USA Africa Dialogue Series - Fwd: London Burning--New Dystopian Reality Reminiscent of the Brixton riots of the 1980s


 
 
"History always repeats itself, said Hegel. But he forgot to add, commented Karl Marx, the first time as tragedy, the second as farce. What Marx meant in his essay The Eighteenth Brumaire of Louis Bonaparte is that history does not repeat itself at all. It only appears to, because human imaginations cannot keep up with the speed of change, so they dress it in costumes borrowed from the past. It is not the 2011 rioters who are dressing in history's robes – they appear to have modelled themselves more on recent zombie movies – but commentators, who are reaching for analogies of 1980s socialists to attribute these troubles to familiar causes.
It is worth looking at images of London's violent weekend and asking how they make you feel. Far from fitting into any historical model, they seem to me to come from an imagined London, a horror scenario of the city as a blazing wilderness. Sci-fi nightmares of urban catastrophe resonate with these pictures because this is a city made strange. Whatever is going on here, it is not familiar, and will not be easy to put right."----Jonathan Jones from below
 
 
 
 
 
Commentsary from Ola:
 
 
Racism + Social Injustice on a large scale= London Burning
 
Any society in the world in which the majority is unperturbed by the striking pervasive racism and social
injustice suffered daily by the visible and audible minorities, and the poor deserves to burn from time to time.
 
The burning is a wakeup call for the sleeping and complacent stiff upper-lipped majority Britons
of all races including the few privileged immigrants from all over the world.

London burning: history just went sci-fi
 
Images of the city's looted, burnt-out streets conjure not so much the 1980s Brixton riots as a new, dystopian reality

In HG Wells's novel The War of the Worlds, an attack by overwhelmingly superior Martians drives Londoners to flee their city. Mad columns of panicking people fight for space on roads out of the capital. When the narrator enters the abandoned metropolis he finds an eerie wasteland, where only a few derelicts and drunks remain on the deadly streets.
 
There was something a bit Wellsian about photographs of riots and looting across London this weekend. Pictures of burning shops and broken windows, and young men confronting uniformed police, included crowdsourced images snatched by witnesses in the rapid, unexpected diffusion of trouble. The most dramatic, of Tottenham on fire and the blackened aftermath, are positively apocalyptic. To me, it all seems uncanny and reminiscent of late Victorian science fiction. Even the place names have that quality of ordinariness that Wells exploits in his fantasy of a London apocalypse: Tottenham in flames, insurrection in Enfield, anarchy in Leyton and Islington ...
This sounds melodramatic – it was not the end of the world – but it is important to recognise the surreal and eerie sci-fi image of London in these pictures of the rioting and looting. It might even be a corrective to the mis-application of history.
 
For many observers, especially in Tottenham and Brixton, the weekend conjured echoes of the 1980s, when accusations of racist policing combined with the Thatcher government's economic harshness to bring communal protest and violence to British streets. At a time when a Tory-led government once again stands accused of treating young people as economic cannon fodder, the echoes are there in the underlying context. But do the events themselves summon up such history? The mostly teenage protagonists in pictures and eyewitness accounts suggest that, for these rioters, the 1980s are an extremely remote historical period. You may as well compare this weekend with the Gordon riots in the 18th century.

• Walking out in my neighbourhood after writing this, I found that Gay's the Word bookshop on Marchmont Street, one of central London's best-known gay landmarks, had its window smashed last night. A substance seems to have been thrown at the window before it was broken. This was the only business attacked on the street. So much for any attempt to see radicalism (at least of a cuddly leftwing variety) in these events.

