Linus Neumann: My dear community!
0:00:13.619,0:00:19.210
Now the moment you’ve all been waiting for
0:00:19.210,0:00:23.050
without even knowing[br]what that moment would be.
0:00:23.050,0:00:29.070
As hackers we think a lot[br]about virtual gates
0:00:29.070,0:00:33.940
and how to overcome them.
0:00:33.940,0:00:38.940
But away from keyboard[br]our competence and resources
0:00:38.940,0:00:45.020
in overcoming gates[br]are maybe limited a bit.
0:00:45.020,0:00:51.489
So for this motto we had to find[br]a very special keynote speaker.
0:00:51.489,0:00:57.329
Somebody with experience[br]of overcoming physical gates
0:00:57.329,0:01:03.040
or borders, as some people call them.
0:01:03.040,0:01:07.359
Our keynote speaker has overcome[br]physical borders twice.
0:01:07.359,0:01:13.719
She was born in Somalia and escaped[br]to Kenya when she was still a child.
0:01:13.719,0:01:20.499
And just recently she escaped Kenya[br]to search refuge here, in Germany.
0:01:20.499,0:01:25.429
Carina Haupt: She hates the term “refugee”.
0:01:25.429,0:01:30.159
Instead, she prefers the term: “newcomer”.
0:01:30.159,0:01:33.869
She worked with international[br]humanitarian organizations
0:01:33.869,0:01:36.679
in the Dadaab Refugee Camp in Kenya.
0:01:36.679,0:01:43.429
So not only does she know[br]these camps as visitor
0:01:43.429,0:01:47.829
but also as an humanitarian aid worker.
0:01:47.829,0:01:53.179
Linus: We’re curious for her unique[br]perspectives and insights.
0:01:53.179,0:01:55.909
Please welcome Fatuma Musa Afrah!
0:01:55.909,0:01:56.450

Angel: You have to take that microphone, please.[br]Fatuma: laughing Oh, what’s going on?
0:02:51.650,0:02:56.160
For an hour, this! Okay.
0:02:56.160,0:02:59.620
I’m not used to this anyway,[br]points at headset mike
0:02:59.620,0:03:00.540
I’m friend more with this![br]points at handset mike
0:03:00.540,0:03:04.340
But when I get tired,[br]I hope I will keep it somewhere.
0:03:04.340,0:03:08.650
Thank you so much, dear Linus[br]and the beautiful Carina
0:03:08.650,0:03:10.050
for this beautiful introduction.
0:03:10.050,0:03:17.070
I have no words to say. I remember[br]when Linus wrote me this long email
0:03:17.070,0:03:21.430
and asking me: “We would love[br]to have you here” and I was like:
0:03:21.430,0:03:25.340
“What is Chaos Computer Club?”[br]I just gave him a call
0:03:25.340,0:03:28.780
after I received the mail from him.[br]And he was like: “You will understand,
0:03:28.780,0:03:32.490
for now you don't know, but:[br]Can we please meet and discuss this?”
0:03:32.490,0:03:36.240
And I was like: “In the field of IT,[br]that I don’t know anything about?"
0:03:36.240,0:03:42.160
The only thing I know about it[br]is the basic use of my Laptop,
0:03:42.160,0:03:49.000
which is a compulsory thing to do[br]because of the world we're at right now.
0:03:49.000,0:03:52.140
And I would like to ask everybody[br]in the audience to give
0:03:52.140,0:03:56.640
a very heavy round of 'pplause[br]for the man who succeeded
0:03:56.640,0:04:00.270
in bringing me here because I can’t[br]say other things because of being
0:04:00.270,0:04:08.050
in front of you. Thank you[br]so much to Linus and the Angels.
0:04:08.050,0:04:19.048
Can we give a round of applause?[br]applause
0:04:19.048,0:04:26.199
I told him actually that time:[br]"You are a damn good business marketer!"
0:04:26.199,0:04:30.379
That’s actually the term I used.[br]And he told me:
0:04:30.379,0:04:35.099
“Oh yeah, I gotta try what it takes[br]to bring you here.”
0:04:35.099,0:04:37.930
And I was like: “Thank you so much for[br]having me here.”
0:04:37.930,0:04:41.460
Before I proceed to dip into – huh huh –
0:04:41.460,0:04:45.520
the one long hour which[br]I hardly did it, to be honest.
0:04:45.520,0:04:49.270
With other combination, yes,[br]as a motivational speaker.
0:04:49.270,0:04:52.039
But just one good hour talking by myself?[br]laughs
0:04:52.039,0:04:55.800
This is a beautiful experience,[br]and to be honest
0:04:55.800,0:05:01.159
I haven’t been in front of this huge,[br]larg..., damn big audience.
0:05:01.159,0:05:09.099
I’m used to maybe … heh, is it strange[br]to say 2000?
0:05:09.099,0:05:13.569
laughs[br]Ya, I don’t know.
0:05:13.569,0:05:18.629
I’m just so grateful, feel so honored,[br]humbled to have me here.
0:05:18.629,0:05:22.889
And the majority of you being hackers.[br]I don’t know what “hacker” means,
0:05:22.889,0:05:26.120
but somehow I understand what[br]it means after the long discussion
0:05:26.120,0:05:29.669
and several meetings that I had[br]with my dear Linus.
0:05:29.669,0:05:34.270
I don’t know, sometimes I pronounce the[br]German names wrongly, don’t get me wrong,
0:05:34.270,0:05:39.189
like I remember Carina telling me:[br]“The English speaking people and other
0:05:39.189,0:05:42.800
people have a problem with my name[br]the way it’s pronounced." And I was like:
0:05:42.800,0:05:45.139
“Okay, how do they pronounce it?”[br]– "Carrrina" (German rolling “r”)
0:05:45.139,0:05:49.639
And I said: “I know that: Carina”[br](perfect pronounciation)
0:05:49.639,0:05:51.699
I have the German-typical “r” with me.
0:05:51.699,0:05:54.860
I’m just very shocked here[br]in Deutschland (Germany), like,
0:05:54.860,0:05:59.189
one year and eight month soon[br]graduates into two complete years.
0:05:59.189,0:06:00.979
Und, mein Deutsch ist kaputt, aber…[br](my German is broken, but…)
0:06:00.979,0:06:01.009
laughter, applause
0:06:01.009,0:06:01.089
Vielen Dank
0:06:01.089,0:06:05.520
Ich spreche ein bisschen Deutsch.[br](I speak a little German.)
0:06:05.520,0:06:10.020
Ich bin in die Schule drei Monaten,[br](I am in school three months,)
0:06:10.020,0:06:12.449
aber ich verstehe nicht so gut Deutsch.[br](but I don’t understand German very well.)
0:06:12.449,0:06:13.349
Warum?[br](Why?)
0:06:13.349,0:06:13.800
laughs
0:06:13.800,0:06:16.120
Deutsch ist schwer.[br](German is hard.)
0:06:16.120,0:06:22.889
Aber habe hier andere Menschen oder Leute,[br](but I’ve got other people here)
0:06:22.889,0:06:27.059
nicht die sprechen Deutsch?[br](not who speaks German?)
0:06:27.059,0:06:32.870
laughing Aber ich viel besser auf Englisch
0:06:32.870,0:06:37.309
Did you understand my Deutsch (German)[br]from that practice? applause
0:06:37.309,0:06:41.409
Thank you.[br]applause
0:06:41.409,0:06:44.289
I gotta practice my Deutsch whenever[br]I go in public, otherwise
0:06:44.289,0:06:49.990
I will stay forgotten in my language because[br]I consider it my language right now
0:06:49.990,0:06:54.409
because I belong to this community.[br]I’m a German!
0:06:54.409,0:06:58.419
Some people will ask me: “You are a German?”[br]shyly: “Aha?”
0:06:58.419,0:07:00.869
You understand, obviously, when you tell somebody[br]"I'm a German" in THIS! points at her clothing
0:07:00.869,0:07:06.029
You understand what I mean?[br]I don’t have to explain (laughs) in detail.
0:07:06.029,0:07:10.569
And I remember one guy told me: “Hey,[br]how are you?” – I met him in an event
0:07:11.069,0:07:14.960
And I said: “Cool.” And he said: “What’s[br]your name?” And I said: “My name is Fatuma.”
0:07:14.960,0:07:18.669
And he said: “Where do you come from?”[br]I told him: “From a human world.”
0:07:18.669,0:07:25.349
And he said: “Huh, human world?”[br]applause
0:07:25.349,0:07:27.159
Thank you!
0:07:27.159,0:07:32.529
"What did you expect me to give you[br]as an answer?"
0:07:32.529,0:07:36.319
And he said: “Yeah, well, I don’t[br]know, this is a typical question,
0:07:36.319,0:07:39.759
as Germans we ask everytime.”[br]And I asked him: “Don’t behave
0:07:39.759,0:07:44.110
like the Germans behave,[br]behave as who you are!
0:07:44.110,0:07:47.610
Don’t bring me like I’m a dumb and I’m[br]a
0:07:47.610,0:07:49.289
Somalian this, and... I don’t believe in[br]that!
0:07:49.289,0:07:53.149
I believe in an individual choice,[br]an individual decision
0:07:53.149,0:07:57.710
and an individual mind for love.[br]That’s what I believe in.
