He was four years old on May 6. He died a week ago on Monday evening in a fire on an empty first floor of a residential building in the pedestrian zone of Wilhelmshaven. He lived there in the attic with his mother and five older brothers and sisters. The state prosecutor accepts arson. On Wednesday, the police announced that she determined the suspect for the murder.
Jessica Obam Angue knows a family from his work in the African Union in Wilhelmshaven, which she founded. She helped a 37-year-old mother with problems with the authorities and the lessor and translated for her. The 34-year-old Osuf Tour-Schelian friend of the mother was with her and her 16 and 18-year-old daughters in the hospital all week. The pelvis meets with him and Jessica Obama Angay on Thursday in a cafe on the bridge over the EMS Nevasta. Osuf Tour says that he was hardly sleeping, he cried only the night before. He often does not know where he was. “I’m completely embarrassed.”
There is always something to do to make phone calls, respond to emails. During a conversation in a cafe, the Embassy of the coast of the ivory cat reports, she wants to talk to her mother. Before meeting with TAZ, he was with two police officers: in the apartment to get documents. He returns with several bags and a suitcase that does not contain much. “All saotino and smell of smoke,” he says.
In a campaign to raise funds for a family, almost 33,000 euros gathered together by Sunday evening. Jessica Obam Angai initiated her along with Wilma Nyari, activist Wilhelmshaven decolonization, which is at the meeting. She also supports the family. According to Wilhelmshaveng, two women also organized a memorial lesson, which took place on Friday evening before the uninhabited house on Marktstrasse, 100 people came. In the neighborhood, in front of the former arcade, pleasant toys, flowers and candles.
There is no apartment
Mother and large daughters from the clinic should be released on Monday. In fact, they wanted to move to a new apartment near Bremen two days earlier. Now it is unclear where you will sleep and who will pay the costs. The press secretary of the city press initially says that they are placed in emergency residence. But on Friday, she wrote in an email that the lessor was responsible, he was indicated. If, contrary to expectations, he will work, we will try to adapt adequate housing (for example, in a festive apartment) and put it on the expense for expenses. “
In addition, the social security office for the youth of the family “will make proposals for pedagogical support for the injury.” In the press release after the fire department, the independent mayor Karsten Fayst first thanked the emergency care services before he regretted the death of the child, and then returned to emergency services. They were “assumed immediately after the crisis intervention teams were used to process what they experienced.” And further: “You can also use this psychosocial support in the coming days and weeks as necessary.” Not a word about help for the family.
Why did this happen? Why?
Osuf Tour, family friend of the dead mousse
Until she is released, the mother cannot visit her younger three surviving children for insurance reasons. They are six, seven and nine years old, and they are distributed in clinics in Bremen and Oldenburg. Until now, the separated father was with them. Three still do not know on Thursday that their brother is dead.
Osuf Tour says that his mother only thought that all four were dead. He briefly turns to win his version again. It took a fire brigade a lot of time to find unconscious children in a completely smoky apartment. Mother and two large daughters could save themselves only on the roof without kids.
Structural racism
On Friday, the press secretary corrected the previously distributed statement that the fire brigade saved four adults from the attic. In fact, these were a mother and her two teenagers, there was never a fourth person. Wilma Nyari turns his eyes. “White often cannot tell us separately,” she says, “probably someone was probably considered twice.” In addition, people perceived as blacks are often considered older than they are. “There they quickly become two adult women from 16 and 18-year-old.”
Vilma Nyari and Jessica Obama Angay are important that there are conversations in connection with the fire on racism. It is unclear whether it was a racist attack. Suspicion is obvious, because two large families with the history of immigration live in the house: a family from Vietnam with six children, as another resident of the house in Tiktok says. And the mother of a dead boy with six children in the attic. This comes from the coast of ivory and black.
At this stage, the note: the pelvis writes “Black” the Great ”to clarify that this is a constructed task template, and not the real“ quality ”that is associated with the color of the skin,” as the initiative of black people in Germany says. And: “To be black is also connected with the experience of perception in a certain way.”
This perception is associated with devaluation in Germany. Therefore, says Wilma Nyari, it is not very important whether anyone aimed at this house. This is enough to even seem: the child dies, his parents and brothers and sisters are injured – because their skin is more pigmented than some other people. Just two months ago, the police in Oldenburg shot 21-year-old black.
Fear for children
Yes, she is afraid, says Jessica Obama Angau, especially about her children. Others from the black community are also the same. It was so until Monday, but now a particularly large amount of her fears will contact her. After the fire of her caretaker, she gave her flowers and thanked her. “She always guarantees that the doors are closed in the evening.” And otherwise she does her job and will be friendly.
Musa’s mother had a different experience, reports Issouf Touré. “There was mold in the apartment, the cockroaches came out in the evening, for two months there was no hot water.” If she asks for help, now a separate caretaker insulted her. “You do not deserve to live here,” he told her. And if there were smoke detectors in the apartment, they did not hit or not late, as the neighbor says in her video Tiktok.
Issif Tour asks for goodbye: “Why did this happen? Why?”