UK PM recalls Parliament for London riot crisis

LONDON (AP) — British Prime Minister David Cameron recalled Parliament from its summer recess Tuesday and nearly tripled the number of police on the streets after three days of rioting in London blossomed into a full-blown political crisis.
Cameron described the scenes of burning buildings and smashed windows in London and several other British cities as "sickening," but refrained from more extreme measures such as calling in the military to help beleaguered police restore order.
Instead, he said 16,000 officers would be on the streets of the capital Tuesday night, almost tripling the number that were out Monday night.
"People should be in no doubt that we will do everything necessary to restore order to Britain's streets and to make them safe for the law-abiding," Cameron told reporters after rushing home from an Italian vacation to chair a crisis meeting at his Downing Street office.
A wave of violence and looting has raged across London since Saturday, as authorities struggled to contain the country's worst unrest since race riots set the capital ablaze in the 1980s.
Some 525 arrests have been made in London alone and dozens were arrested in other cities. Police announced Tuesday that plastic bullets would be "one of the tactics" available to officers to quell the riots.
The riots also claimed their first death — a 26-year-old found shot dead in a car.
Parliament will return to duty on Thursday, as the political fallout from the rampage takes hold. The crisis is a major test for Cameron's Conservative-led coalition government, which includes Liberal Democrats who had long suspected its program of harsh budget restraints could provoke popular dissent.
In London, groups of young people rampaged for a third straight night, setting buildings, vehicles and garbage dumps alight, looting stores and pelting police officers with bottles and fireworks into the wee hours of Tuesday. The spreading disorder was an unwelcome warning of the possibility of violence during London's 2012 Summer Olympics, less than a year away.
England's soccer match Wednesday against the Netherlands in London's Wembley stadium was canceled to free up police officers for riot duty.
Cameron said leaves have been canceled for police in London, and reinforcements have been called in from all over the country. Armored vehicles were deployed in some of the worst-hit districts, but authorities still struggled to keep pace with the chaos unfolding at flashpoints across London, in the central city of Birmingham, the western city of Bristol and the northwestern city of Liverpool.
"The violence we have seen is simply inexcusable. Ordinary people have had their lives turned upside down by this mindless thuggery," police commander Christine Jones said.
London's police said 14 people were injured. It was unclear if the man who died had been among them.
The rioters appeared to have little unifying cause — though some claimed to oppose sharp government spending cuts, which will slash welfare payments and cut tens of thousands of public sector jobs through 2015.
But many were attracted simply by the opportunity for violence. "Come join the fun!" shouted one youth in the east London suburb of Hackney, where shops were attacked and cars torched.
Rioters were left virtually unchallenged in several neighborhoods and able to plunder from stores at will or attempt to invade homes. Restaurants and stores closed early across London again Tuesday, fearing more looting.
Graham Reeves, 52, stood dumbstruck in front of the smoldering ruins of his family store, the House of Reeves on Croydon in south London. The store is a local landmark run by his family for decades — he said his 80-year old father was hysterical when he heard the news.
"No one's stolen anything," Graham Reeves said. "They just burnt it down."
Disorder flared throughout the night, from gritty suburbs along the capital's fringes to central London's posh Notting Hill neighborhood.
Police said all London police holding cells were full and prisoners were being taken to surrounding communities. At least 100 have been charged, including an 11-year old. Police were also monitoring Twitter, and warned that those who posted messages inciting the violence could face arrest.
Three people were arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after a police officer was struck by a car in north London early Tuesday. About 44 police officers have been injured in the violence.
The images of London's violence recalled the 2005 riots in France, when hooded and masked youths fought police in three weeks of raging overnight battles in housing projects, confrontations that became a challenge to the French state itself.
Mass deployments of police eventually subdued the rioters, but tensions between French police and youth in the projects continue today, with periodic clashes between youths with Molotov cocktails and police with tear gas. French police say between 30 and 50 cars are set on fire during an average week. On the most fiery night of the 2005 riots, more than 1,400 cars went up in flames.
Violence in London first broke out late Saturday in the low-income, multiethnic northern district of Tottenham, where protesters demonstrated against the fatal police shooting of Mark Duggan, a 29-year-old father of four who was gunned down in disputed circumstances Thursday.
A brief inquest hearing into Duggan's death was being held Tuesday, though it will likely be several months before a full hearing.
Duggan's death stirred old animosities and racial tensions similar to those that prompted massive U.K. race riots in the 1980s, despite efforts by London police to build better relations with the city's ethnic communities.
But, as the latest unrest spread, some pointed to rising social tensions in Britain as the government slashes 80 billion pounds ($130 billion) from public spending by 2015 to reduce the huge deficit, swollen after the country spent billions bailing out its foundering banks.
Sony Corp. said a major blaze had broken out at its distribution center near Enfield, north London, damaging DVDs and other products. So many fires were being fought in the capital that Thames Water warned that some customers could face water pressure drops. In the Clapham Junction area of south London, a mob stole masks from a party store to disguise their identities and then set the building on fire.
Dozens of people attacked shops in Birmingham's main retail district, and clashed with police in Liverpool and Bristol.
"This is the uprising of the working class. We're redistributing the wealth," said Bryn Phillips, a 28-year-old self-described anarchist, as young people emerged from a store with chocolate bars and ice cream cones.
Some residents called for police to deploy water cannons to disperse rioters, or call on the military for support. They questioned the strength of leadership within London's police department — particularly after a wave of resignations prompted by the country's phone-hacking scandal.
Youths used text messages, instant messaging on BlackBerry phones and social media platforms such as Twitter to coordinate attacks and stay ahead of the police.
About 100 young people clashed with police in the Camden and Chalk Farm areas of north London on Monday night. In the Peckham district of south London, where a building was set ablaze along with a bus — which was not carrying passengers — onlookers said the scene resembled a conflict zone. Cars were torched in nearby Lewisham, and in west London's Ealing suburb the windows of each store along entire streets had been smashed.
"There's been tension for a long time. The kids aren't happy. They hate the police," said Matthew Yeoland, a 43-year-old teacher watching the unrest in Peckham. "It's like a war zone and the police weren't doing anything."
Police said Duggan was shot dead last week when police from Operation Trident — the unit that investigates gun crime in the black community — stopped a cab he was riding in.
The Independent Police Complaints Commission, which is investigating the shooting, said a "non-police firearm" was recovered at the scene. But the Guardian newspaper reported that a bullet in the officer's radio was police-issue, indicating Duggan may not have fired at the officer.
Duggan's partner, Semone Wilson, insisted that her fiance was not connected to gang violence and urged police to offer more information about his death. But she rejected suggestions that the riots were linked to protests over his death.
"It got out of hand. It's not connected to this anymore. This is out of control," she said.
The past year has seen mass protests against the tripling of student tuition fees and cuts to public sector pensions. In November, December and March, small groups broke away from large marches in London to loot. In the most notorious episode, rioters attacked a Rolls-Royce carrying Prince Charles and his wife Camilla to a charity concert.
However, the full impact of spending cuts has yet to be felt and the unemployment rate is stable — although it remains highest among youth, especially in areas like Tottenham, Hackney and Croydon.
Some residents insisted joblessness was not to blame. "It's just an excuse for the young ones to come and rob shops," said Brixton resident Marilyn Moseley, 49.