0:07:57.710,0:08:00.740
sternly: Don’t follow what[br]other says because they say it
0:08:00.740,0:08:04.419
or you found it there. Be creative[br]and find a way to change things
0:08:04.419,0:08:11.009
And how we do it?[br]Is within us.
0:08:11.009,0:08:13.449
applause
0:08:13.449,0:08:18.309
Thank you![br]Going directly to the concept today,
0:08:18.309,0:08:23.129
Gated Community,[br]I wanna be honest with you.
0:08:23.129,0:08:27.699
When Linus came to me and asked me:[br]“We want you to be our keynote speaker,
0:08:27.699,0:08:32.190
do you understand what a Gated[br]Community means?” And I told him:
0:08:32.190,0:08:36.240
"Obviously, yes.”[br]And he said: “What is it?”
0:08:36.240,0:08:40.470
And I told him: “Coming together.”[br]laughs I wanna be honest!
0:08:40.470,0:08:45.850
And today it’s so funny after the long[br]explanation he gave me
0:08:45.850,0:08:50.810
I gotta be standing here,[br]in front of this big, beautiful audience,
0:08:50.810,0:08:55.680
listening to me about Gated Community,[br]a topic connected to Gated Community.
0:08:55.680,0:08:59.600
So, learning is a process.[br]We don’t know everything
0:08:59.600,0:09:02.460
and I wanna be honest I didn’t know much[br]about Gated Community until
0:09:02.460,0:09:05.930
he brought up the topic and he said:[br]“I believe you can do it.”
0:09:05.930,0:09:09.220
Thanks Linus for giving me the belief[br]to be here
0:09:09.220,0:09:12.550
and make it happen in a possible way.[br]Thank you so much
0:09:12.550,0:09:16.600
for the deep explanation. And thank you[br]so much to everybody in the audience
0:09:16.600,0:09:20.380
for taking your beautiful time.[br]The Angels – I’m part of them,
0:09:20.380,0:09:23.870
you see what I have?[br]I’m part of them. I didn’t do much,
0:09:23.870,0:09:26.560
I was just feeding myself with my[br]small belly.
0:09:26.560,0:09:32.900
But I tried, somehow. I want to connect[br]the concept of Gated Community
0:09:32.900,0:09:37.660
through a simple… and funny story
0:09:37.660,0:09:40.410
while my stay here in Deutschland.
0:09:40.410,0:09:47.190
I’m usually a quick speaker[br]but today I gotta slow down
0:09:47.190,0:09:50.710
for everybody to understand me[br]and also to kill the one hour.
0:09:50.710,0:09:53.910
Don’t you think it’s too long to be here[br]for one good hour?
0:09:53.910,0:09:58.070
I’m already damn thirsty so I gotta have[br]some water in the process
0:09:58.070,0:09:59.970
before I start my funny–
0:09:59.970,0:10:04.710
I’m not used to gassed water, is this with[br]gas? Don’t make me vomit on this stage!
0:10:04.710,0:10:05.070
laughter
0:10:05.070,0:10:11.900
louder: Can I have water without gas?[br]I had already some problem with this.
0:10:11.900,0:10:13.360
Sorry.
0:10:13.360,0:10:17.660
No, I can’t take this, sorry.
0:10:17.660,0:10:19.990
I can’t shake it! Shake it yourself.
0:10:19.990,0:10:21.410
laughter
0:10:21.410,0:10:26.780
So, going to this funny story[br]about Deutschland;
0:10:26.780,0:10:29.240
what a beautiful children[br]that I worked with.
0:10:29.240,0:10:33.380
This will be part of my deeper story later.
0:10:33.380,0:10:37.010
I taught a German school as an[br]English assistant teacher because
0:10:37.010,0:10:40.080
I was not a professional,[br]annoyedly clears her throat
0:10:40.080,0:10:42.130
I was not a professional English teacher.
0:10:42.130,0:10:45.190
Neither do I have any[br]experience in teaching.
0:10:45.190,0:10:48.830
But I just wanted to contribute[br]and give something back
0:10:48.830,0:10:51.700
to the German community[br]since they where trying their best
0:10:51.700,0:10:55.120
to give us something, you know?[br]And I went out,
0:10:55.120,0:10:59.060
I remember, to our manager and[br]asked him how – which I will go back
0:10:59.060,0:11:04.880
to this story later in deep – but the[br]funny story about it is that the children,
0:11:04.880,0:11:07.820
they saw me in this outfit[br]– from head to toe –
0:11:07.820,0:11:11.180
and I could not speak German[br]most of the time.
0:11:11.180,0:11:15.390
I had very nice teachers who were translating[br]hand-to-hand with me all the time
0:11:15.390,0:11:19.670
because this school had almost three[br]hundred and sixty-something children
0:11:19.670,0:11:25.320
and all of them were in this Brandenburg[br]– you know Brandenburg?
0:11:25.320,0:11:32.380
The beautiful Brandenburg? –[br]...Most of them were blonde.
0:11:32.380,0:11:35.940
And then one of the child told me:[br]higher pitched: "Frau Fatumo..."
0:11:35.940,0:11:38.290
I said: "Yees, bitte??"[br]interrupts
0:11:38.290,0:11:43.250
to Angel on stage: Thank you so so much![br]I honestly appreciate it!
0:11:43.250,0:11:45.100
Thank you so much![br]applause
0:11:45.100,0:11:51.590
You give applause to the man[br]who feeds the Poor People!
0:11:51.590,0:11:57.310
Thanks! laughs[br]thanks!
0:11:57.310,0:12:00.700
So this child asked me...[br]The children were wondering all the time
0:12:00.700,0:12:04.420
– because of how I'm covered –[br]if I have ears;
0:12:04.420,0:12:11.110
they were doubting if I have hair. You know[br]that like the normal human functionings.
0:12:11.110,0:12:11.640
laughs
0:12:11.640,0:12:16.120
And then these children all the time busy[br]touching me if I'm really a human,
0:12:16.120,0:12:22.520
everywhere, you know?[br]Another problem was this: that skin color.
0:12:22.520,0:12:26.570
And one of the children asked me.
0:12:26.570,0:12:29.060
She was so intelligent, she[br]was so in love with me, that...
0:12:29.060,0:12:31.450
she was so nice and kind, you know?
0:12:31.450,0:12:35.730
Love and kindness doesn't come with[br]the language, it comes from the heart.
0:12:35.730,0:12:38.400
And this child was all the time[br]bringing me drawings with love
0:12:38.400,0:12:41.240
from her family and everything...[br]bringing it to me and say:
0:12:41.240,0:12:44.550
higher pitched: "Ha, da, warte mal,[br]ich hab' hier DAS, ich hab' hier DAS!
0:12:44.550,0:12:48.930
And I am like "Okay, thank you so much!"[br]and then I kept piling these stuffs
0:12:48.930,0:12:52.910
from the children, actually I didn't wanna[br]throw because they were my first family
0:12:52.910,0:12:57.580
when I was just 4-months-old in Deutschland,[br]when I felt my life is over,
0:12:57.580,0:13:00.450
I have no more family, I'm all alone.
0:13:00.450,0:13:07.260
My life is completely different again,[br]I got to struggle in this lifestyle.
0:13:07.260,0:13:10.970
So... this lady took me to the wash room.
0:13:10.970,0:13:13.630
And she said: higher pitched: "Yeah, bla bla."[br]I didn't understand, I asked the teacher
0:13:13.630,0:13:15.940
and the children like: "What... where do[br]you wanna take her?"
0:13:15.940,0:13:19.460
...to the wash room and then she did[br]immediately higher-pitched: "feeeee!"
0:13:19.460,0:13:24.290
...to confirm the hair is there[br]She did peek to confirm I have ears.
0:13:24.290,0:13:29.300
She left me alone. So another child[br]asked me, because of the skin color
0:13:29.300,0:13:38.870
because it was different from the whole[br]school: if I become white during night!
0:13:38.870,0:13:43.030
laughter
0:13:43.030,0:13:47.270
And I said: "Come again!"[br]Honestly!
0:13:47.270,0:13:50.680
If something keeps my day going,[br]laughs
0:13:50.680,0:13:54.990
Whenever I remember this, whether I'm[br]alone or whether I'm with somebody,
0:13:54.990,0:13:59.820
I just laugh, because this explains[br]about the world we live in.
0:13:59.820,0:14:04.360
And the answer I gave the child was:[br]"I'm black always."
0:14:04.360,0:14:08.280
high pitched: "Was?"[br]And then they were concerned why here is
0:14:08.280,0:14:09.780
points at inner side of hand[br]different from here.
0:14:09.780,0:14:16.500
shows outer side of hand[br]To go to the point this is apparent failure
0:14:16.500,0:14:20.680
and this is the meaning of a[br]Gated Community. As a parent
0:14:20.680,0:14:25.200
it's upon our responsibility[br]to educate our childen
0:14:25.200,0:14:32.820
about what kind of world we live in.[br]Educate them about EVERYTHING!
0:14:32.820,0:14:34.790
applause
0:14:34.790,0:14:41.030
Thank you![br]Thank you so much.
0:14:41.030,0:14:45.100
I don't think these children will[br]be so busy about all of THIS
0:14:45.100,0:14:48.970
if the parent would have given them[br]the proper education they needed
0:14:48.970,0:14:52.550
by just showing them at least[br]something about it like we exist
0:14:52.550,0:14:57.280
in a world of diversed communities[br]in terms of color,
0:14:57.280,0:15:03.070
in terms of eyes appearance in terms[br]of height, in terms of everything.
