Donation Request

Dear Friends,

On June 4th thru 6th 2010, a political-cultural Karawane Festival for the
Rights of Refugees and Migrants will take place in Jena (Thuringia,
Germany). The planned event is an open air festival against neocolonialism
and racism. This is especially true: locally and outside. Over the course
of three days, various activities and actions will take place at several
locations in downtown Jena: e.g. lectures, discussions, plays, live music,
film screenings and exhibitions. Two key program points mark the unveiling
of a memorial for those killed by the stronghold of Europe and a
masquerade parade, where those who died on their way to Europe will be
received entering the city in the form of Nigerian masks.

The festival is open to all activists and artists of all nationalities and
communities, who wish to bring their art of resistance to other forms of
expression with others in creativity and cooperation. It is coordinated by
the VOICE Refugee Forum, activists of the Karawane for the Rights of
Refugees and Migrants, and many volunteers, particularly from Jena.

We rely heavily on donations in order to prepare the festival and
especially to put it in effect with all those interested in June.

Therefore we are asking you: Support the activities and events for the
2010 Festival Karawane for the Rights of Refugees and Migrants. No
contribution is too small when it is given and not thought of as
unimportant.

Donations made to the VOICE are considered especially eligible and a
donation receipt can be given upon request.

[creative-radio] [info] Jangan Marah : PRESS RELEASE ZEKE KHASELI “SALACCA ZALACCA”

 

PRESS RELEASE ZEKE KHASELI "SALACCA ZALACCA"
 
 
Apa konsep album ini?
Album ini berisi kumpulan lagu yang dibuat seminggu sekali pada Agustus 2009 sampai awal Januari 2010. Semua lagu direkam sendirian di kamar. Lagu-lagu itu setiap minggunya bisa di-download gratis via zekekhaseli.com. Untuk versi album, lagu-lagu tersebut di-mixing ulang dan di-mastering oleh Jonathan Vanco
                                
Kenapa membuat dan merilis lagu seminggu sekali?
Karena sebenarnya dalam setiap minggu selalu ada lirik yang bisa ditulis dan nada-nada yang bisa dimainkan. Sayang kalau hal itu tidak direkam.
 
Lalu kenapa sekarang berhenti membuat lagu setiap minggu?
Gue mulai takut rasa lagunya nanti akan sama. Perlu istirahat beberapa bulan untuk bisa menciptakan hal-hal lagi.
 
Secara keseluruhan, seperti apa lagu-lagu di album "Salacca Zalacca"?
Seperti film dokumenter yang merekam lingkungan keseharian gue. Tapi, ke depannya gue ingin lebih banyak lagi berkomunikasi dan berinteraksi dengan lebih banyak orang, untuk bisa dijadikan lagu. Durasi lagu umumnya pendek, dua setengah menit sampai tiga menitan. Musiknya pop yang bisa apa aja. Musiknya banyak pengaruh The Beatles era psikedelik. Ada pengaruh nuansa film science fiction juga. Mungkin secara genre, namanya: sci-lo-fi.
 
Pengaruh musikal lainnya?
Blur, Pavement, Flaming Lips, Beck, Daniel Johnston, Adam Green
 
Selain musik, pengaruh besar lainnya dari mana?
Film, terutama untuk liriknya.
 
Sutradara paling disuka?
Woody Allen, Alfred Hitchcock, dan Federico Fellini
 
Seperti apa keseharian elo di masa merekam lagu-lagu itu?
Ngopi dan ngobrol dengan orang-orang, kebanyakan bersama teman-teman. Gue seperti melakukan aktivitas interview. Hasil obrolan itu kemudian ditambah banyak khayalan yang terutama dipengaruhi film. Gue kebayakan menemukan hal-hal memorable bukan dari kejadian, tapi dari perkataan. 
 
Kebanyakan tema obrolannya tentang apa?
Macam-macam. Gue mendengarkan cerita-cerita atau diskusi itu seperti ingin membuat sebuah film. Soalnya film itu jelas. Ada karakter, struktur cerita, dan ada akhirnya. Pada lirik, saat mengatakan "gue", itu semua karakter, alter ego. Dari obrolan-obrolan, gue juga bisa menemukan quote.
 
 
Gaya penulisan lirik?
Menggunakan ungkapan sehari-hari, dan nggak ada aturan untuk menghubung-hubungkan kata atau kalimat. Semuanya "menurut" pada sense gue.
 
