Secularism is a Women’s IssueBien avant que l’expression « épuration ethnique » n’entre dans le langage courant, ses effets s’étaient déjà fait douloureusement ressentir en Mauritanie. Depuis 1989, des dizaines de milliers de Noirs mauritaniens ont été expulsés de force du territoire tandis que des centaines d’autres ont été torturés ou tués. L’occupation militaire non déclarée de la vallée du fleuve Sénégal, où vivent beaucoup de Noirs, soumet ceux qui sont restés à une répression sévère. La campagne visant à l’élimination de la culture négro-africaine de Mauritanie, orchestrée par les dirigeants maures blancs, a atteint son paroxysme à la fin des années quatre-vingt et au début des années quatre-vingt-dix et se poursuit encore aujourd’hui.

Maroc : une experte de l’ONU appelle à agir pour lutter contre la discrimination raciale
28 juillet 2019, par siawi3« Contrairement aux recommandations formulées par diverses parties prenantes internationales et nationales, le Maroc ne dispose pas d’une législation complète contre la discrimination ou d’une loi spécifique interdisant la discrimination raciale ». « Les femmes Amazigh ont signalé qu’elles faisaient face à des formes multiples et intersectionnelles de discrimination en raison de leur genre et de leur identité Amazigh ». « Certains migrants et réfugiés, notamment ceux d’origine noire, sub-saharienne, ont rapporté des incidents de racisme et de stéréotypage xénophobe lors de l’accès aux soins, au logement, à l’éducation, à l’emploi et dans d’autres secteurs »

UK: To fix its problems now, Labour must face the racism in its past
31 March 2019, by siawi3It takes work to eradicate racism – and that work starts by accepting the truth, not propagating simplistic fantasies. If we allow people to misrepresent the past by erasing the racist politics that have caused pain, economic degradation and treated people as “other” because of their skin colour, religion, immigration status or “culture”, then we won’t see racism – including anti-immigration racism – as structurally embedded and systemic.

UK: THE LIVED EXPERIENCE OF RACE AND CLASS
16 July 2019, by siawi3Officials eyeing you with contempt. Police treating you as scum. A sense of being constantly watched and judged by professionals. Living in fear of benefit sanctions.

Racist.” Democrats’ decision to kill the impeachment articles as Trump continued his racist rampage against members of Congress Wednesday night represented yet another failure by the House majority to listen to grassroots demands and take meaningful action against the president.