Riot hits north London after police shooting death

LONDON (AP) — The gritty north London neighborhood of Tottenham exploded in anger Saturday night after a young man was shot to death by police.
Two patrol cars, a building and a double-decker bus were torched as rioters clashed with officers in front of the Tottenham Police Station, where people had gathered to demand "justice" for the death of a 29-year-old killed in an apparent gunfight.
"It's really bad," said local resident David Akinsanya, 46. "There are two police cars on fire. I'm feeling unsafe."
Sirens could be heard across the city as authorities rushed reinforcements to the scene. In Tottenham shop windows were smashed as residents looted the stores, pushing shopping carts full of stolen goods down the street.
Officers in riot gear and on horseback pushed up against the demonstrators. Akinsanya put the number of demonstrators at between 400 and 500. Police said there were about 300 people gathered.
Miles from the tourist hotspots of central London, Tottenham is one of the most deprived areas in all of England, with nearly half of all children living in poverty, according to campaigners.
In 1985, Tottenham was the scene of a deadly riot after a local woman suffered heart failure when her home was raided by the police. The Tottenham riots were among the most violent in the country's history, with one officer stabbed to death as he tried to protect firefighters and nearly 60 others were hospitalized.

Nigerians abroad rally behind Governor Orji Uzor Kalu 2007 presidential bid
Zoobee Chukwurah
zoobeea@aol.com
Friday, February 18, 2005
On January 28, 2005, Nigerians and Nigerian-Americans came out in droves to kick off Governor Orji Uzor Kalu's presidential campaign on their own initiative. They came from Europe, Dublin Ireland, California, Florida, Texas, Massachusetts, Tennessee, Illinois, Minnesota, Georgia, New York, New Jersey, Virginia and all over the USA and Canada to support Orji Uzor Kalu. The occasion was held at the luxurious Marriott Bethesda Hotel in Maryland, USA. The conference room was filled to capacity that the organizers who flew in from various states of the USA started scrambling with the hotel management for a bigger space to accommodate the crowd. The Chief organizer of the event Joe Nzepuome was very apologetic to the attendees saying that the event was planned without even the knowledge that Dr. Kalu will be in town nor his permission, that this was just a coincidence that Governor Kalu happened to be in town to attend President George Bush's inauguration ceremony. Mr. Nzepuome further explained that the governor had no intention of braving out of his residence in a snowy weather but was forced out to come and see the audience when he the Governor could no longer handle numerous phone calls coming to his residence in Potomac from people demanding to see him. Many of the guests could not find seats but were happy to be standing. The Chief Spokesperson of the Orji Uzor Kalu 2007 Diaspora Campaign, Chief Ajibola Osinubi, clearly and methodically narrated Governor Kalu's achievements while in office and why they believe he is the right man for Nigeria at this time.
 