0:15:03.070,0:15:05.510
So I hope from there those[br]children have learnt something
0:15:05.510,0:15:08.200
– I never hold any grudge[br]against innocent children –
0:15:08.200,0:15:11.880
They are so beautiful, so kind,[br]they're just curious, you know?
0:15:11.880,0:15:15.970
When they're growing up they're so beautiful.[br]I'm hoping to have five kids soon,
0:15:15.970,0:15:20.600
and... Hopefully, too, they'll be beautiful.[br]I want to have my own choir,
0:15:20.600,0:15:23.200
my own community in my own house.[br]But I,... yeah!
0:15:23.200,0:15:26.210
We'll light for these 5 kids,[br]hopefully, one day.
0:15:26.210,0:15:30.279
And, that was the story[br]about the children.
0:15:30.279,0:15:35.050
And now in connection with "Gated[br]Community" like I said previously -
0:15:35.050,0:15:41.010
I don't wanna do a lot of repetition:[br]Let us stand up for change!
0:15:41.010,0:15:44.600
Let us stand up for information![br]Let us stand up
0:15:44.600,0:15:50.180
for connecting each other to reality!
0:15:50.180,0:15:55.250
Let us inform each other what's there!
0:15:55.250,0:16:00.310
Find a way to communicate![br]Find a way to open these gates!
0:16:00.310,0:16:05.279
And how you open these gates[br]everybody has the key in the own hand,
0:16:05.279,0:16:08.990
in their own mind, however you[br]describe it. It's a responsibility
0:16:08.990,0:16:14.620
that it is within each and[br]every individual within us.
0:16:14.620,0:16:19.680
I remember educating my Mom -[br]'cause I grew up,
0:16:19.680,0:16:25.900
as you can see, the description from me,[br]a religious family.
0:16:25.900,0:16:29.180
And I'm not doing this[br]because they forced me to
0:16:29.180,0:16:31.600
but this is me what I wanted to.
0:16:31.600,0:16:37.870
Just to have a point of clear understanding[br]about what I'm explaining.
0:16:37.870,0:16:40.860
My Mom, I remember[br]educating her everytime:
0:16:40.860,0:16:45.279
"Mommy, ... !". Because I had a lot of friends[br]when I was in the university
0:16:45.279,0:16:48.740
who were Christians and I used to tell mama
0:16:48.740,0:16:53.430
"We got to open our arms for everybody!"[br]She was so kind and generous, definitely.
0:16:53.430,0:16:57.400
But they're these kind of levels of[br]helping each other that we need to.
0:16:57.400,0:17:02.420
And failure to do that: nobody else will.
0:17:02.420,0:17:05.839
We have to respect each other,[br]regardless of who we are.
0:17:05.839,0:17:09.660
Personally, I don't care about stupid color,
0:17:09.660,0:17:12.910
this plays no role in my world whatsoever.
0:17:12.910,0:17:17.459
I don't care about THIS,[br]this is an individual belief.
0:17:17.459,0:17:24.180
That's up to YOU. I don't discriminate[br]people against their social status.
0:17:24.180,0:17:28.530
I believe in a world of respect.
0:17:28.530,0:17:34.010
I believe in a world belonging to[br]people with respect and peace.
0:17:34.010,0:17:37.860
And that's all I go for. No more, no less!
0:17:37.860,0:17:41.460
Just respect, passion, based on the heart[br]That's what I go for.
0:17:41.460,0:17:45.540
As long as you can respect me and we can[br]understand each other
0:17:45.540,0:17:49.880
what else do I look for, more?[br]Absolutely nothing.
0:17:49.880,0:17:55.400
I just respect you, who you are.[br]The good respect and connections we have,
0:17:55.400,0:17:59.760
and that's all I go for. The rest is bullshit.
0:17:59.760,0:18:02.070
applause
0:18:02.070,0:18:13.510
They call it "Cheers!". This is my alcohol,[br]I've never drunk alcohol...
0:18:13.510,0:18:15.630
and will I ever![br]small fraction applauding
0:18:15.630,0:18:18.290
surprisingly shouting:[br]Aaah! Applause for my alcohol!
0:18:18.290,0:18:21.710
Can we have applause for my[br]alcohol drinking!? laughs
0:18:21.710,0:18:23.230
This is funny![br]laughs
0:18:23.230,0:18:32.200
And the other funny story[br]I would like to share
0:18:32.200,0:18:34.650
– but this has nothing to do[br]with Gated Community -
0:18:34.650,0:18:41.410
is, you know, the developed world.
0:18:41.410,0:18:45.220
It will have something to do with it[br]in the Gated Community section,
0:18:45.220,0:18:53.480
depending on how I explain it.
0:18:53.480,0:18:57.830
When I was new in Deutschland,
0:18:57.830,0:19:00.660
where I come from there are no trains.
0:19:00.660,0:19:05.410
I'm not used to trains, honestly.[br]I'm used to planes! descending whistle
0:19:05.410,0:19:08.520
They are easy, yes. But trains: NO!
0:19:08.520,0:19:14.090
So, laughs one of the drama thing[br]that happened to me when I came to German'
0:19:14.090,0:19:21.040
the first time I came by flight then the next[br]I remember I went to Frankfurt the first time.
0:19:21.040,0:19:25.100
And then I asked. I was told: "Go to the train!"
0:19:25.100,0:19:31.090
Now the problem was: chuckles[br]I see this LONG train! chuckles again
0:19:31.090,0:19:35.610
This has nothing to do with education.[br]No matter, how you're educated.
0:19:35.610,0:19:40.400
Some things don't need multi education[br]but needs to be used to that.
0:19:40.400,0:19:44.860
So I remember going to the train.
0:19:44.860,0:19:50.210
The first train left me because[br]I didn't know how to open!
0:19:50.210,0:19:53.710
And I was a newcomer – don't call us[br]refugees, a point of correction.
0:19:53.710,0:19:57.120
Call me by my name![br]If that's not enough,
0:19:57.120,0:20:00.730
call me any other more beautiful name,[br]choose! I don't restrict, I believe
0:20:00.730,0:20:05.540
in a world of freedom. But as long as[br]it's beautiful and not insulting
0:20:05.540,0:20:08.600
then I give you the freedom.
0:20:08.600,0:20:15.170
So, the first train left me, so[br]I had to stand there in this cold.
0:20:15.170,0:20:18.559
Luckily enough I got the help from a woman[br]that I even didn't know.
0:20:18.559,0:20:23.270
But God knows what was going in my head.[br]I thought like, because I had a bad information
0:20:23.270,0:20:27.059
about Deutschland until I discovered[br]slowly by slowly by myself
0:20:27.059,0:20:35.050
that: don't listen to what others say,[br]listen to your heart!
0:20:35.050,0:20:37.570
I went with this woman,[br]she saved me.
0:20:37.570,0:20:40.110
We will come back to this[br]bigger story later.
0:20:40.110,0:20:43.840
raising voice again:[br]So, what did I had to do to open the next
0:20:43.840,0:20:44.080
train
0:20:44.080,0:20:47.960
which will be coming in 40 minutes?[br]I stood there trying to calculate,
0:20:47.960,0:20:51.510
and I didn't want to look ignorant,[br]you know? This is the worst thing!
0:20:51.510,0:20:54.990
You better ask than pretending to[br]know something and you don't know!
0:20:54.990,0:20:57.330
This is the worst thing a human[br]being should ever do.
0:20:57.330,0:21:01.910
So I stood there, I said: "Next time[br]when the train comes...",
0:21:01.910,0:21:06.170
because I was in the end and then I came[br]in the middle, where there're some people,
0:21:06.170,0:21:10.160
so that I stand next to the people.[br]When they open I go in with them.
0:21:10.160,0:21:15.020
I look where they open, and then I stand[br]behind them and then I get in there.
0:21:15.020,0:21:20.230
Otherwise I'll end up in a ship, (?)[br]left again by the second train.
0:21:20.230,0:21:23.350
So educating yourself in a culture,
0:21:23.350,0:21:26.250
in a very developed country[br]that you don't know
0:21:26.250,0:21:29.470
is a big risk and it's a big challenge.[br]Anyway,
0:21:29.470,0:21:33.920
the second train did not leave me[br]because I folled the followers.
0:21:33.920,0:21:36.910
And she pressed, she got in another person[br]– that was an old man –
0:21:36.910,0:21:39.929
I was so kind to give him a way because[br]I got to get in anyway.
0:21:39.929,0:21:42.150
So I got in! I was safe!
0:21:42.150,0:21:46.900
The next step: using the toilet.[br]How the hell do I use the toilet?
0:21:46.900,0:21:52.020
chuckles I wanna be honest,[br]I don't wanna hide anything.
0:21:52.020,0:21:55.650
I got in the toilet![br]I saw a woman comin' out, I got it,
0:21:55.650,0:21:58.110
and this toilet were Automatic Toilet!
0:21:58.110,0:22:00.760
chuckling, losing words by that: And I[br]got stuck there .. for toilet .. five minute!
0:22:00.760,0:22:08.000
I tried to open, it doesn't open,[br]I tried to open.
0:22:08.000,0:22:11.710
The next time I didn't miss the...[br]try touching the Alarm.
