Summer Of Resistance

Moin, in Oldenburg(Oldb) läuft auch einiges. Wir hatten hier grade ne Urabstimmung, in der sich 97% der Studis gegen allgemeine Studiengebühren ausgesprochen haben! (Und die Wahlbeteiligung war drei mal so hoch wie bei den StuPa-Wahlen!)

Ausserdem gabs nach der letzten Vollversammlung wieder ne Spontandemo in die Innenstadt, die diesmal von der Polizei nicht so wohlwollend geduldet wurde wie beim letzten mal - die meinten das wär nicht spontan, weils das selbe Thema schonmal als Spontandemo gab... *grmpf*. Aber verglichen mit Bremen und Hamburg haben wir hier (bisher) wirklich "Freunde und Helfer" und keine Bullen. Hoffentlich bleibts so!

Ja welche Proteste sind denn nun im Mai geplant? Alle Angaben hier beziehen sich auf den Monat April..?

lesen:
"Außerdem beschlossen viele Hochschulen Aktionstage und/oder Streiks im Mai 2005, die bundesweit Koordiniert werden sollen. Bereits im Vorfeld der für Anfang Mai geplanten Protesttage hat es in einigen Städten Aktionen gegen Studiengebühren und andere Sauereien der Bildungsreformen gegeben."

morgen soll es also an einigen unis losgehen.

Seit heute morgen sind sämtliche .de.vu Subdomains in Deutschland nicht zu erreichen. Davon sind die drei Streikseiten aus Hamburg (nordstreik.de.vu), Freiburg (besetztes-rektoramt.de.vu) und Stuttgart (streikblog.de.vu) betroffen.

Wollen wir hoffen, dass dies alles nur Zufall ist!

Wir in Stuttgart warten im Moment noch auf die Freischaltung der Domain streikblog.de, in der Zwischenzeit sind wir zu erreichen über:  http://streikblog.de.tk
Freiburg ist über  http://www.besetztes-rektorat.de.ki erreichbar, aus Hamburg wissen wir noch nichts.

"hamburg" ist unter folgender adresse zu erreichen:

 http://www.jpberlin.de/sueterrain/nordstreik/index.php

Wenn  http://www.besetztes-rektorat.de.vu nicht will, erreicht man die Rektoratswebsite in Freiburg über:

Eichstätt (!) lädt am 25. Juni zu einer bayernweiten Großdemo in das kleine Nest an der Altmühl. Weitere Infos gibt es unter www.studiengebuehren.bayern.de

Marburg: Demo gegen Studiengebühren

17. Mai 2005

Unter  http://www.bildungszweck.de/ findet ihr eine Seite, die sich neben den ganzen Jubelseiten auch mal etwas inhaltlicher mit dem Thema Studiengebühren, dem Bildungssystem an sich und seinen Hintergründen auseinandersetzt.

Hier ein Bericht von studentischen Kämpfen in Südkamerun, dem englischsprachigen Teil von Kamerun (Ambazonia)
Kamerun ist hauptsaächlich französischsprachig und der englischsprachige Teil hat schon seit langem unter den Repressalien und Diskriminierungen der französischsprachigen Regierung zu leiden.Soweit zum Kontext.
Bei den Protesten ging es unter anderem um Studiengebühren, Preise für Trinkwasser und Essen. dabei kam es anlässlich eines Sit Ins in der Uni von Buea zu brutalen Angriffen der Polizei, wobei auch mehrfach StudentInnen erschossen wurden. Hier ein bericht in englisch, mehrdazu mit Bildern auf indymedia ambazonia...
Zeigt euch solidarisch mit euren KommilitonInnen auch dort. Schickt Protestfaxe an die unten angegebenen Adressen!


Update from Ambazonia Students Association (ASA) University of Buea, on the
recent developments on the issues of the strike and the killing of unarmed
students in cold blood at the scene by French Cameroon cobs.

Ladies and Gentlemen; since our appeal to you for solidarity with us in the faceof the brutal killings of our mates by the annexation regime of French Cameroon, certain developments have taken place on the ground.

As soon as the international community started expressing concerns over the killings, the Minister of Higher Education of French Cameroons hastily came to the Campus of our University and agreed to grant all the requests we had in our memorandum a month ago when the strikes started. Amongst which was the approval of a Buea University Students Union UNIBSU.
We held our first open General Assembly of the just approved University of Buea Students Union (UNIBSU) on Wednesday the 1st of June 2005.