The evening started with brief remarks by the attendees, some extolling Governor Kalu's achievements in delivering major infrastructure, including roads, healthcare facilities, and educational resources in Abia state. Other attendees inquired on how Governor Kalu would transform Nigeria from its present state of lackluster progress, to the African powerhouse that she rightly is. Speculation was rife in the air as Nigerian-Americans sought to decipher this enigma of a person known as Orji Uzor Kalu.
The highlight of the evening was Governor Kalu's surprise arrival to the event to mingle with his supporters and help them kick of the campaign and thank them for their support and their initiative. Governor Kalu restated his commitment to restore Nigeria to its full potential and glory and pledged to take Nigeria and hand it back to Nigerians. He took time to address the huge gathering after which he took questions from the audience. As the evening progressed, Governor Kalu went ahead to recount his administration's two-term achievements in specific areas like road infrastructure, education, healthcare, and security of lives and property, among many other areas .
Most of the attendees eagerly seized the town hall opportunity, to freely bombard the Governor with a barrage of questions about his claims of achievement, in both public and private life. No question was off limits as the Governor calmly took one question after the other.
Some questioners wanted to know why Governor Kalu believed he will emerge victorious in his party's potentially fierce and arm-twisting primary elections. In response, Governor Kalu asserted that he welcomes the opportunity for a vigorous primary election process. Governor Kalu reiterated that he was running on his record as a high-achieving two term governor, as well as a founding member of his party, the Peoples Democratic Party of Nigeria (PDP).
He also reiterated his ability to win a freely and fairly contested election, while maintaining an ability to match any candidate on any terms. Based on Governor Kalu's responses, there seemed to be a credible potential that Governor Kalu will deliver on his assertion, and match rhetoric to action, how Governor Kalu intends to do just that, is a card he plays very close to his chest.
On a question about the possibility of emerging as a consensus candidate from the south, Governor Kalu maintained that he has proven himself in governance as well as in managing several successful private businesses. Therefore his proven achievements and records of fiscal responsibility has become a hallmark of his management style, which in turn yields dividends by creating opportunities for jobs for the people. He vowed that he intends to maintain sustainable development in other areas of the economy within Nigeria if elected president.
Prominent Nigeria-American attendees included Okey Mbonu, a Nigerian-born Commissioner for Housing and Community Development, in Maryland, Daudu Saidu Ugonoh, the San Turaki of Ebiraland, Kogi State, Michael Brown, a Washington DC based lawyer and son of former US Secretary for Commerce Ron Brown, Mrs. Cecilia Ibe from NJ, Chief Theo Egbujor a prominent Nigerian business man from Tennesse, Dr Alhaji Sani Mohammed from Ohio, Dr Chika Nnamani, Florence Ericson from NJ, Abiodun Olasannye a Publisher of Excellence Magazine USA, Alhaji Ali Idris, Sogie Guobadia, Abdullahi Danjuma from Wisconsin and Mr. Ajibola Osinubi from Boston Massachusetts .
The Orji Kalu 2007 presidential campaign will be launched in different zones of the USA, Canada and Europe, with Houston Texas scheduled for Saturday, April 23, 2005 at the Hilton Hotel in Houston (Southwest Freeway) to give Nigerians in Diaspora the opportunity to participate fully in the democratic process.
Simply surprise yourself yonder.
 
Gov. Orji Uzor Kalu celebrates with President Bush

- Zoobee Chukwurah

(Saturday, January 22, 2005)
"His Excellency, Chief Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu arrived Washington DC Wednesday night to snow-covered city with treacherous road conditions."

His Excellency, Gov. Orji Uzor Kalu [Photo Left: His Excellency, Gov. Orji Uzor Kalu ]
The first citizen of Abia State of Nigeria, His Excellency, Chief Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu arrived Washington DC Wednesday night to snow-covered city with treacherous road conditions. A price worth paying for a great occasion and for a dear friend? Yes it is, as the Nigerian action governor came in on a personal invitation from the first family of the United States to attend the inaugural swearing in ceremony of President Bush's second term in office.
Talking to a reporter Thursday morning on arrival at the VIP-studded event, the young and charismatic Governor was quoted as saying, "when a good friend calls on you in their moment of triumph, you rise to the occasion, right? " He continued, "that's why I'm in your country to support and celebrate with a long time family friend. Long live America! Long live Nigeria!"
