EXPERIENCE OF A FORMER ASYLUM SEEKER AND ADVICE OF HOW TO COPE.

I SAW THE WORLD CRUSHING ME. EVERYTHING AROUND ME DID NOT LIKE ME. I DECIDED TO DROWN MYSELF IN DRINKING ALCOHOL AND IT MADE ME A WRECK.
DO NOT FALL IN THIS PATH. SOMEONE WHO CARES CAN SAVE YOUR DAY.

Dasuk Founder really did help me to see the positives alternative way to deal with negative circumstances.

The asylum system is a waiting game, and waiting entails worry most times One very wise man once said " worry will not add a minute to your life". So what does one do when it seems all they can do is wait, well stop worrying pay more attention to the present moment.How do you do that? Well, accept the situation is as it is but more importantly narrow that down to the present moment not what you are going to do in 5 minutes time or next week, off course if you need more evidence or need to phone your solicitor do so in that present moment if that is possible, if its not possible accept the present moment as it is and see what happens.( Eckhart Tolle, the power of now). Most mental illnesses are related to the resistance of the present moment, non acceptance of what is. by letting go of resistance you are truly empowered and from that state of non resistance ,to the present moment, worry and fear naturally fall away. I Was detained for three years and through resistance i suffered much, until i did the seemingly impossible which is acceptance of the present moment.

Thank You.

THE DETERIORATION OF THE HUMAN MIND WHEN WE ALL CANNOT SERVE A GOOD PURPOSE.

Its very unfortunate that many Charity Organisations have made very serious commitments to assist people seeking sanctuary who in turn do not value themselves by engaging constructively with their helpers. As former members of the Asylum Seeking community we have learnt that it is not worth sitting and mourning about issues affecting you and others without and significant outreach effort to look for answers.
The level of inertia among the Asylum Seeking populations sometimes defeats all positive efforts extended to the constituency.
It is not noble to blame the stake holders that determine and make decisions on Asylum when the population and individuals affected are literally divorced the world of getting the justice they deserve. We totally have sympathy with those people who have been let down by the poor workmanship of the UKBA causing some Asylum Seeker claims to be unaccounted for. The Home Office should in its dignity do justice to all that have been failed by their working attitudes and lack of proficiency in dealing with the different change of circumstances that affect the people seeking sanctuary.

Unless it is open confirmed that the business of processing Asylum Seekers cases cannot be concluded and a measure to make sure people have jobs and the longer such decisions take the better it is for those working in these department, the reasons are noble for those that benefit from this outcome. It is unfortunate such practice of not considering the importance of time in dealing with asylum applications maybe an acceptable culture but it is not the same for those affected by this practice.

We understand many private companies make money of the Asylum Seekers' predicament but it is not reasonable to continue burdening Tax Payers with issues that can be resolved and save loads of public funds.
We understand that the Presidents and Prime Ministers who authorise war are doing for promoting the arms industry and other Multi-nationals but the morality behind the practice is not Godly. It is a shame that it is common knowledge that war displaces people and causes immigration problems and issues of all sorts but those responsible for authorising these are turn around and deny the people that their actions will have affected. People seeking sanctuary are as human as everyone else and it is important to offer them dignified human living conditions.

Millions of pounds and dollars are donated to rebel groups around the world whilst these same government cannot provide adequate housing and social care for their citizens. It is Shame that millions of pounds and dollars are donated towards memorial monuments of the world wars whilst the citizens of the nations are all in abject poverty without decent home to live in. The events that occur in the minds of people entrusted with power to rule country is truly bizarre. The nations' citizenry have become objects of exploitation through economic marginalisation. There is no more respect for life among the human species and the executive continue to pretend that they are in place to promote democracy when actually their daily efforts are simply fermenting hate and turmoil.

The world has just gone crazy with irresponsible Presidents and Prime Ministers making war cries over other countries' expense to decency and tranquility. Asylum Seekers should be treated like everyone else as they are all not animals but human beings displace because of the love for Big Money by people in power that pretend to represent and respect human rights.

STOP THE MANUFACTURE OF ARMS OF WAR IF ALL WORLD LEADERS ARE IN PLACE TO BRING PEACE TO THEIR NATIONS.