0:22:11.710,0:22:14.850
imitates alarm sound:[br]WEEE OOOO WEEE OOOO WEEEK
0:22:14.850,0:22:18.820
I was like: "Why the hell is Polizei coming[br]!?"
0:22:18.820,0:22:19.309
chuckles
0:22:19.309,0:22:22.809
Anyway, they're kind they helped[br]me while I sweated too much
0:22:22.809,0:22:25.850
thinking "My life is...", "What the hell[br]is going on?" "Where did I...?"
0:22:25.850,0:22:30.640
"Where am I?" I didn't know, honestly.[br]And this was so hard for me.
0:22:30.640,0:22:35.610
So, in connections that this what[br]I wanna say is: Please give information
0:22:35.610,0:22:40.330
to the newcomers when they're coming.[br]Try to sacrifice a little bit of your time.
0:22:40.330,0:22:44.140
It's similar to you guys when you come[br]to Africa, we have these beautiful toilets,
0:22:44.140,0:22:47.890
that inside whatever you put [br]from behind inside, you will sit!
0:22:47.890,0:22:52.450
So if you go to these big holes and sit there[br]you will be shocked, as well!
0:22:52.450,0:22:58.590
Like: "This might... I might die inside...[br]The toilet is looking at me!"
0:22:58.590,0:23:03.710
This is a reality, that's where we are from.[br]Can we give the beautiful toilets in Africa
0:23:03.710,0:23:11.190
a big applause?[br]applause
0:23:11.190,0:23:13.380
Thank you!
0:23:13.380,0:23:20.860
Going to the Gated Community issues,[br]please, if I'm too fast, you don't understand
0:23:20.860,0:23:25.720
the little English that I've learnt kindly[br]raise your hand, I give you the freedom
0:23:25.720,0:23:31.760
to ask me "Please slow down!", or "Please[br]use very simple terminologies!"
0:23:31.760,0:23:37.040
It's a gift, I give it to you. So, if I'm[br]too fast also that will be a nice idea from
0:23:37.040,0:23:37.140
you
0:23:37.140,0:23:44.840
because we have to kill the 1 hour together.[br]Just tell me. It's not a necessary thing.
0:23:44.840,0:23:51.620
So anyway, the developed world
0:23:51.620,0:23:55.580
– I don't wanna point any specific country[br]–
0:23:55.580,0:23:59.690
not only the developed world, even the[br]developing world, we have all these different
0:23:59.690,0:24:04.710
kinds of gated communities.[br]Whether it's in a profession, whether it's
0:24:04.710,0:24:04.929
just
0:24:04.929,0:24:11.160
a small settlement of communities.[br]In all directions, these exist.
0:24:11.160,0:24:17.120
It's a fact which is there. And I always[br]hoped for a perfect world
0:24:17.120,0:24:21.559
which is never gonna be so soon or it's[br]gonna be there at all. I don't think so.
0:24:21.559,0:24:28.130
You'll always dream of this perfect world[br]which there is no killing, no war,
0:24:28.130,0:24:33.360
no disrespect, no racism or whatever.[br]But this will be a long jouney!
0:24:33.360,0:24:40.530
And the journey belongs to all of us.[br]How we view it, how we wanna make a change,
0:24:40.530,0:24:47.850
it's a decision that belongs collectively[br]to all of us. I don't know how to do IT,
0:24:47.850,0:24:53.440
but before the... I will be here for 4 good[br]days, I hope I'll have some basic
0:24:53.440,0:25:00.360
– I have basic, of course, computer usage,[br]I have some – but the bigger one, well,
0:25:00.360,0:25:04.290
everybody: what is wrong with that IT[br]experts? They're always like this...
0:25:04.290,0:25:07.910
You're sitting next to them like I was[br]yesterday, yeah, sitting next to people...
0:25:07.910,0:25:11.000
People are busy: pop-pop-pop-pop-pop-pop![br]And I was like: "These are machines or
0:25:11.000,0:25:13.390
human beings?"
0:25:13.390,0:25:20.330
Sorry, I don't meant to disrespect[br]or insult, sorry.
0:25:20.330,0:25:24.549
But you got to raise your head a bit up[br]and see the next person sitting.
0:25:24.549,0:25:30.540
Some people are looking at me very strangely,[br]wondering what kind of a hacker is this woman?
0:25:30.540,0:25:35.480
Honestly, I had a lot of looks like this until[br]I was asking people next to me what's going
0:25:35.480,0:25:35.600
on,
0:25:35.600,0:25:37.910
is there something wrong with me,[br]check me out!
0:25:37.910,0:25:41.290
And it was like "You are perfectly fine,[br]maybe... these are hackers, they have
0:25:41.290,0:25:44.620
never seen a hacker like you".[br]And I said: "The world is changing,
0:25:44.620,0:25:47.540
I got to be one, one day".[br]applause
0:25:47.540,0:25:58.540
Vielen Dank, mit Deinen 'pplaus[br](Thank you, with your applause)
0:25:58.540,0:26:02.920
Is that how it's called? Is that correct,[br]the German way?
0:26:02.920,0:26:04.520
Vielen Dank, mit Deinen...[br](Thank you, with your...)
0:26:04.520,0:26:08.860
You said this! *thumbs down"[br]This means wrong! ... He?
0:26:08.860,0:26:13.720
fuer? für? ...[br]Oh, that's a typical German...
0:26:13.720,0:26:17.520
Say "für euren" !![br]("for your")
0:26:17.520,0:26:21.320
That's a complicated German term!
0:26:21.320,0:26:34.240
Anyway, thank you so much![br]Now, I want to go ... next ... is ... coming
0:26:34.240,0:26:36.020
up...
0:26:36.020,0:26:42.230
is my personal story in connection with[br]the gated community.
0:26:42.230,0:26:46.190
I'm sure you received this surprise![br]Well connected, and a newcomer in front of
0:26:46.190,0:26:46.990
you
0:26:46.990,0:26:54.360
and explaining how gated community affects[br]us, and now I hope I will try to figure out
0:26:54.360,0:27:04.850
everything in a beautiful flowered manner[br]to fix the context and my story together.
0:27:04.850,0:27:09.490
Can I go next story I don't know IT?
0:27:09.490,0:27:14.559
Hey, you got to help me, I'm honest,[br]I don't know...nothing.
0:27:14.559,0:27:17.200
What is this?[br]audience amused
0:27:17.200,0:27:21.730
Hey, hey-hey-hey-hey.[br]Linus, come over please!
0:27:21.730,0:27:27.870
Fix this damage! Now you are ruining[br]my speech, what is this?
0:27:27.870,0:27:30.799

This is bullshit, my Italian friend said,[br]this
0:27:33.230,0:27:36.429
is bullshit. Now we... this is, that's the...
0:27:36.429,0:27:38.660
another problem, they just come here and this[br]is
0:27:38.660,0:27:40.299
what they do, this is bullshit...
0:27:40.299,0:27:45.059
THIS is not bullshit, this is beautiful!![br]audience amused
0:27:45.059,0:27:50.840
Thank you! That's my beautiful Italian friend,[br]I don't mean to disrespect the language
0:27:50.840,0:27:52.660
but it looks so interested...
0:27:52.660,0:27:58.590
No no, don't go too high! Leave it to me![br]I can control!
0:27:58.590,0:28:01.429
Just leave me like "Next, next, next!"[br]and then I can take care of it,
0:28:01.429,0:28:08.760
thank you so much! You don't have to do much[br]work. Free! You're free!
0:28:08.760,0:28:10.169
Thanks!
0:28:10.169,0:28:14.490
I 'came two times a newcomer in my life.
0:28:14.490,0:28:19.370
The first time I was a newcomer[br]in my own continent.
0:28:19.370,0:28:23.910
Next... the neighbor, next to[br]my country, that's Kenya.
0:28:23.910,0:28:29.049
I grew up in Kenya. I don't know how it feels
0:28:29.049,0:28:32.610
when my mom went through all this pain.
0:28:32.610,0:28:37.020
When she took the five of us – one was[br]inside.
0:28:37.020,0:28:43.169
When she took us from the war country,[br]bringing us to Kayner???
0:28:43.169,0:28:48.860
And the main reason was my father was[br]killed, I wasn't lucky to see my father.
0:28:48.860,0:28:54.130
And 'til that nobody knows who killed him[br]and where his dead body is.
0:28:54.130,0:28:58.360
Til now we don't know. But I just wanna say:[br]"I love you, daddy". I don't know much about
0:28:58.360,0:28:58.500
you,
0:28:58.500,0:29:02.760
but I love you, whereever you are. And rest[br]in peace!
0:29:02.760,0:29:09.630
When my mom came to Kenya, she always[br]told me how hard it was,
0:29:09.630,0:29:11.559
but I could not understand! Because I didn't[br]go
0:29:11.559,0:29:14.410
through the pain she went through.
0:29:14.410,0:29:19.480
It's a different story when you have a[br]feeling about a problem
0:29:19.480,0:29:24.340
and you're telling me the story. I don't[br]have... we can have much connections here.
0:29:24.340,0:29:28.580
Of course the connection will be there,[br]but how you have felt and how you're feeling
0:29:28.580,0:29:31.320
is never the way I'm gonna feel! It's just[br]like
0:29:31.320,0:29:32.929
"Oh, sorry, you went through this, poor."
0:29:32.929,0:29:41.290
"I'm sorry, it's so painful, it's so hard."[br]It's just difficult. And this is how it is.
