African Woman Sets Herself On Fire To Protest Racism







The horrifying sight which traumatized shoppers and office workers in the centre of Luxembourg City last week has now been labelled as a protest against racism.
The Belgian woman of Congolese origin who set herself alight in the middle of Place d’Armes told witnesses that she was doing it to protest against racism, moments before she carried out the desperate act which has left her in hospital fighting for her life.
Maggy Delvaux-Mufu, a mother of three in her forties, alerted several national newspapers late on Tuesday morning last week that she would be burning herself alive on place des Martyrs at 12.45 am, before setting out accompanied by her husband to walk through the centre of town to her macabre rendezvous. The police were alerted and officers were deployed to the Rousegärtchen.

But the woman changed her plan when she came across a group of journalists gathered to cover an event organised by the ‘Mouvement écologique’ on Place d’Armes, opposite the Cercle municipal. She soaked herself in petrol before confronting the members of the press, announcing that she was about to sacrifice her life to protest against racism. Moments later, she struck a match, turning herself into a human torch in front of hundreds of people.

Delvaux-Mufu’s husband and passers-by jumped on the burning body, attempting to stifle the flames with coats and jackets. The scene made several people feel unwell and many witnesses who filled the square at lunchtime were traumatised by the woman’s shrieking screams of unimaginable pain. The flames were already extinguished when police, rescue services and the fire brigade arrived at the scene. One person is reported to have vomited after seeing the woman being transported into an ambulance. The events in Place d’Armes have also started a controversy regarding the authorities’ lack of psychological support for witnesses.
Delvaux-Mufu was taken to the Bon Secours hospital in Metz, where she is being treated in a specialised ward for burns and is fighting for her life. Grand Duchess Maria Teresa visited the woman and her family at the hospital last week.
RTL television was the first to run a news flash about the incident on its website on Tuesday afternoon last week. 352 reported the bulletin in its news in brief section, shortly before going to print. Events preceding the incident only came to light later on in the week.

The 42-year-old Belgian citizen and her husband had been facing financial difficulties. They had recently indebted themselves by buying a Citroën garage in Oberwampach, before realising they were missing the documents that would allow them to set up a business. Delvaux-Mufu wrote a letter to Le Jeudi recounting her story of bureaucratic difficulties and economic despair. “I’m against all forms of violence, but day after day, my family and I have to endure moral violence, discrimination, insults and much more from Mr Juncker’s administration”, she said in the letter published last week.
Money problems had driven the woman to desperately plead her case at the Prime minister’s office early on the same day of the incident. Her threat to burn herself alive on Place des Martyrs after being turned away by the authorities caused government officials to contact the police. A city-wide search was organised, but nobody could foresee the woman would change her plans.”

Now wait. Was it racism or money problems?

I mean, there are lots of native Europeans going through financial problems of all sorts, and I'm sure that it doesn't qualify as racism.

I've also noticed the car they've acquired. "Citroen Garage". Searching I find out that it is a design exclusive for the C6 series. The most basic model of Citroen C6 Garage sells for 41,900 euros (petrol) or 44,700 euros (diesel). I wonder if they got the Lignage or Exclusive models, instead of the basic. And if they ordered it with many extras.

Lately I've been craving for a motorcycle. Something like this one here:



I'd look much better than the Jap on it. And I wouldn't have any trouble with resting my feet on the ground. Unlike him.

If I took an ultra-tan this summer and go up north and threaten with burning someone ... not me! I have to be on conditions to drive the motorbyke! I need a volunteer

I think somebody trained her ... maybe she is feeble minded ... in Italy ugandan prostitutes are kept slaves by fellow ugandans by the menace of black sorcery's rituals.

I wonder if some immigrationist agency didn't do a work of such kind.

It is not so far-fetched, immigration serves powerful economic interests, who are now well defended in the public opinion by creating a sense of collective guilt and public sympathy for immigrants.

Curiously there was a gathering of reporters at hand, which demonstrates at least that the poor woman could afford the luxury to be informed ... or was informed by somebody in the trade.

While such act will shut up or tame for months any anti-immigration voice.

Maybe Luxembourg will have to tame itself into becoming a multicultural little Sweden

It is probably not a case for her stalking of a prime Minister that is likely too smart to be left where he is.

Makes a lot of sense what you say; it is a very common cultural trait among africans to use their women and children for the cause of their interests...

We have also the simpler hypothesis, that one on which all the immigration push misunderstanding is based.

Africans are lured into Europe by false mirages coming from television: a land of easy money, where everybody gets rich.

Recently, a brave tv spot by the swiss authorities has tried to show the africans a different reality, even if with few probabilities of success, if not followed by a coherent campaign all across european medias that are read and seen in Africa.

Now, this couple probably thought they had a vested right to become entrepreneurs, that there were no european competitors trying to do the same with an obviously better knowledge of the mores of the country they wanted to start a business in and a reliable european identity and certifiable past.

They thought probably that banks were to lend them money for free or nothing, that they were called here to get rich.

It is very naive and it demonstrates again the naivete of such population, again a demonstration of their being unfit to live among us.

Africans i have spoken are convinced they have a right to live here simply because they are human, and red politicians and immigrationist organization teach them to think so.

Those pics are total insanity. Puts Hollywood to shame.

[Carnyx]

Even more impressive.

If a person gets such horrible injuries and pain because of an accident, in war or for other reasons, I might have mercy with this individual almost no matter where from and who it is or was, but if someone is setting himself in fire for whatever reason, it was their decision. And for individuals setting their foot on Europe, a land foreign to them and inhabited by other people which are better suited for it, they should know what it is about and blame others the least.

The most human thing for such extreme cases of crippledness, defacement and pain is a fast death - this would be my wish at least. The long therapies and large investments will be all gone and one could ask what she paid for the European social and health system, which will have to cope with her injuries caused by her own fault.

If so called "racists" would have set her in fire, she would have more reasons to blame "European racists" and I would have more mercy with her, but apparently, this is not the case and I dont care for the rest.

Another point against her is the whole theatralic beginning of the story, since if she would have done it out of affections coming rapidly, it would be again another matter. But since she made a meeting with journalists and tried to avoid the police and helpers for her action, she again is fully responsible and planned her crime. I'm more sorry for the people who had to see her madness and the poor and weak European souls who will be even more "multicultural, pseudotolerant and open to foreign immigration" because of such a poor "victim" - even if she is only a victim of her own infatuation.

I was indebted for a certain period of time, but never considered setting myself on fire because of that.

If her depth were the reason she should have set herself on fire in front of a plutocratic bank or international organisation protesting against the plutocratic oligarchy of the high finance and Neoliberalism rather than racism.

Yes, that would have made more sense. But appealing to "racism" is more fashionable these days...

...

I agree. The people close to this woman very likely encouraged her crazy fantasies because they saw the value of a media event. The news story says she was accompanied by her husband. What kind of bastard encourages his own wife (or any human being) to do this? That is evil.