CHANGE OF OUR ORGANISATION'S NAME

We changed our name from Denied Asylum Seekers United Kingdom to DIASPORA ACTION and SUPPORT UNITED KINGDOM, (DASUK)
This has been necessitated by the positive development that has happened to majority our founding members who have all been granted status. This is a move that we applaud and give credit to the United Kingdom Home Office. People that are true activities remain passionate to this cause no matter what circumstances confront them. As a gesture to our attained status we have found it necessary to have a name that embraces the positive development that has been experienced within our organisation.
Dasuk does continue to do the work it was formed to do. With the support that we have experienced from North East Regional Refugee Forum, Citizens for Sanctuary, Thrive Methodist Church, Ners and many other RCOs that we have worked with we acknowledge the numerous benefits gained through positive engagement in this region. It is our wish our members and supporters from other parts of the United Kingdom feel confident to approach us whenever the want to understand how the activities of DASUK have impacted positively on the Asylum community in the North East Region.
We are currently developing an interesting programme that is aimed at making life safe and fair for those that find themselves facing the challenge of Removal from the United Kingdom.

Contact us on our e-mail for any questions in connection with this programme, which we feel should benefit all that see sense in contacting our work with passion and concern for others. We remain patriotic the aims and objectives of Dasuk in our daily work and wish if everyone would work hard to promote the upholding of human rights where ever we are in the world.

DASUK does pass its positive comments to the UKBA for the positive decisions made and we also understand their professionalism in areas they have found not meeting the criterion of not awarding status if this is supported by the applicants' failings in presenting the credible evidence of their cases. We do not wish anyone who finds themselves unable to be articulate in presenting their cases being victims of their failings and we urge all affected by such short comings to contact us and we will assist or sign post them to our trainers.

THE WEST FIGHTS TO IGNITE WAR ON SYRIA.

The world of peace must support China and Russia for refusing to cooperate with the United Nations West driven Security Council. The events unfolding in Syria must squarely be blamed on the Americans and their allies. Syria has no problems managing in internal chaos until the involvement of the regional allies of America started the sponsorship of rebels. The miscalculation by the West has led the world into serious economic decline which never mentioned when the Euro-zone discuss their crumbling economies.

Refugees created by the Western military adventures around the world are not at all the focus of the American led military engagement. There is no interest of catering for human rights. As visibly illustrated but the three leading countries in the West, America, United Kingdom and France these are the countries whose Asylum Seeker policies have caused serious damage to people seeking sanctuary. The shame in the whole issue is that most of those that fall victim to the West’s double standards policies are people coming from war zones that have a lot to do with these three countries. The world economy does not require war it is time for the world to turn the military tanks into tractors for food production. American are mourning of the faltering of the American Dream that they thought the election of President Obama was a step towards this dream. Little did they know President Obama has no power to control the appetite for war by the Republicans? The republican are always after the expansion of their business within the serious capitalist framework which does not consider any of the poor people oriented policies that alleviate poverty.  Asylum Seekers get raw deals when the reach the shores of America, United Kingdom and France.

Looking at these three countries in fanning global conflict these are the countries that you would expect to be in the protection of people that are coming from the war zones as these countries are the one particularly responsible for the world’s most damaging military conflicts. Asylum Seekers are victims of the world’s arms industry which is fast developing and with new lethal weapons coming in the form of Drones and robotic fighters and all that one can imagine. The removal of the serious threat to human loss on the battle front has become an incentive to the West.

The infrastructure damage effects on victim countries are so huge that it enslaves the victim countries to adhere to Western policies and exploitation whilst paying the damage caused by the false liberation wars.

Asylum Seekers should Unite throughout the world and call for that halt of the production of lethal arms. The human cost of these modern Western liberation wars against dictators is not happening at the level of genuine and those being liberated believe. Human beings in developing countries are being sacrificed for military profits for the extremely rich Western multi nationals.

The resources that are channelled to wars in Syria, Afghanistan and Pakistan can literally be diverted to reducing poverty in those countries and leave more financial resources to fight world poverty. Why has it been easy for the Western world to produce military weapons that kill and destroy livelihood? Is it not easy to finance poverty alleviation programmes that empower people to live in peace and harmony? There is all the evidence from the past wars that more suffering has been endured in all countries where these fake liberation wars are fought. The world has remained hostage to the American ruthlessness motivated by their multinational financial interests in owning the whole world’s resources.

The United Nations Security Assembly has become the most irrelevant international organisation as it has allowed its authority to be used to spear head the interests of the big three world bullies. It is unfortunate that many other countries in the United Nations Security Council have not been useful to their constituencies by support policies that do not bring any meaning to their grassroots populations.

America and its top three allies in Europe are responsible for the deterioration of the world’s security situation as these are attitudes that are made to benefit their robust economies that at the same time ailing and failing to support their population. Tax Payers money is getting channelled in military engagements that have failed to bring significant profits for the entire nation. Military adventures have been the gains of the Multi-nationals who are into the production of military hardware and software.