0:29:41.290,0:29:46.750
So we grew up in Kenya, my mom[br]did everything within her power
0:29:46.750,0:29:52.419
to give us the best she could[br]including education.
0:29:52.419,0:29:57.290
And the culture I come from,[br]cultural education is not a priority.
0:29:57.290,0:30:03.010
But my mom was a complete[br]woman that was standing
0:30:03.010,0:30:09.820
for the true meaning of change.[br]I had the same benefit
0:30:09.820,0:30:13.679
and equal respect to my brothers[br]and thanks to my lovely uncle
0:30:13.679,0:30:16.860
who also paid my highschool fees and[br]everything because mom could not raise
0:30:16.860,0:30:21.000
all of us with all of this money because[br]where I come from in Kenya
0:30:21.000,0:30:25.900
is not similar here where education is for[br]free. You got to pay there highschool.
0:30:25.900,0:30:30.429
The primary: yes, but highschool you got to[br]pay. And the schools are not good quality.
0:30:30.429,0:30:32.640
If you need a good quality school, you got[br]to
0:30:32.640,0:30:34.900
pay for it. You have to make an earning
0:30:34.900,0:30:42.260
to make this. To call your children very[br]intelligent and then they have this good life.
0:30:42.260,0:30:46.190
But luckily enough I'm here in[br]front of you to at least make
0:30:46.190,0:30:50.919
some languages that I can communicate[br]with other people. I learned English
0:30:50.919,0:30:56.230
and hopefully, next time, I will speak in[br]Deutsch. No more English Drama,
0:30:56.230,0:31:00.000
and I hope I will be confident in my[br]Deutsch speech because I am not sure...
0:31:00.000,0:31:05.799
Deutsch is... I don't know. My Deutsch[br]somewhat disappeared.
0:31:05.799,0:31:11.419
But I belive one day – I never lose[br]my hope – I will come here
0:31:11.419,0:31:16.090
hopefully, one day. Not here necessarily[br]but somewhere to speak in Deutsch.
0:31:16.090,0:31:35.220
And all my speech will be fluent:[br]"Pa, pa pa pa pa!"
0:31:35.220,0:31:47.260
No audio 31:19 - 31:56
0:31:47.260,0:32:00.280
...and what happened? Polizei flies you[br]into the jail
0:32:00.280,0:32:04.870
or you pay or give me your documents.
0:32:04.870,0:32:08.720
And it's not a good easy life when you[br]end in a different country.
0:32:08.720,0:32:13.070
You got to accept all the challenges that[br]you go through. Stand for it,
0:32:13.070,0:32:17.419
alit, move forward, find a way to[br]help yourself and others.
0:32:17.419,0:32:22.059
And then one day you got to be flying[br]somewhere and be happy at least!
0:32:22.059,0:32:24.110
Try to be happy.
0:32:24.110,0:32:30.289
So my mom went through all of[br]these problems
0:32:30.289,0:32:33.830
and I went to school there, everything,[br]and I worked in a place called Dadaab.
0:32:33.830,0:32:42.360
Can you identify me from those photos?[br]You can see somewhere...
0:32:42.360,0:32:45.710
I worked like I said before in introduction,[br]with
0:32:45.710,0:32:47.620
different humanitarian international organizations,
0:32:47.620,0:32:53.169
one of it being "Save the children International",[br]others being "Terre des hommes".
0:32:53.169,0:32:58.049
I also worked in Somalia partial time[br]because I wanted to see what it feels like
0:32:58.049,0:33:02.110
to go back home and see my own country.
0:33:02.110,0:33:05.809
But I don't believe in an own country things,[br]I believe in a world of no border,
0:33:05.809,0:33:12.140
get that one right.[br]applause
0:33:12.140,0:33:17.240
applause[br]Thank you so much!
0:33:17.240,0:33:22.270
When I was working in Dadaab, did I ever[br]knew I will be another newcomer
0:33:22.270,0:33:27.020
for the second time. I used to feel the[br]pain that people are going through.
0:33:27.020,0:33:31.450
All the damages I could see that and[br]when I was new working there
0:33:31.450,0:33:35.380
I hardly had lunch because you have[br]these big UN security staffs
0:33:35.380,0:33:39.390
and lines and everything is there.[br]But I could never comfort myself
0:33:39.390,0:33:43.250
and eat properly because[br]I could always see mothers
0:33:43.250,0:33:46.809
who lost their children on the way.[br]She had 6 children for example,
0:33:46.809,0:33:51.150
2 or 3 died on the way. And she[br]has to move on with her life.
0:33:51.150,0:33:54.690
And that life was so hard, and I chose
0:33:54.690,0:33:58.750
to work in the field of child protection.
0:33:58.750,0:34:03.080
The way I say it some people don't understand[br]louder, pronounced: CHILD PROTECTION.
0:34:03.080,0:34:06.740
Here, you don't know much about it[br]because the government takes care of it.
0:34:06.740,0:34:13.000
But this is one of the biggest refugee[br]camps in the world, Dadaab refugee camp.
0:34:13.000,0:34:16.710
And I'm happy, I remember this[br]memory and I kept it with me
0:34:16.710,0:34:22.590
because I was not so much into making[br]the children play with them or this, (?)
0:34:22.590,0:34:26.940
but I was more of a case manager.[br]But this was the universal Children's Day.
0:34:26.940,0:34:31.340
And I was like I just wanted to make them[br]happy and it happened I have this memory with
0:34:31.340,0:34:31.989
me still.
0:34:31.989,0:34:37.790
Can we give applause for these beautiful kids?[br]applause
0:34:37.790,0:34:39.739
applause
0:34:39.739,0:34:45.570
computer "dong" sound
0:34:45.570,0:34:50.500
I touched in between, sorry sorry, you[br]told me this. You told me, don't touch.
0:34:50.500,0:34:52.250
You know, I told them, the first time they[br]gave
0:34:52.250,0:34:53.899
me this: "You got to show me how to use this,
0:34:53.899,0:34:57.590
are you stupid or something?"[br]And he said: "No, just use it"
0:34:57.590,0:35:01.300
and then the first time I did it he said:[br]"You see? You said 'I know it',
0:35:01.300,0:35:05.430
why did you do the mistake?" And this is[br]how it goes back to the memory of exams
0:35:05.430,0:35:09.840
you say this exam was so easy and then you[br]fail. And the [credit] points you expected
0:35:09.840,0:35:12.190
is not there because we just take things so[br]easy.
0:35:12.190,0:35:14.660
So I will not take next time things for easy,
0:35:14.660,0:35:19.170
I got to be careful.[br]And this was still part of Dadaab...
0:35:19.170,0:35:20.930
audience amused
0:35:20.930,0:35:27.109
Damn! What's up? Your computer is virus!
0:35:27.109,0:35:31.109
I have a beautiful laptop there. Get mine!
0:35:31.109,0:35:34.190
Helper: What for?
0:35:34.190,0:35:38.320
Fatuma: Okay. Gut! Thank you.
0:35:38.320,0:35:41.990
And these beautiful ladies there... we were[br]doing a lot of different
0:35:41.990,0:35:45.540
work with children. I was more in the case[br]management and
0:35:45.540,0:35:48.780
dealing with child abuse, neglect, exploitation[br]and violence.
0:35:48.780,0:35:52.720
There are a lot of children who are sexually[br]abused
0:35:52.720,0:35:56.840
and you got to stand there for them, take[br]them through the process
0:35:56.840,0:36:01.270
because the parents are psychologically[br]traumatized. They have no energy at
0:36:01.270,0:36:07.619
all whatsoever. To do anything. And this is[br]what's called girl child empowerment.
0:36:07.619,0:36:15.280
I tried for my own level with my colleagues[br]and everybody. To help the girls
0:36:15.280,0:36:21.040
speak out and say something. Because[br]if their voice is not heard,
0:36:21.040,0:36:25.410
nobody will make them raise their full voice.[br](?) Because voice is power.
0:36:25.410,0:36:29.700
Voice is the key change to everything.
0:36:29.700,0:36:33.090
And these girls were always shy I remember[br]them putting... hides face you see her hand
0:36:33.090,0:36:34.300
was already there.
0:36:34.300,0:36:39.980
They do this... my cloth is far... (?) They're[br]so shy and they can't say much.
0:36:39.980,0:36:45.710
And it's not their fault. It's what's called[br]culture setup.
0:36:45.710,0:36:48.960
This is how we were brought up. As a woman.
0:36:48.960,0:36:56.660
This how we behave. But I disagree.
0:36:56.660,0:37:02.720
Everybody should be equal. Everybody should[br]have equal freedom.
0:37:02.720,0:37:07.590
Of speech, of saying whatever they feel like,[br]letting it out.
0:37:07.590,0:37:11.550
Respect it. Be part of their change process.
0:37:11.550,0:37:18.800
Because these are expected to be the leaders[br]of tomorrow, today.
0:37:18.800,0:37:23.340
But if we don't empower them if we don't support[br]them
0:37:23.340,0:37:25.060
they're not going to be anything.
0:37:25.060,0:37:34.940
[In my case] It's hardly to see. From-the-culture-I-come-from-woman[br]standing in front of
0:37:34.940,0:37:39.349
the majority-dominance-men here. Hackers,[br]hehe and women.
0:37:39.349,0:37:42.090
And speak to them. It's something rare because
0:37:42.090,0:37:47.050
this is not how we are brought up. You got[br]to be shy, sitting somewhere.