Kenapa sekarang merilis album, padahal sebelumnya lagu-lagu ini sudah dirilis secara gratis?
1. PR juga mengirim e-mail satu per satu lagu ke orang-orang
2. Pingin punya katalog dalam format fisik
3. Gue pingin orang-orang yang mendengarkan lagu-lagu itu bukan hanya mereka yang terbiasa dengan download
4. Nggak seru kalau bentuknya hanya audio, perlu visual juga   
 
Kenapa nama albumnya "Salacca Zalacca'?
Suatu hari gue, Anggun, dan Bin makan salak. Salaknya enak. Dan salak itu dalam bahasa latin disebut "Salacca Zalacca", menurut Wikipedia. Sempat juga terpikir untuk menamakan album ini,"Salak Masuk Surga".
 
Kenapa urutan lagu di CD berdasarkan alphabetical order?
Waktu itu, Bin bertugas untuk menentukan urutan lagu. Dia belum menyelesaikan tugasnya. Solusinya: 17 lagu diurutkan sesuai abjad, seperti absensi.
.
Apa yang ingin disampaikan dengan album ini?
Selamat merayakan hari raya terdekat. Selamat merayakan hidup
 
Ada tambahan lain?
Mau salak, nggak?
 
Belum tentu.
 
Album debut Zeke Khaseli "Salacca Zelacca" beredar pada 19 Mei 2010. Dirilis oleh Blackmorse Records, Jangan Marah Records, dan Demajors Independent Music Industry.

RADIO NZ INTERNATIONAL FUNDING FROZEN
www.radioheritage.net

WELLINGTON (Radio Heritage Foundation/Pacific Media Watch): Radio New
Zealand International [RNZI], the country's shortwave broadcaster receives
no additional funding in the latest government budget for 2010/2011
announced in Wellington yesterday.

Funding remains at NZ$1.9m [US$1.26m] and it's required to deliver 16
hours of good quality reception daily to a minimum of 11 Pacific
nations with one 100kW analog transmitter installed in 1990 and one
100kW digital capable transmitter installed in 2005.

The primary coverage nations it's funded for are French Polynesia,
Cook Islands, Tokelau, American Samoa, Samoa, Niue, Tonga, Wallis and
Futuna, Fiji, Tuvalu, New Caledonia and Vanuatu.

The secondary coverage nations are Solomon Islands, Papua New Guinea,
Nauru and Kiribati, whilst general coverage must be provided to the
Asia/Pacific and Pacific Rim region including the Federated States of
Micronesia, Marshall Islands and Palau.

In addition, RNZI must increase the number of Pacific radio stations
relaying or rebroadcasting its news bulletins to 18 and is permiited
a maximum 1% of transmission time lost from equipment failure.

The Radio Heritage Foundation welcomes the continued funding of RNZI
as recognition by the government that it provides a valuable service
for New Zealand's interests in the Pacific.

'At a time when many shortwave broadcasters face budget cuts and
complete closedown of services, this continued confidence in RNZI's
ability to deliver a quality service with a bare-bones budget is
tribute to the extreme dedication to duty and pragmatism of the
entire RNZI team" says chairman David Ricquish.

RNZI provides valuable cyclone, extreme weather watch and tsunami
warnings for the entire South Pacific region. It also provides local
FM quality news, information and other programs for rebroadcast on a
growing number of local Pacific island radio stations.

"With Fiji in media censorship lockdown and media freedoms poorly
understood in many of the target nations, RNZI provides local
listeners with a respected and valuable news source from a Pacific
perspective" adds Ricquish.

"Every week, thousands of New Zealanders are on holiday, on business
visits or working and living in the Pacific and RNZI provides a
valuable service for their continued safety."

"To maintain this security, RNZI should also be urgently capital
funded for a replacement of the 20 year old analog transmitter with
another high power digital capable shortwave transmitter sooner
rather than later" says Ricquish.

Catastrophic RNZI transmitter failure co-inciding with natural
disasters or sudden political events and instability in the region
could threaten the lives of New Zealanders and New Zealand's security
and commercial interests.

* Radio Heritage Foundation is a registered non-profit organisation
connecting popular culture, nostalgia and radio heritage across the
Pacific. It's global website www.radioheritage.net offers free
community access to Pacific Radio Guides and other valuable

[creative-radio] RADIO: Afghanistan’s Airways: Voices of Youth, Women and People with Disabilities

Afghanistan's Airways: Voices of Youth, Women and People with Disabilities
http://ow.ly/1NO0G

[excerpts]

(May 19, 2010) Children who are forced to beg, cigarette smoking and access
to education are just a few of the issues discussed on *Radio Kodak*, a
program that follows the activities of a fictional radio station run by a
group of children.