As we wrote in our last letter of appeal to you;on the 27th of April 2005,
paramilitary forces of French Cameroon shot using life ammunition at students who were peacefully demonstrating to express their grievances against the administration of the university and the annexation regime of French Cameroon.
This despite the express provisions of the law,including the law of Cameroon forbidding the using of life bullets by security forces to restore order.

After we wrote on the issue last time, on May the 23 2005, the police again shot at students with life ammunition killing one person and seriously injuring five others.
The vice chancellor had decided to down play the problem of the strike by
issuing a communique over Cameroon Radio television stating that classes will resume on the 19th May2005.

We did return to school but decided to keep having a seat-in strike until our concerns were attended to.

That morning of May 23 2005 the governor of the South West province showed-up at our University entrance, and ordered us to immediately stop the seat-in strike and go to class, which we rejected. He then ordered the police to disperse us. From there, the situation escalated and by the end of the day the police had shot dead the one person and seriously injured the 5 others. You can see an update with photographs on :
www.ambazonia.indymedia.org

On May 27 2005 after many foreign Institutions,dignitaries and foreign
governments started expressing concerns over the situation, the Minister of Higher Education of French Cameroon suddenly showed-up at our campus and accept all the demands we had on our memorandum at the start of the strike one month ago, which included:

-Maintaining the school fees at 50,000 franc c.f a, not jacking it up 100% to 100,000franc cfa as the government wanted to.

-Recognition of our Students Union: University of Buea Students Union(UNIBSU).

-Upgrading of our library with up-to-date books.

-Making it possible for all students to re-sit all courses if they have to, without unnecessary bottle-necks from the school authority.

-Building of taps in the campus to allow us have drinking water without having to buy water all the time from the shops owned by school administration members.

-Construction of toilets in the campus.

-Improvement of the quality and quantity of food that we are served at the
school restaurant as well as reduction of the cost of the food.

Also all students detained all this while were immediate released from detention on our request.
On the issue of the replacement of the vice chancellor, the Minister of Higher Education indicated to our lecturers that it was an issue for the competence of the president.

In effect, we do believe that the sudden showing up of the Minister of Higher Education and his acceptance of the same memorandum we had issue a month ago when we started this strike is indication that the government suddenly got worried with the involvement of foreign universities, the public, dignitaries and other governments.

Thus Sirs and Ladies we wish to thank you for all you support and yet point out to you the fact that, the murderers of our mates and friends still roam in freedom despite the express provisions of the law prohibiting the use of life bullets to restore order.

We wish to point out to you that the soldiers who raped two of our mates on the 28th of April still roam in freedom.

We wish to point out that the soldiers who looted and destroyed our property,brutalized us in our campus and neighborhoods, while we tried to have our just demands addressed by the establishment, these soldiers still roam in freedom.

The events and the records of this government have it that this regime is in the attitude of letting their forces, commit the above crimes against us the people of Ambazonia with impunity. It is worth recalling that 13years after shooting dead 6 people in Bamenda by the same forces and brutalizing hundreds of others on May 26th 1992 on the lunching of the Social Democratic Front (SDF), no soldier till date has been prosecuted on that account nor did any soldier get any sanction of any sort for those crimes.

Three years after the shooting dead of peaceful demonstrators in Kumbo on
October 1 2003, the French Cameroon regime is still to let the law follow it's course and bring those responsible to book.

Again from April 27th to May 27 2005, they have murdered in cold blood 5persons, three directly from gun shot, at our peaceful students demonstrations and two others died in hospital from injuries sustained from police brutalization at the same peaceful demonstrations.

We call on you:
1- to insist that this government immediately dismiss all those involved
in these crimes, both those in the hierarchy who made the decision to have lifebullets at the scene of the demonstration and those who used the life
ammunitions on the students.
2- After their dismissal they should immediately be detain for trial.
Without which we are sure this impunity with reference to the above crimes will only encourage repetition of such crimes, as the experience has shown.
We again thank you for your support which has made it possible for this academic year to be salvaged with the government accepting our just demands.

Looking to hear from you, accept Ladies Gentlemen, our best regards.
Sincerely yours

ASA university of Buea.

In Essen ist auch weiterhin der Campus besetzt. Ein Autonomes Vorlesungsverzeichnis für die kommende Woche ist erstellt und langsam wird es richtig gemütlich bei uns. Zahlreiche Aktionen sind geplant und das Camp soll sogar noch ausgebaut werden. Das Camp existiert seit dem 22.Mai direkt nachdem der Wahlsieg der CDU in NRW bekannt worden ist. Ein Ende der Besetzung ist nicht in Sicht.