0:37:47.050,0:37:50.670
Not speaking here like notorious, this is[br]not a good woman.
0:37:50.670,0:37:55.490
Standing in front of men and talking you're[br]not a good woman. This is what it is.
0:37:55.490,0:38:04.260
But I say that good women should be standing[br]in front of people and speaking up.
0:38:04.260,0:38:09.609
applause
0:38:09.609,0:38:13.590
Thank you so much. There're a lot of problems.[br]That I saw.
0:38:13.590,0:38:18.070
I want to give a comparison between what I[br]saw in Dadaab and here.
0:38:18.070,0:38:22.460
But sometimes it's hard to give the comparison[br]because I was working there
0:38:22.460,0:38:26.130
earning my own money and doing my own stuffs.[br]But now here I am
0:38:26.130,0:38:32.650
and opposite. Somebody has to work for me[br]and help me.
0:38:32.650,0:38:40.760
But generally some of the key problems that[br]were there in Dadaab refugee camp: education.
0:38:40.760,0:38:42.800
Education was a key problem.
0:38:42.800,0:38:47.820
Girl child education was a key problem[br]as well. There were highschools,
0:38:47.820,0:38:51.720
there were over 40 international[br]humanitarian organizations
0:38:51.720,0:38:55.390
and some of them were responsible[br]for education. But you know they
0:38:55.390,0:38:58.820
can't do everything, they don't have[br]support from the government.
0:38:58.820,0:39:04.609
And there was a lot of... poor[br]educational infrastructure.
0:39:04.609,0:39:10.160
There was no clear support in erms of[br]education. There were no class rooms.
0:39:10.160,0:39:14.599
There were not enough teachers. The[br]resources was completely not enough.
0:39:14.599,0:39:18.730
And these people there was[br]restrictions of freedom.
0:39:18.730,0:39:23.880
People could not cross the normal way to[br]go to the cities or other part of Kenya.
0:39:23.880,0:39:28.349
They were restricted in that Dadaab[br]zone. If you wanna go out of Dadaab
0:39:28.349,0:39:32.290
you gotta ask for permission.[br]Go to the UNHCR,
0:39:32.290,0:39:36.940
ask for permission to go out and[br]state why you wanna go there,
0:39:36.940,0:39:40.470
outside of this camp. So it was not easy.
0:39:40.470,0:39:43.950
It's similar to here some months[br]ago, in our country here.
0:39:43.950,0:39:48.950
We were not allowed to travel out of – like[br]I come from the beautiful Brandenburg.
0:39:48.950,0:39:54.190
You're not allowed to travel[br]outside Brandenburg.
0:39:54.190,0:39:57.869
But then so much to the leaders now[br]they're making a change.
0:39:57.869,0:40:02.520
And they're trying something at least.[br]It's not perfect. But they're trying.
0:40:02.520,0:40:05.240
Can we give a round of applause to[br]our leaders who're at least trying,
0:40:05.240,0:40:12.099
I like to appeciate those who are even[br]trying. Can we give applause, please?
0:40:12.099,0:40:13.830
applause
0:40:13.830,0:40:20.720
helper approaching speaker's desk
0:40:20.720,0:40:25.010
Sorry, Linus! I'm so sorry.
0:40:25.010,0:40:28.470
I think the mistake comes from here![br]Just to stand there...
0:40:28.470,0:40:33.480
No, this is not the mistake. Okay, cool.
0:40:33.480,0:40:38.960
I know, in every country there[br]are a lot of newcomers
0:40:38.960,0:40:43.060
and similar problems are there. But one[br]good things I discovered from Dadaab
0:40:43.060,0:40:46.930
is that the people are still within their[br]culture. At least they are within a language
0:40:46.930,0:40:50.859
they can understand. Basically[br]things they're used to.
0:40:50.859,0:40:54.280
But here you come – it's completely[br]the opposite. So what leads
0:40:54.280,0:41:03.210
to these big refugee camps? It's poor[br]management of responsibility.
0:41:03.210,0:41:06.900
If the developed world would[br]support the developing world
0:41:06.900,0:41:11.070
and the problems they went through I don't[br]think we would have been in the direction
0:41:11.070,0:41:18.690
we are right now.[br]I just wanna go back a little bit to History.
0:41:18.690,0:41:21.580
When colonisation was happening[br]in this developing world
0:41:21.580,0:41:28.990
no person was asked why they[br]came to those countries.
0:41:28.990,0:41:30.530
Nobody asked them [about their] permission[br]to
0:41:30.530,0:41:32.530
get in. They didn't ask anybody permissions
0:41:32.530,0:41:38.200
to get in. Now my big question is: Now that[br]we need the help of the developed world
0:41:38.200,0:41:43.650
why are we called "Illegals" – number one.[br]Why are we called
0:41:43.650,0:41:49.300
you need to come in with a permission.[br]Why?? The permission on us
0:41:49.300,0:41:54.680
and YOU never asked for permissions before![br]Ever! Why?
0:41:54.680,0:41:55.820
applause
0:41:55.820,0:41:58.109
Thank you.
0:41:58.109,0:42:08.800
These are the good examples[br]of gated community.
0:42:08.800,0:42:11.720
Sorry.
0:42:11.720,0:42:20.890
If leaders would forget about the[br]past because what your parents or
0:42:20.890,0:42:25.440
your leaders did in the past you don't[br]have to do and repeat the same mistake.
0:42:25.440,0:42:32.250
You need to correct that mistake.[br]And make a difference.
0:42:32.250,0:42:36.380
applause
0:42:36.380,0:42:42.910
We are not perfect in any way. And I[br]always call politics is a dirty game.
0:42:42.910,0:42:47.670
But I want to send a message to all the[br]politicians and leaders in the world.
0:42:47.670,0:42:53.800
Please... stand... for human rights
0:42:53.800,0:42:58.770
and respect it![br]Don't put your political interest first,
0:42:58.770,0:43:07.730
put the human life first! Then the[br]rest becomes number two!
0:43:07.730,0:43:12.720
applause
0:43:12.720,0:43:16.550
Thank you.
0:43:16.550,0:43:19.820
I love this woman called Claudia Roth.[br]I had a panel discussions
0:43:19.820,0:43:23.690
once with her in re:publica.[br]And I loved her approach.
0:43:23.690,0:43:30.099
She's at least a very mentoring woman.[br]She's a role model to me.
0:43:30.099,0:43:33.349
And I remember her telling me one time,[br]I said thanks to the German government,
0:43:33.349,0:43:38.869
"at least they're trying to do something".[br]And she told me: "No no no no no no no no!"
0:43:38.869,0:43:41.609
And I was like: "What?" – "Don't say[br]'Thank you'! What for? Haa?"
0:43:41.609,0:43:45.240
And I was like: "Yeah, at least they did[br]something! At least they give us a shelter,
0:43:45.240,0:43:48.660
somewhere to sleep, something to eat!" For[br]me, I would grate that. When if everything's
0:43:48.660,0:43:54.359
not perfect, I will say to that little thing[br]"thank you". And something very imoportant.
0:43:54.359,0:43:59.160
But thanks to Claudia Roth and her team,[br]they're really trying to do a beautiful job.
0:43:59.160,0:44:00.869
And the rest of the leaders whatever they[br]are,
0:44:00.869,0:44:04.700
not only them, everyone who's doing nice job.
0:44:04.700,0:44:09.800
So that was the life in Dadaab.[br]It's very tough and hard.
0:44:09.800,0:44:16.050
I came to German'. And I was in[br]Eisenhuttenstadt first time.
0:44:16.050,0:44:21.500
And life is so hard and horrible.
0:44:21.500,0:44:25.800
I can tell you here all of this in[br]words. But believe me,
0:44:25.800,0:44:30.830
you can never understand unless[br]you're in that situation yourself.
0:44:30.830,0:44:35.260
You can not understand.[br]The rest is just a story.
0:44:35.260,0:44:39.430
You will just say: "OK, oh sorry it's[br]a painful pro... oh sorry, yeah,
0:44:39.430,0:44:43.640
I understand." – No, you're lying, you're[br]not understanding. Be in that condition
0:44:43.640,0:44:45.970
and then you got to tell me what it is.
0:44:45.970,0:44:53.260
There's a lot of health problems.[br]The people are overcrowded,
0:44:53.260,0:44:58.330
There're a lot of outbreak of[br]diseases at different times.
0:44:58.330,0:45:02.920
And people are congested in[br]containers and in other
0:45:02.920,0:45:08.869
not-deserving human shelter areas.[br]I understand them on one side
0:45:08.869,0:45:11.270
but on one side I refuse[br]to understand them.
0:45:11.270,0:45:16.089
I mean this is a very well developed[br]countries. Not only I don't point fingers
0:45:16.089,0:45:16.650
only,
0:45:16.650,0:45:20.080
because I wanna avoid pointing fingers on[br]specific countries because this problem
0:45:20.080,0:45:24.339
is a global concerned problem. Gated[br]communities everywhere in the world
0:45:24.339,0:45:28.470
and it's not only here in[br]German', it's everywhere!
0:45:28.470,0:45:32.460
So this message I'm sending[br]is going to everywhere.
0:45:32.460,0:45:36.420
And I remember, in Eisenhüttenstadt,
0:45:36.420,0:45:42.530
you're put in 5..10 people... 20 people[br]– not 20, I don't wanna lie –
0:45:42.530,0:45:46.770
but at least 10 people could be in one room.