[...]

Another under-represented group in the media – people with disabilities –
has a voice through a Salam Watandar program, *Qahir-I Qahraman* ("Qahir the
Champion"). Produced by a team of three disabled radio journalists, it is an
educational and advocacy program about Afghanistan's over 1.5 million
disabled citizens, most of them victims of war. The program includes news,
information, a weekly drama and advice for people with disabilities.

Advocates credit the program with increased enrollment at rehabilitation and
special education centers for disabled people and the ground-breaking People
with Disabilities Law. *Qahir-I Qahraman* also discourages the use of
derogatory terms for the disabled such as "lame" and "retarded" and
encourages more appropriate attitudes using drama and storytelling.

"*Qahir-I Qahraman* is the only program of its kind in Afghanistan," says
producer Haji Nader. "It is the voice of people with disabilities.
Wherever we travel in Afghanistan, advocates for people with disabilities
tell us how much they appreciate our program."
After Losing His Legs, an Afghan Man Finds Hope from a Unique Radio
Program<http://www.internews.org/prs/2010/20100519_afghan_disability.shtm>
http://www.internews.org/prs/2010/20100519_afghan_disability.shtm

[...]

Internews ensures the inclusion of women at every level in its media
development projects in Afghanistan. Women are hired as trainers and
administrators of the project and, in 2010, forty percent of Salam
Watandar's on air presenters will be women.

*Hawa* (Eve) is Salam Watandar's weekly program about Afghan women and young
girls. Broadcast in two weekly editions, one in Pashtu and one in Dari, the
programs include interviews with successful women, reports from the
provinces, tips on home economics, information about basic health care and
advice on a range of gender issues, such as services for victims of domestic
violence. It seeks to empower women through education and by promoting their
inclusion in business and economic arenas.

[...]
Youth Media Project The *Afghan Youth Voices
Festival<http://www.afghanyouthvoices.com/>
* http://www.afghanyouthvoices.com/ will provide an opportunity for
Afghanistan's youth to express their ideas and dreams about their future
through the media. The aim for the festival is to support the next
generation of leaders to discover the power of their creativity and learn to
express their voices through different mediums including radio, television,
the internet, blogging, photography, posters, art and music. Over 4 months,
young people and youth groups will become involved in media projects and
activities that engage youth in media production, inspiring and legitimizing
active youth participation in public debate. Their work will be showcased
during Youth Media Week held from 4th to 10th August 2010.

[...]

Weblogistan

For those Afghans who don't have access to the Internet, the radio program *
Weblogistan* reflects the voice of Afghan youth in the blogosphere. This
month, the program profiled several new blogs and their unique takes on the
upcoming parliamentary elections, the Mujahideen Victory Day and Hamid
Karzai's visit to Washington. "Not only is the number of Afghan bloggers on
the rise, but Afghan bloggers have also become more sophisticated," says
producer Mojtaba Qayoomi. "Today, many bloggers instantly comment on the
day's news. In contrast to mainstream reporters, they are also much more
direct and pointed in their critique of important social issues. Bamyan
bloggers, for example, have taken up the cause of a lack of reconstruction
projects in their province, which the mainstream media has ignored."
Salam Watandar

Salam Watandar, Internews' radio programming service in Afghanistan, is
staffed by an all-Afghan team of journalists, producers and technicians.
Salam Watandar's primary goal is the production of accurate,
locally-produced news, current affairs, educational and cultural programming
for a national Afghan audience, with particular consideration being given to
provincial audiences. Ongoing programming consists of hourly news bulletins
that are broadcast live from 7 a.m. until 6 p.m., six days per week. Each
hourly bulletin is alternated in both Dari and Pashtu languages.

[creative-radio] Call for further support: Join the Caravan Festival Network!

 

Deutsch: Aufruf zur weiteren UnterstĂĽtzung: SchlieĂźt euch dem
Karawane-Festival-Netzwerk an! >>> http://thevoiceforum.org/node/1630

Call for further support: Join the Caravan Festival Network!

Our Solidarity is a practical action and transparent engagement to
contribute!

The awareness of the oncoming Caravan Festival has created a viable
network for the campaign to unite against all colonial injustice.

