GRAFFITI AND GRAFFITI ... a man, an immigrant 
Today, we announce an article on this site Pierstefano Durantini, (titled: "A man, an immigrant"), photo journalist know that a few years. I reported on our blog, a piece of Piestefano that seems to predict, then what would have happened in recent weeks in many countries of the Mediterranean, North Africa and the Middle East. Also in the article describes a true story, happened not long ago, impressive.
Pierstefano Happy reading and thanks for giving us the publication Kicks on soccer.
Nourredine Adnane was 27, had arrived in Italy a decade ago, little more than a teenager. He was from Morocco and had stopped in Sicily, Palermo, perhaps because that city, and the climate reminded him of those places the place where he was born and lived for seventeen years, Settat, a town in the north, near Casablanca. Nourredine was one of those who had made it, he was a regular immigrant, was in possession of a residence permit and also a licensed vendor. All day he brought with him his merchandise, was up and down by Basile, near the University, worked honestly and tried to sell and save as much as possible, because Morocco had a young wife and a two year old daughter who expected and counted on him, the money they earned and sent them Nourredine.
Nourredine But he was tired, tired and exasperated by the constant police surveillance Local and Friday, February 11, during yet another seizure of goods, seems to have been suffered in the quarter that just ten days, took a lighter and has paid a bit 'of petrol on him, threatening to set themselves on fire. A gesture of extreme desperation, a sort of protest against what he considered an injustice. Perhaps all, pedestrians and traffic wardens, they thought the usual comedy than usual immigrant. In fact, the cousin said that ten minutes have elapsed before the tragic fire, ten minutes in which no one has tried to calm him, reassure him and to talk to find a solution. But law is law and does not stop in front of anybody, for that matter Nourredine he was not the nephew of Mubarak, no would call for him because it was just an immigrant, one of many. This happened in Palermo, where the Mafia was born there and thriving, a city in shambles drowning in their own waste and where the law is a mirage. In Italy where there are no rules, where those who can evade taxes, and you can not even enforce the no parking for cars double parked. No! Nourredine for there was no room for common sense and not for pity, for him only the seizure of goods, the rule of law, the legality of a municipality intermittently aware that the weak be strong, but so weak with the strong. It must have been hard for him, such was the anger and then lost his head, he approached the damn lighter to his body and immediately caught fire, a human torch. Eight days of agony in hospital, then his body was disposed of, could not resist, and died February 19.
's War Rosarno a year ago did not teach anything, human beings should be treated as human beings with respect and dignity, or desperation can push some sensational acts. The so-called policy of security that fill his mouth many, too many of our politicians, pumping hatred and discrimination, sometimes instigate rebellion, others to suicide. Please note there is fire under the ashes. Do not forget that the uprising in Tunisia, which has led to the epilogue Ben Ali's regime fell and was the spark of the recent revolution in Africa, has started just such a similar gesture when Mohamed Bouaziz, a young Tunisian graduates, set himself on fire after the seizure by police of his cart, fruit and vegetables because without a license.
So all we reflect on what was written on a banner during the march of solidarity for Nourredine Adnane: a victim of institutional racism.
