I KNOW IT'S LONG BUT FUCKING READ IT!
October 17, 2007. (AP) The horrifying sight which traumatized shoppers and office workers in the centre of Luxembourg City last week has now been labelled as a protest against racism. The Belgian woman of Congolese origin who set herself alight in the middle of Place d’Armes told witnesses that she was doing it to protest against racism, moments before she carried out the desperate act which has left her in hospital fighting for her life.Maggy Delvaux-Mufu, a mother of three in her forties, alerted several national newspapers late on Tuesday morning last week that she would be burning herself alive on place des Martyrs at 12.45 am, before setting out accompanied by her husband to walk through the centre of town to her macabre rendezvous.
The police were alerted and officers were deployed to the Rousegärtchen.But the woman changed her plan when she came across a group of journalists gathered to cover an event organised by the ‘Mouvement écologique’ on Place d’Armes, opposite the Cercle municipal. She soaked herself in petrol before confronting the members of the press, announcing that she was about to sacrifice her life to protest against racism. Moments later, she struck a match, turning herself into a human torch in front of hundreds of people.Delvaux-Mufu’s husband and passers-by jumped on the burning body, attempting to stifle the flames with coats and jackets. The scene made several people feel unwell and many witnesses who filled the square at lunchtime were traumatised by the woman’s shrieking screams of unimaginable pain. The flames were already extinguished when police, rescue services and the fire brigade arrived at the scene. One person is reported to have vomited after seeing the woman being transported into an ambulance.
The events in Place d’Armes have also started a controversy regarding the authorities’ lack of psychological support for witnesses.Delvaux-Mufu was taken to the Bon Secours hospital in Metz, where she is being treated in a specialised ward for burns and is fighting for her life. Grand Duchess Maria Teresa visited the woman and her family at the hospital last week.RTL television was the first to run a news flash about the incident on its website on Tuesday afternoon last week. 352 reported the bulletin in its news in brief section, shortly before going to print. Events preceding the incident only came to light later on in the week.The 42-year-old Belgian citizen and her husband had been facing financial difficulties. They had recently indebted themselves by buying a Citroën garage in Oberwampach, before realising they were missing the documents that would allow them to set up a business. Delvaux-Mufu wrote a letter to Le Jeudi recounting her story of bureaucratic difficulties and economic despair. “I’m against all forms of violence, but day after day, my family and I have to endure moral violence, discrimination, insults and much more from Mr Juncker’s administration”, she said in the letter published last week.
Money problems had driven the woman to desperately plead her case at the Prime minister’s office early on the same day of the incident. Her threat to burn herself alive on Place des Martyrs after being turned away by the authorities caused government officials to contact the police. A city-wide search was organised, but nobody could foresee the woman would change her plans."
FOR THE SLOTHS...
Basically a Belgian woman set herself on fire as a protest against racism.
What a statement, but shit isn't that what the oppressors would want you to do?
Why burn a cross when they can just watch you burn.

that is sum crazy sh*t. those pictures...wow, speechless..
Tracy i am so glad that you posted this story. I haven't heard this story on the news (whom may i add alwasy find time to cover senseless stories on Brittney Spears and Lindsey lohan) But
I applaud you for using your outlet to spread the word. I commend that women and will leave her in my prayers. god bless. We need to realize that an injustice towards one black person is injustice towards us all.
Oh Nas...
MY ASS! oh Nas nothing! this woman and NAS are on the same side of the fence. when society oppresses people for so long, passive aggression and polite requests are not good in enough. People resort to doing BOLD, OUTLANDISH jaw dropping shit. I.E. civil right sit ins, civil rebellion, boycotts. Things that make ppl everywhere question "Is it that serious?.. hmmm. looking at this shit apparently so...". The extreme behvaior NAS & this woman both pushed for is to let evryone evrywhere just know how REAL shit is getting! this woman felt the only way she could turn heads and get an honest societal analyzation of the current state of racism was to set her ass on fire. well done in its own respect. NAS felt the best way to truly show how alarmingly clear the overusage of the word NIGGA has become was 2 make it his album title! well done in its own respect. We're acting like him making it the title is now giving the international "OKAY" to people everywhere that its okay to use it! No, he letting everybody know enough is fuckin 'nuff-- The same way there is zero tolerance policy for making terrorists jokes on a plane.WAKE UP BLACK PEOPLE! that nasty little word we use in our own personal little mahogany clusters of privacy IS NOT A SECRET! white people know we use it! and trust and believe NAS wasn't the one who let the cat out the bag.
Both this woman & Nas are on some extreme shit.. maybe one more than the other--but they're DEFINATLEY-- DEFINATLEY ( i must reiterate for emphasis) on the same shit and pushing for the same awareness.
and for you tracy!! if there's anybody that owes this woman an apologgy, its Dave Chappelle.he's the one who publicly overused the shit on mainstream television w/ a cup of red kool-aid and smile and said "come one America! the n-word is fun to use! look at how much fun im having!"--not my boy NAS! srry!
I can understand that the woman's economic situation was dire, however not knowing the full facts of the case; it is a mistake to immediately assume that Racism was the issue. I don't think that it is a good idea to have this victim-ist outlook because in the end you will become that exact condition that you wished for.