The world must also agree that we need to have an international Court where countries that motivate other countries to attack another sovereign state must be brought to justice. No sensible and responsible leader should ever advocate for war fully aware of the consequences that ware bring to innocent people and the destruction of social infrastructure of the affected countries. Why has it been easy for these countries to promote war instead of peace?

The promotion of war by the United Nations Security Council is very immoral as it defeats the relevance of this international body. Why is the United Nations not letting Syrian people be guaranteed an opportunity to use the ballot to remove dictators. This a process that can be achieve by forcing a country violation human rights to accept to have UN monitors to make sure elections are held without any form of intimidation. Dictators have often sighted the arrogance of the American and its European allies as reasons why they not leave power because they find their own actions similar to the way the Americans and their allies are operating in the world.

RUSSIA AND CHINA SHOULD BE WORLD LEADERS

These two countries are responsible for the liberation of Africa and they should be reward through free expression of appreciation by Africa and its populations. These countries have not dictated policies and waged wars to force the removal of any leadership that does not foster their interests. If they have done that these two countries have not used their mightiness to coerce the United Nations to endorse wars on small countries in order to facilitate the installation of puppet governments and leadership.

For all that does not support the increase of people seeking asylum around the world should support Russia and China in their effort to counter the efforts of the USA and its Allies. Moscow and Beijing should continue with their veto powers to counter the impending American appetite to go to war in the Middle East.

The Syrian people should be left to seek their own political solution without the support being offered by the West which will bring another puppet government that will continue to undermine the freedom of the Syrian people but continuing to undermine other countries’ peace and freedom.

If Americans, British and French want war they should allow these wars to fought on their soils. If war is fought on these countries’ territorial land it will create a new thinking among those that crave for war and promote the manufacture of lethal weapons of Mass Destruction.

STOP THE IMPENDING WAR ON SYRIA, STOP FUNDING THE SYRIAN REBELS. GIVE PEACE A CHANCE.

      

    

ASYLUM REPORTING SETBACKS AND HOW TO ASSIST.

Denied Asylum Seekers United Kingdom (Dasuk) would like to invite all Asylum Seekers in the North East to support and subscribe to the programme of escorting persons who are going for reporting at the various Police Stations.
 Our aim is to try and quickly pass the information of Asylum Seekers that may find themselves taken by the UKBA Guards for Detention or pending deportation when they go for their routing reporting.
Those that have been unfortunate to find themselves at the mercy of the UKBA Guards have either been successfully saved from deportation, some detention and others saved by their next of kin and well-wishers.
Dasuk feels all the above circumstances can affect and be experienced by all Asylum Seekers who have their cases declared a failure by the UKBA.
Our intention is to make sure for the Asylum Seekers that are likely to face potential deportation should have the process unfold when their Lawyers, Friends and next of Kin are aware of what is happening to them.
This programme of escorting Asylum Seekers going to report will assist in gathering any personal items that affected persons may require on their person whatever the outcome of their situation will be.
The programme strives to allow those who want to act in any manner aimed at mitigating the suffering of Asylum taken for detention.
Asylum Seekers taken for detention will require Bail funds approximately £300.00, guarantor and a possible bailing address.
The information quickly passed on to their friends and next of kin will enable those that need to look for bail funds and other forms of assistance to do so at the earliest possible opportunity.
Dasuk in its presentation of issues that required consideration by G4S learnt that the new Housing Provider will be having the ability to store the property of Asylum Seekers successfully deported without being given the opportunity to collect all their property.
Dasuk would like to be part of the Community Organisations that will play a bigger role in making the effort to facilitate those deported to get their remaining property.
The New Housing Provider indicated that they will be able to look after the deported Asylum Seekers for a period of six months. The time we in Dasuk also feel to more than reasonable to have taken action to send the property to the country of origin of the affected people.
In order for Dasuk to be able to carry out this exercise successfully we need All Asylum Seekers who find this programme worth their time and effort to register for the Rosters to be used when carrying out the reporting exercise every other reporting day, week and month.

STOCKTON AND THORNABY POLICE STATIONS PROMOTED SAFETY FOR ETHNIC MINORITY GROUPS Part 1

The Regional Refugee Forum has been responsible for the empowerment and awakening that helped to bring Dasuk to positively engage with Local Police in Stockton and Thornaby. The Independent Police Authority encouraged the Dasuk leadership to take it as their duty to bring to the attention of police all the people who were responsible for anti social behaviour targeted at people seeking sanctuary. DASUK managed to bring to the attention of Stockton and Thornaby Police Stations the sources of racial abuse and other anti ethnic minority attacks. It is in the interest of all people seeking sanctuary to know that after making the positive effort to talk and work with the Police Teams in the Stockton and Thornaby areas. Dasuk enjoyed positive response and support from the two police stations that we were working with. Monthly talks were suggested with the police as means to evaluate and monitor the effort of the front line response officers' handling of the issues of racial abuse and other anti social behaviours aimed and ethnic minority.
The police offered incentives in encouraging the people who felt threatened by those that engaged in racial abusive behaviour and other threats. After a series of constructive engagements and talks led by the Police the hot spots for racial abuse and attacks have turned into very calm areas and no more harassment was experienced at the levels things were before this issues were brought to the attention of the Stockton and Thornaby Police stations.