The festival as an initiative from The VOICE Refugee Forum with The
Caravan-for the Rights of Refugees and Migrants, including antiracist
activists, supporters and volunteers has generated strong engagement and
ongoing activities in other cities outside Jena. These include Weimar,
Apolda, Frankfurt, Bremen, Oldenburg, Hamburg, Berlin, Freiburg, Biberach,
Mannheim, Nuremberg, Köln, Bochum, Wuppertal, Bielefeld, Halberstadt,
Halle, Möhlau, Hanau, Brandenburg, Darmstadt and Karlsruhe amongst others.
More cities are preparing and organising their mobilization to the
festival with different events. Watch out and keep updated by visiting the
following internet sites:

http://thevoiceforum.org/taxonomy/term/22,
http://thecaravan.org/festival
http://www.karawane-festival.org,

More than 3000 participants are expected for the 3-day event. Activists
and performing artists from Belgium, Mali, Morocco, Austria, Holland and
other countries will be taking part in the festival. Migrants and other
antiracist activists intend to use this festival to present calls for
actions within the network of the festival and possibly an International
Tribunal on the situation of refugees and migrants in Germany in 2011.

Amidst the endless persecutions, injustice and worldwide corruption and
exploitation of our countries by the so called powerful and civilized
countries, we stand here on principles to fight and refuse the indignity
meted on us. These so-called developed countries have institutionalized
our deprivation and the denial of our rights by portraying us as enemies
while they continue their brutality, discrimination, expose us to inhuman
isolation camps, deportation, residenzpflicht, including the deprivation
of the right to work or education and many more.

We shall continue to hold our grounds and fight irrespective of its costs.
We remain in solidarity with each another to overcome our fear of freedom
and the barbarism of the state.

We work to de-mask the pretence, ignorance and lies of our oppressors'
agenda to control and dominate us in their global war through the
militarization of the borders as well as their expansion to invade our
countries and their refusing to honour the dignity of our physical
presence as human beings here.

We refuse to accept their imposition of fear as a strategy to divide and
oppress us with their unbridled greed and wanton destruction of our
countries, our cultures and communities.

Solidarity is by doing!

Background of nationwide and international events in Germany – a short
view on the history of the caravan.

The Caravan for the rights of refugees and migrants was founded in 1998.
Starting from Bremen many refugee and migrants acitivists and
organisations from various parts of Germany participated in a tour through
40 cities with the slogan „We have no vote but we have a voice" to protest
the racist elections campaign to the German Parliament. From various
cities, we moved to converge at the venue of the 1999 G7-summit and staged
our protest in Köln. We waged an international hunger strike campaign of
solidarity and demonstrations for 16 days to say „We are here because your
destroy our countries" as we protested against deportation and
exploitation of refugees here in Europe.

As The VOICE in Jena together with caravan activists, we realized the
nationwide campaign to close the two largest former isolation camps in
Tambach-Dietharz and Jena-Forst in the middle of the Thueringen forest and
the famous campaigns to stop the deportation of activists of The Voice in
1998/99 as for example the deportation stop of Akubuo Chukwudi in
Mecklenburg-Vorpommern and others.

In 2000 we organized the first international congress of refugees under
the title „Unite against deportation and social exclusion" with hundreds
of activists from Germany and abroad. Again, the slogan „We are here
because you destroy our Countries" gave the political direction of the
event.

More than 3000 participants protested against residential obligation
during the actiondays against Residenzpflicht in Berlin in 2001.

We continued with the second nationwide protest tour before the election
in 2002 and strengthened our nationwide campaigns in the states, cities
and towns of the caravan network.

More info and input are needed to support our struggles.

The war against refugees can only be overcome by uniting against colonial
injustice of the migration control regime.

Migration control is the militarized power base policies and the politics
of the colonial injustice in its heritage and continuity in Europe.

We are all vulnerable to the powers of this repression but the Caravan is
enriched with the high optimism to reach us all for a better world of
dignity in equality.

We will unite to promote the new order of solidarity from the base and
beyond. We call on you to join us for mobilization and participation in
the activities of the Festival.

We will appreciate that you contribute your support to realize the Caravan
Festival in memory of the deaths and victims of the Fortress Europe.

We need urgent support for translation for the Festival: The summaries of
our newsletters and calls in various languages could be published if you
can volunteer to urgently translate our texts and speeches in English,
German, French, Spanish, Russian, Turkish, Portuguese, Arabic, Italian,
Kurdish and Persian before, during and after the festival.

The translated texts and links will be published with the existing links
to the Festival multilingua section at http://thevoiceforum.org/node/1517
and http://thecaravan.org/node/2263 for update.

At the moment we regret that we are not able to provide translations for
most information on the festival. You can contribute to mobilize to the
festival with the information materials from the homepage:
