islamabad in Pakistan, US President Barack Obama says.

US forces have reportedly took possession of Bin Laden's body after a firefight.
President Obama said the operation was carried out by a small number of Americans.
"I report to the American people and to the world, the United States has conducted an operation that killed Osama Bin Laden, the leader of al-Qaeda and a terrorist who was responsible for the murder of thousands of innocent men, women and children," President Obama announced in a televised address on Sunday night.
He said that after 9/11 the United States quickly learnt that the attacks were carried out by al-Qaeda headed by Osama Bin Laden which had openly declared war on the United States and was committed to killing innocents in the US and around the globe.
" And so we went to war against al-Qaeda to protect our citizens, our friends and our allies over the last ten years," he said.
President Obama thanked "the tireless and heroic work" of US military and counter terrorism professionals saying his country had made great strides in the effort.
"We've disrupted terrorist attacks and strengthened our home land defence. In Afghanistan we removed the Taliban government which had given Bin Laden and al-Qaeda safe haven and support. And around the globe we worked with our friends and allies to capture or kill scores of al-Qaeda terrorists including several who were a part of the 9/11 plot," said Mr Obama.
British Prime Minister David Cameron also made a televised address saying the news would be welcomed right across the UK.
"Of course it does not mark the end of the threat we face from extremist terror, but it's I believe a massive step forward, he said.
Mr Cameron said Osama Bin Laden was responsible for the death of thousands of innocent men, women and children of every race a religion right a cross the world including the death of many many British citizens both in the UK and other parts of the world.
" I would like to congratulate those who carried out this brave action. I would like to thank President Obama for ordering this action and think it is a moment we should thank all of those who were day and night, often with no recognition, to keep as safe from the threat of terror," said Cameron.
The Taliban have confirmed Bin Laden's death.
As the news emerged crowds gathered outside the White House to celebrate.
US embassies in the worlds have been put on alert because of the possible al-Qaeda attacks.
Bin Laden was considered the most wanted by the United States with a $25m reward on his head.
The al-Qaeda leader was accused of masterminding many attacks against US targets including the 9/11 attack in New York in which 3,000 people lost their lives.
Osama Bin Laden's whereabout was not clear after the US-led invasion of Afghanistan but there were speculation he was hiding somewhere in Pakistan. However, Pakistanis officials had claimed he was somewhere in the mountains on the Afghan side of the border.
Meanwhile, MSNBC reports that the trail that led to Bin Laden began before 9/11.
A senior official in Obama administration has told MSNBC in a background briefing from the White House that the US had started gathering information on people with close relations to Osama Bin Laden from the time he was regognised as a threat.
Detainess had given information to the US on couriers of Osama Bin Laden out of whom one courier in particular has the US attention.
The learnt the man's name in 2007, and in 2009 identified areas in Pakistan where the courier and his brother were active.
Finally it was in August 2010 that the US found their residence in an isolated area in Abbaottabad.
The US intelligence described the residence discovered as a custom built compound to hide someone of significance.
The US had soon found out that a third family lived there in addition to the two brothers, and then learnt that Bin Laden and his youngest wife resided there.
Then the operation was carried out in which a US helicopter was lost, but no Americans died and all of them could safely leave the area by helicopters.
The exact number of Americans involved in the operation has not been disclosed.
The operation team was reportedly in the compound for about 40 minutes without encountering any local officials.
According to unnamed officials quoted by MSNBC, Bin Laden himself had taken part in the firefight.
Bin Laden, his son and two couriers were killed in the firefight, and one woman used as a shield was also killed while some other women in the compound got hurt whose identities have yet to be known.
There are also unconfirmed reports that Bin Laden's body had been buried at sea.
باراک اوباما اعلام کرد کماندوهای آمریکایی طی عملیاتی اسامه بن لادن رهبر شبکه القاعده و عامل حملات یازده سپتامبر را کشته اند.
وی گفت که بن لادن روز یکشنبه در پناهگاهی در پاکستان کشته شد و جسدش در اختیار آمریکا است.
ساعاتی بعد از قول مقام های آمریکایی گفته شد که جسد او را به دریا انداختند.
با انتشار خبر کشته شدن رهبر شبکه القاعده، گروهی از مردم در اطراف کاخ سفید در واشنگتن تجمع کردند و به ابراز شادمانی پرداختند.
آقای اوباما که اواخر یکشنبه شب در کاخ سفید صحبت می کرد، گفت پس از آغاز ریاست جمهوری خود، لئون پانتا را به ریاست سازمان سیا منصوب و به او تاکید کرد که اولویت اصلی آمریکا در جنگ با القاعده دستگیری و یا کشتن اسامه بن لادن است.
وی افزود در ماه اوت سال گذشته تیم امنیت ملی کاخ سفید به او گفتند که اطلاعاتی بدست آورده اند که ممکن است به یافتن بن لادن منجر شود و سرانجام هفته پیش با تکمیل شدن این اطلاعات دستور انجام عملیات علیه رهبر القاعده صادر شد.
هزاران نفر در اطراف کاخ سفید به شادی مشغولند
رئیس جمهور آمریکا گفت یک تیم کوچک عملیاتی آمریکا روز یکشنبه به محل اختفای اسامه بن لادن در پاکستان حمله کرد و موفق به کشتن او شد.
این گروه به ساختمانی در شهر ابیت آباد، واقع در حدود یکصد و پنجاه کیلومتری اسلام آباد، پایتخت پاکستان، حمله کرد و موفق به کشتن او شد.
مقامات آمریکایی گفته بودند که سنت های اسلامی در مورد جنازه اسامه بن لادن رعایت می شود.
براساس گزارش منابع خبری، اسامه بن لادن در پناهگاه او در یک ساختمان مجلل در شهر ابیت آباد، واقع در شمال شرق اسلام آباد، پایتخت پاکستان، هدف حمله قرار گرفت و کشته شد.
پرویز کامیاب خبرنگار بی بی سی در واشنگتن که از اطراف کاخ سفید گزارش می دهد می گوید در نخستین دقایق بامداد دوشنبه هزاران نفر که بیشتر آنها جوان هستند، با حمل پرچم آمریکا بسوی محل اقامت رئیس جمهور سرازیر شده و فریاد می زنند: "آمریکا، آمریکا."
مردم زیادی نیز در اطراف محل برج های دوقلوی تجارت جهانی در نیویورک که در جریان حملات یازده سپتامبر فروپاشید جمع شده اند.
آقای اوباما با تاکید بر اینکه مبارزه با القاعده ادامه خواهد یافت افزود آمریکا با اسلام در جنگ نبوده و نیست و بن لادن نه فقط رهبر مسلمانان نیست بلکه مسلمانان را قتل عام کرده است.
به گفته تحلیلگران این شبی به یاد ماندنی برای آمریکا و موفقیتی بزرگ برای آقای اوباما است. مرگ اسامه بن لادن شانس انتخاب مجدد او را به ریاست جمهوری افزایش می دهد.
جورج بوش، رئیس جمهور پیشین آمریکا، کشته شدن اسامه بن لادن را "دستاورد بسیار مهم" توصیف کرده است.
وی بلافاصله پس از انتشار خبر کشته شدن بن لادن طی بیانیه ای گفت: "این دستاورد بسیار مهم نشانه پیروزی برای آمریکا، برای مردمی است که خواستار صلح در سرتاسر جهان هستند و همچنین پیروزی برای کسانی است که عزیزانشان را در 11 سپتامبر سال 2001 از دست دادند."
