racist aggression, killed a Nigerian refugee – Il Sole 24 Ore

He died yesterday Emmanuel Chidi Namdi, Nigerian asylum applicant of 36 years, ended up in a coma after being beaten by a ultras of Fermana which on Tuesday had attacked, first verbally talking about ‘African apes ” then jerking, his partner of 24 years, in the center of Fermo. Yesterday Don Vinicio Albanesi, to give hospitality to the two migrants in the seminary, and that after the death of immigrants received a call of solidarity on the part of Prime Minister Matteo Renzi, has spoken of a “cold provocation” from the same “around bombs in front of the Fermo churches. ” There were four churches in the diocese targeted by unknown attackers who planted improvised explosive devices between February and May last. The priests are all involved in social and assistance to marginalized drug users and migrants. Even for this tomorrow Interior Minister Alfano preside in Fermo a committee on public order and security that also will take part in the Public Prosecutor.

The dynamics of the attack on Tuesday is still not clear: according to initial reports, the 36-year old would react by seizing a detachable pole of road signs which would hit the fan, a 35 year-old Italian already known to the police police and subjected to Daspi, knocking him to the ground. Rising, the latter would join him with a punch to the face that he fell: Emmanuel in the fall he hit his head and it was then hit again.

The Italian has been denounced and is currently in foot Free, a friend who was with him came in the investigation as a witness instead. Emmanuel and his partner had been welcomed by the Foundation Caritas in Veritate, led by Don Vinicio, last November. They were fleeing from Nigeria, where they had lost all their family members in one of the attacks on Christian churches by Boko Haram and getting into Italy had exceeded other violence in Libya. A crossing that had cost the lives of the baby she was carrying, but that he had led them to hope for a better future. In January, Don Vinicio had joined them informally, for lack of documents, marriage in the church of San Marco to the Marshes.

And it was don Albanesi yesterday to call into question, for aggression, “the the same round of the bombs in front of churches, “or at least the same cultural climate,” believe – said the priest – to belong to the Aryan race. ” Don Vinicio also contested the findings of fact, based on the story of the wife of Emmanuel, who reported bruises heal within 5 days, and announced that a civil party, as president of the Foundation Caritas in veritate, which welcomed 124 refugees , including 19 Nigerians. An episode that has no precedent in the city, where foreigners are numerous and well integrated and where asylum seekers are invited to tell their stories in schools and scout gatherings.