0:45:46.770,0:45:49.700
And you can't say anything about ist.[br]You're from different country. We don't
0:45:49.700,0:45:53.190
understand each other culture-wise, language-[br]wise, everything. But you still are forced
0:45:53.190,0:45:57.349
to live together. There is no freedom[br]of education like I wanted,
0:45:57.349,0:45:59.990
to further my education. There is nothing[br]like
0:45:59.990,0:46:02.440
that. The bureaucratic is another story.
0:46:02.440,0:46:07.980
Leave it aside. But so complicated that[br]you can't be who you wanna be!
0:46:07.980,0:46:11.900
And my question was all the time: When this[br]difficult condition where you're not allowed
0:46:11.900,0:46:13.790
to work, you're not allowed to go to school,[br]you're not allowed to function like a
0:46:13.790,0:46:19.320
normal human being! You're not even[br]allowed to go out and visit Berlin,
0:46:19.320,0:46:23.520
the first time you are...[br]I asked myself is this a perfect Welcome
0:46:23.520,0:46:29.859
in German'? Keep in isolated, damage,[br]and not giving us
0:46:29.859,0:46:33.220
the freedom to move out and see[br]people. Everybody is like this:
0:46:33.220,0:46:36.150
tired, sad: "You go to the office, you ask..."[br]Not everybody! Some people.
0:46:36.150,0:46:39.910
I remember the first time I visited[br]there, I went to a woman and I said:
0:46:39.910,0:46:45.200
"Is this true? Is this where I am? Is this[br]really true? Is this happening to me?"
0:46:45.200,0:46:48.660
I was like: "In a moment I don't[br]know where the hell I was!"
0:46:48.660,0:46:52.430
I thought my life was over![br]– No, it wasn't over,
0:46:52.430,0:46:56.369
it was the beginning.
0:46:56.369,0:47:00.230
And I asked her – Thank you –[br]and I asked her
0:47:00.230,0:47:04.500
"What's going on? Can I go out?" And she[br]said: "Was??" – "Do you speak English?"
0:47:04.500,0:47:05.000
–
0:47:05.000,0:47:08.060
"Was?? Deutsch, bitte!" And I was[br]like: "I can't speak Deutsch!" -
0:47:08.060,0:47:13.130
"Was?? Raus, bitte, nächst'..."[br]– "Can I please have a permission
0:47:13.130,0:47:16.490
to go out at least see the city or[br]something, because I'm not having
0:47:16.490,0:47:20.320
a contact with my family, no relation[br]whatsoever, I'm really dying
0:47:20.320,0:47:24.349
of trauma here!" – "Was?? Raus, bitte![br]Nächst', nächst' bitte! Nächst'!"
0:47:24.349,0:47:29.570
You have no choice! You have[br]no voice! You got to leave!
0:47:29.570,0:47:37.869
That was some of the difficult[br]moments I remember.
0:47:37.869,0:47:42.369
But there were also nice people in the same[br]Eisenhüttenstadt. Working as a social worker.
0:47:42.369,0:47:46.820
Very kind generous and very supporting.
0:47:46.820,0:47:50.990
But all of a sudden life wasn't easy[br]basically. I remember there was
0:47:50.990,0:47:54.599
this small internet area I don't think[br]it's their fault that's the only space
0:47:54.599,0:47:59.280
they were given. Refugee inspection (?)[br]where you can just go and google something.
0:47:59.280,0:48:02.829
And I would like to ask everybody in the[br]audience to give them a big 'pplause
0:48:02.829,0:48:08.040
because they're doing[br]a beautiful job there.
0:48:08.040,0:48:11.700
applause
0:48:11.700,0:48:20.700
Thanks. So the life in Eisenhüttenstadt[br]was completely a very...
0:48:20.700,0:48:28.130
problem with slides projection
0:48:28.130,0:48:33.700
helper approaching again
0:48:33.700,0:48:39.670
Yes, so out of my transfer[br]in Brandenburg,
0:48:39.670,0:48:44.079
still in Brandenburg I went to...[br]Life wasn't easy and blabla...
0:48:44.079,0:48:47.859
everybody knows how hard it is and[br]not everybody can understand this.
0:48:47.859,0:48:51.550
I went transfered after 2 months or 3 months[br]of... When you are new in German'
0:48:51.550,0:48:55.890
you're transfered to another refugee camp.[br]Then I was in Bestensee.
0:48:55.890,0:48:58.369
And I was asking myself: Back[br]home I was somebody,
0:48:58.369,0:49:03.630
I had my own dog, I had my own little[br]money, I had my own life beautiful.
0:49:03.630,0:49:08.480
Here you come you're nothing! I wanted[br]to find a way I could help myself
0:49:08.480,0:49:13.540
get out of this terrible situation. Put myself[br]at least somehow at distance (?) out of it,
0:49:13.540,0:49:17.650
then help others get out of it.[br]And then I asked the manager
0:49:17.650,0:49:22.550
how I can help the community and I was[br]an English assistant teacher in this area.
0:49:22.550,0:49:26.670
The beautiful teachers were very supportive,[br]many of them could not speak English.
0:49:26.670,0:49:30.760
But the beautiful heart was there. So[br]kind, so generous. Very supporting
0:49:30.760,0:49:35.839
and loving! I could not ask more.[br]They were so kind and nice.
0:49:35.839,0:49:39.240
Can we give them a big round of applause,[br]to my beautiful teachers!?
0:49:39.240,0:49:45.089
applause[br]If you don't mind!
0:49:45.089,0:49:49.599
And I encountered a lot of problems while[br]I was working in the school because
0:49:49.599,0:49:52.040
if you work there they said the socials said[br](?)
0:49:52.040,0:49:53.000
the school wanted to pay me
0:49:53.000,0:49:56.880
but the socials said "No, we can't."[br]And the socials said,
0:49:56.880,0:50:00.560
I can only work 1 hour 1 Euro.
0:50:00.560,0:50:03.329
A whole hour you are paid 1 Euro,[br]Schilling...
0:50:03.329,0:50:08.190
Do you understand the meaning of 1 Euro!?[br]Can somebody give me 1 Euro?
0:50:08.190,0:50:12.510
Each one of you give me 1 Euro.[br]And then we see how much it is.
0:50:12.510,0:50:14.930
Smiling amused
0:50:14.930,0:50:18.760
So this was... But they made it a difference[br]and they said: "We wanna have you
0:50:18.760,0:50:20.740
and do everything possible within our power[br]to
0:50:20.740,0:50:23.150
support you. Because you are supporting us."
0:50:23.150,0:50:26.760
Because, I wanted to do something useful[br]with my life because in the refugee camps
0:50:26.760,0:50:30.740
all that we do is either drink, fight...[br]It's not our choice.
0:50:30.740,0:50:35.450
That's where we are put in. We're so much[br]isolated and outside of the community.
0:50:35.450,0:50:39.750
The community is completely gated.[br]And then we are put in a very complete
0:50:39.750,0:50:44.130
isolation situation. We need to stand up[br]together and make a difference
0:50:44.130,0:50:48.480
by breaking these gated community. Each and[br]every individual of us, we have to.
0:50:48.480,0:50:55.000
And find a way to.[br]applause
0:50:55.000,0:51:01.270
Thank you, Vielen Dank!
0:51:01.270,0:51:04.400
And then, well I was in Bestensee.[br]This place is called Bestensee,
0:51:04.400,0:51:08.400
some of you might come from here[br]I don't know. I was also part of a...
0:51:08.400,0:51:15.960
a sport club because I love sports.[br]And I remember them giving me...
0:51:15.960,0:51:20.140
Nee... Nooo!
0:51:20.140,0:51:26.099
I'm sometimes Clown so that's why[br]sometimes I behave like this. chuckles
0:51:26.099,0:51:30.410
This was a beautiful picture from[br]their T-Shirt and the sports club,
0:51:30.410,0:51:34.320
they bought me. And... "you are nobody you[br]have nobody but somebody's there for you
0:51:34.320,0:51:40.410
loving you supporting you and doing[br]everything for you." I was so lucky.
0:51:40.410,0:51:43.320
And I wanted to do something for[br]the community. And I was like:
0:51:43.320,0:51:47.400
"What can I do to help people?" And the[br]children I used to love wherever they're
0:51:47.400,0:51:50.329
in the world. And these are some of the things...[br]10 minutes left sign – Thank you –
0:51:50.329,0:51:53.960
...these are some of the things I was[br]trying to do just to escape from stress.
0:51:53.960,0:51:57.940
I didn't wanna drink, I didn't wanna do bad[br]things. I just wanted progress with my life.
0:51:57.940,0:52:00.740
And these are some of the things I tried to[br]do.
0:52:00.740,0:52:05.660
chuckles on next slide
0:52:05.660,0:52:09.310
So please let us get used to[br]the name newcomers,
0:52:09.310,0:52:14.369
not refugees. And these were my[br]beautiful communities I was doing twice
0:52:14.369,0:52:17.589
in the whole of German'. And if you want[br]to invite me in some of the cities
0:52:17.589,0:52:22.770
I have never seen, do that[br]and give me one bread and
0:52:22.770,0:52:26.369
I was... I'm basically an international speaker[br]and I have been going to different places
0:52:26.369,0:52:30.380
talking to the people and trying to give[br]them some hope together with the support
0:52:30.380,0:52:33.880
as there are a lot of nice people in Deutschland,[br]for example. I can talk about German',
0:52:33.880,0:52:37.119
not elsewhere. There are a lot of nice people[br]who wanna do something but they don't know
0:52:37.119,0:52:38.550
how.