Dasuk acknowledge and applauds the professionalism and dedication shown by the Police leadership we worked with. We in Dasuk would like urge other Police Stations in the North East Region to emulate the practical example by Stockton Police Station front line response officers and their leadership supported by Thornaby Neighbourhood Police.
We encourage many ethnic minority groups and people seeking sanctuary for feel free to express their social and other anti-social behaviours aimed at racial hatred and abuse.
We also thank the Independent Police Authority who took the initiative to engage Dasuk and Stockton Police Station supported by North East Refugee Forum based in Middlesbrough.

DEMOCRACY AS OTHERS SEE IT!

What is democracy?
If there is democracy why are we not allowed to watch channels like PRESSTV in the United Kingdom and be able to make judgements of what is wrong and right? Democracy should give people the right to choice and not politicians make choices of what their nations should watch. We saw this with Robert Mugabe when he banned BBC and CNN in Zimbabwe and subjected his nation to the “Chimurenga War Rethoric” Is this not the same thing the UK is doing concerning Press TV? Why should people in a democratic country be not allowed to see an opposing view of their country’s ideas on democracy? There is something evil about the democracy that the Western Capitals export to other countries. Worried over Robert Mugabe vs. the Western World's Press? By Lloyd Whitefield Butler, Jr. Jun 22, 2008

Many people that matter in the political world are more concerned about that views that the nation is not allowed to see as there is nothing new and inspiring in what we are exposed to. Who among the world leaders and politicians can define democracy? In what colour and race is democracy? These questions cannot be justly answered without mentioning the skewed vision that most of world the world leaders and presidents putting protection of Western economic interests as the hidden clause that defines what democracy is. Wall Street bankers seen to be the dark hand in mist wars and brutality hitting most parts of the world with mineral resources of great interest to the West. No wonder politicians have the nerve to blame Wall Street bankers for the recent recession that hit the U.S.A. and the rest of Europe. Bankers, corporations US foreign, domestic policies: Analyst The bankers influenced by the Multi International corporations in the mining of oil and other precious minerals has sponsored fakes and cheap democratic takeovers of government through instilling divide and rule tactics among nations with visible cracks in their democratic institutions. These sponsored regime changes have been aimed at all nations that resist the exploitation, control of their natural wealth by the Western controlled capitalists in Wall Street.

All other undemocratic nations whose governments and leadership subscribe and succumb to Western Interest and economic manipulation are spared the stick that has recently wrecked havoc in the Middle East and North Africa. A new economic colonialism which has become more vicious and brutal has now characterised the world political arena as the most vulnerable. No government with plenty of resources that Multinational corporations want will be allowed to exploit these resources on its own terms other than giving that right to Western capitals to dictate the terms under which those resources will be extracted and distributed on the international market.

The curses of having plenty natural resources have hit many of the oil mining countries in the Middles East. This misfortune of natural blessings to nations has turned into an unending curse, especially those countries whose political leadership try to resist the hand and influence of the United States.  The USA has its quest to boost its ailing economy has failed to reduce the appetite of going to war with any country that makes it difficult to access for the USA to hoard the oil and other minerals.  The coming of the Obama administration ushered a false hope on many nations as he was seen to have won the ticket to the White on an Anti-Bush war theme. It is clear that White does not have the power to control the dictates of the Multinational-corporations who in their own right and time are shaped and build out wars around the world.

Apart from the benefit derived from the sale of military hardware, software and munitions the military industry had been the greatest sources of Western economies national growth. The growth of the USA and European military industries are a direct result of million deaths on victim countries. The victim nations are not in any way able to protect themselves from all the air and ground onslaughts by the USA and its NATO allies.

Whiles the United Nations Assembly is full manned by staffers who are clearly skewed towards handing the USA and Europe all the decisions that perpetuate murder and violence and the pretext of international collectivism. It has emerged that those countries that are not aligned the world’s monsters of war and economic greed are no longer have the respect for the United Nations Assembly. Whiles the United Nations Assembly pretends it speaks for international justice it has also proved that it is not there for justice especially for nations that are not able to defend themselves. The United Nations Assembly was recently shamed when its shameless decision to try and facilitate another regime change in Syrian met the stiff resistance from Russia and China. Credit to these two nations must be given otherwise today the Syrians would have been left in the worst poverty stricken scenario.  Whiles the Libyan example opened a few countries’ eyes not many countries have gathered the strength to resist the Multi-nationals that have plundered Africa and the Middle East leaving most nations leaking poverty.

Robert Mugabe blames west for downfall of autocrats in Arab spring: President vows to defend Zimbabwe from 'machinations of the imperialists'. (David Smith  guardian.co.uk, Friday 7 October 2011)

Democratic countries would not promote any action that brings death even to a single person, family or group, yet the USA and NATO have slaughtered many in Iraq and thousands in Libya and today they are secretly sponsoring murder squads in Syria and their actions are in no way condemned by the United Nations Assembly, that in its daily speeches and posturing purports to protect nations from foreign interference. No nation today can challenge the USA with direct war on the USA continent, this is the situation that has made America the most monster of military wars in the world today and unless this changes all the countries with mineral wealth have to at some point surrender their right to self governance.

Whiles countries are vanquished by bombs and many other munitions the brain drain to these same nations deprived afflicted countries of the manpower they deserve to set the victim countries on the path to recovery.  The same USA and Europe are the countries currently singing the anti-immigrations music denying those people fleeing from their bombardment the right to protection. Asylum Seekers and refugees are given a torrid time when they reach the continents of Europe and USA. People are put in detentions, without the selection of women and children getting any significant protection to minimise suffering. The shameful situation is that it will be clear that many of these people will have sided with the policies of the USA and NATO unwittingly only to be left stranded and poor.  Lives destroyed in the name of false democracy and exploitation of other nations’ mineral wealth.  It would make little sense if these countries would at least welcome those people fleeing from torture without causing them mental, emotional and physical torture. Alas things are not what they seem as the very drivers of the world wars are nowhere near the tragedies they cause to human lives. Until the world can tell the USA and its followers NATO to stop plunging the world into continued suffering, there is no democracy that should be talked about by any nation or institution. What democracy is the by bringing wars to nations that are enjoying peace and development at their own pace and style.

All countries must be given the right to self determination and also the right to choose to whom, which countries they would want to trade with. The United Nations Assembly institution has become a vehicle of needs to be reformed as it is no longer serving the purpose for which it was created; bringing misery and murder to all countries that are blessed with mineral wealth. The United Nations Assembly has become the vehicle of endorsing the bombardment of countries which are determined to control and fight for their right to self governance. Apart from the death, injuries and infrastructure destruction nations ate left leaking their wounds, burying their dead and attempting to rebuild whiles the USA and NATO discuss sharing ratios of the wealth they suddenly take control of through  puppet leaders who are selfish among their own people and use military detention, torture and deaths as methods of silencing opposition.

The failings of the USA and NATO policies have been seen and experienced in Iraq, Libya, Egypt, Somalia, to mention a few. Whiles Saudi Arabia is left getting involved in Bahrain, no criticism of the Saudi Arabia’ involvement has been heard from the same countries that cry when protesters are killed. The allegiance of the USA and NATO to the Saudi government causes these two world war mongers blind the brutality of this oil rich nation. The US to go in and overthrow governments that defy them and don't do what the bankers on Wall Street would like them to do. (Maupin)  Is this the democracy the United Nations Assembly endorses around the world? Why has there not been a United Nations Assembly meeting to criticise that actions of the Saudis in Bahrain? The Saudis feed the monsters with oil hence their brutal actions have to be tolerated by the world? That is the kind of the world democracy that United Nations Assembly talks about and promotes.

It is time to take stock of the United Nations Assembly’s relevance to the emerging world of the greediness of the USA and Europe.

Asylum Seekers and Refugees have died, suffered most of them for issues that are not linked to their own making but siding with western interests that are not in any way beneficial to the cause of peace and democracy. If there is any democracy the right of the Syrians to deal with their own problems must be respected.

The right for Iran to make a nuclear boom must be respected. Iran must be allowed to do the development it needs without other Presidents, Prime Ministers of other countries or country, any International institutions or bodies telling Iran what to do. That is what we will all understand as democracy. If Israel can have nuclear weapons why can’t Iran do the same? Every country in the NATO as well as the USA has been a threat to international peace and stability and countries in Europe have owned nuclear weapons why were they not stopped to develop or own them?

It is these institutions, and leaders whom the USA and NATO will define as the correct arms of democracy.