0:52:38.550,0:52:40.160
So I don't like to generalize. And for those[br]of
0:52:40.160,0:52:43.349
us who are defined as racists I don't belive
0:52:43.349,0:52:45.570
in the word racism. I think it's about lack[br]of
0:52:45.570,0:52:47.670
information. When people understand
0:52:47.670,0:52:51.630
who we are where we come from and[br]what problems we went through
0:52:51.630,0:52:55.940
I think they will be kind, nice and generous.[br]To understand us and support us.
0:52:55.940,0:52:59.440
So if we continued that those people[br]who discriminate us and that then
0:52:59.440,0:53:03.440
we discriminate them I don't think we[br]are going anywhere. The best way...
0:53:03.440,0:53:07.839
If a killer kills and then you kill this is[br]not the best way to move forward.
0:53:07.839,0:53:12.020
It's about trying to figure out how best[br]can we try to make both sides together
0:53:12.020,0:53:16.400
and I'm doing a project called, a program[br]called "United Action". And the idea behind
0:53:16.400,0:53:16.490
is
0:53:16.490,0:53:20.510
visiting refugee camps, creating events,[br]bringing the community
0:53:20.510,0:53:25.530
and the newcomers together because[br]I don't wanna only say: "Support us,
0:53:25.530,0:53:29.930
newcomers, newcomers." There are[br]people in the community who are vulnerable,
0:53:29.930,0:53:33.820
who are poor and they need help. And[br]that's the reason why they don't want us.
0:53:33.820,0:53:35.970
They feel jealous and it's their right. I[br]mean
0:53:35.970,0:53:38.210
they're human beings, they're not perfect.
0:53:38.210,0:53:42.140
So we got to find a way to fit both[br]sides together, to come together.
0:53:42.140,0:53:46.640
And support each other. And that's my[br]idea behind "United Action". I believe
0:53:46.640,0:53:50.589
when we all of us come together,[br]do things together, eat together,
0:53:50.589,0:53:59.960
the rest of the bridge will just slowly[br]fall down, like the "Berliner" Wall.
0:53:59.960,0:54:02.790
applause
0:54:02.790,0:54:04.800
Thank you![br]applause
0:54:04.800,0:54:10.240
This one of the photos when I was in[br]Neuhardenberg. And these are
0:54:10.240,0:54:14.220
part of the friends that were helping[br]me going there taking food and drinks
0:54:14.220,0:54:18.339
and stuffs and just having a good time[br]with the people. And trying to figure out
0:54:18.339,0:54:22.720
what we could do together. I have a[br]Facebook page called... I don't want this
0:54:22.720,0:54:26.079
keynote speech to be my[br]own advertising thing,
0:54:26.079,0:54:29.050
but I just wanna give you more information[br]about myself so that you know
0:54:29.050,0:54:33.950
who you're talking to and if you[br]need more questions or you have
0:54:33.950,0:54:39.089
anything to tell me you better[br]meet me outside later with 1 Euro.

audience chuckling
0:54:40.680,0:54:47.030
Joking, don't give me any Cent!
0:54:47.030,0:54:51.260
And these are still some of the events[br]and I love being happy. I mean
0:54:51.260,0:54:55.310
happiness is my family. And hope[br]is my family. Without losing hope
0:54:55.310,0:55:00.700
and happiness we can be somewhere.
0:55:00.700,0:55:04.030
And this was still Neuhardenberg with[br]the team and we were doing a wonderful
0:55:04.030,0:55:10.520
amazing thing. This was a group I've been[br]supporting and they won some awards.
0:55:10.520,0:55:16.359
And this is my beautiful visit to[br]the beautiful German parliament
0:55:16.359,0:55:20.550
with my Coca Cola.
0:55:20.550,0:55:25.849
Please! Stand for Change! Please
0:55:25.849,0:55:31.349
call us our names or any other beautiful[br]name or our personal names!
0:55:31.349,0:55:35.700
And we got to find a way to figure[br]out how best we can call each other.
0:55:35.700,0:55:39.040
We don't have to call ourselves Refugees[br]anymore. Because this word
0:55:39.040,0:55:43.200
has been used in the wrong way. We[br]are meant to be very vulnerable.
0:55:43.200,0:55:46.819
We are meant to be nothing! We are[br]somebody just like anyone of you!
0:55:46.819,0:55:50.319
We only lost our home and family.[br]We are human beings
0:55:50.319,0:55:54.430
just like anyone of you! We can do[br]something. Don't look at the word!
0:55:54.430,0:55:58.020
Look at us as a human being. As a person,[br]as somebody in a capable position
0:55:58.020,0:56:12.250
to do something. Don't you believe we[br]are human beings? Then get rid of this name!
0:56:12.250,0:56:14.730
applause
0:56:14.730,0:56:19.109
Thank you![br]Situations should never define us.
0:56:19.109,0:56:23.800
What should define us is[br]the name "human being".
0:56:23.800,0:56:27.390
And the respect we label to each other.
0:56:27.390,0:56:33.750
And I would like to send a message to the[br]world: These Gated Community issues
0:56:33.750,0:56:37.980
is a global issue.[br]Please let us try to promote
0:56:37.980,0:56:43.730
Peace, Love, Unity. Break[br]the isolation. Come together!
0:56:43.730,0:56:48.400
Support each other! Love each other![br]Love each other! Love each other
0:56:48.400,0:56:52.819
and love each other again![br]And be there whatever possible.
0:56:52.819,0:56:57.089
I can't say more words than[br]this, I just wanna say:
0:56:57.089,0:57:00.589
Thank you so much to everyone of[br]you. And I want you to go home...
0:57:00.589,0:57:04.349
Not you, you are the wrong audience,[br]I think. You know what's you doing already.
0:57:04.349,0:57:08.530
Thank you so much to that! But for those of[br]us who don't know what Gated Community
0:57:08.530,0:57:14.220
means and how we can break the[br]silence: take the responsibility,
0:57:14.220,0:57:20.140
go out, do a lot of awareness campaign[br]and find a way to kill and delete
0:57:20.140,0:57:25.720
this gate. Let us open the gate[br]with open arms for everybody
0:57:25.720,0:57:31.240
regardless of who you are. Let us stand[br]with one name as human beings.
0:57:31.240,0:57:36.640
Don't believe in the name of a nationality.[br]Don't believe in the name of stupid colors,
0:57:36.640,0:57:41.369
always respect the human dignity.[br]"Don't lose hope in the name of humanity!"
0:57:41.369,0:57:45.670
This was a word Linus [Neumann] told me[br]several times and I loved it and that's why
0:57:45.670,0:57:48.780
I wanna say it right now with you all.[br]And...
0:57:48.780,0:57:52.760
the first question says: "If you[br]were me what would you do?"
0:57:52.760,0:57:53.500
Imagine, you are this.[br]pointing at her face and clothing
0:57:53.500,0:57:57.849
Pointing at someone in audience front row[br]What would you do?
0:57:57.849,0:58:00.540
I don't know, it's a decision you're making,[br]answer belongs to you.
0:58:00.540,0:58:03.220
"What would you wish from the Hacker community?"
0:58:03.220,0:58:06.210
What I wish from the Hacker community[br]is that you're doing a great job.
0:58:06.210,0:58:09.800
Keep the good work. Give us more internet,[br]in the Heims, we don't have this.
0:58:09.800,0:58:15.440
Do this for us everywhere[br]in Germany, everywhere!
0:58:15.440,0:58:16.359
applause
0:58:16.359,0:58:23.800
Please visit all the refugee camps[br]next to you, whereever you live!
0:58:23.800,0:58:27.470
Find a way you can make a difference[br]by helping these camps and
0:58:27.470,0:58:31.140
some of the excuses that politicians[br]use why they don't give internet
0:58:31.140,0:58:33.060
to us is: They said we[br]might watch Porno.
0:58:33.060,0:58:33.180
shouting:[br]Whoo hooo!
0:58:33.180,0:58:39.310
What a stupid excuse!! Shame!![br]Shame Shame Shame Shame Shame!!
0:58:39.310,0:58:49.349
Thank you so much, everybody! I will be here[br]for 4 days, I will be having 2 workshops
0:58:49.349,0:58:52.250
and if you're interested more,[br]kindly let us make together and
0:58:52.250,0:58:57.140
love you so much!! And I hope[br]everybody enjoyed the speech
0:58:57.140,0:59:01.420
and no more words to say! Just say again[br]Thank you and Thank you to the Angels
0:59:01.420,0:59:07.589
Thanks to all the people who are trying[br]to do this beautiful congress as successful.
0:59:07.589,0:59:11.000
Stay Peace and I wanna be the first person[br]– I don't know if I'm the first person –
0:59:11.000,0:59:14.790
I wanna say "Happy New Year!". Maybe we don't[br]know each other and we hopefully will meet
0:59:14.790,0:59:15.089
again.
0:59:15.089,0:59:19.599
Happy New Year to all of you.[br]Big love! Be Peace and Unity!
0:59:19.599,0:59:21.930
I salute to you all![br]Thank you so much, everybody!
