November 2017 It's the routine for me, I work, when I receive a call from Jerome Jarre.

November 2017 Es ist der ganz normale Alltag für mich, ich arbeite, als ich einen Anruf von Jérome Jarre bekomme

He explains to me a project by phone and invites me to join him to be a part of the Love Army on the spot,

Er erklärt mir über das Telefon ein Projekt und lädt mich dazu ein, dabei mitzuhelfen und vor Ort ein Teil der Love Army und der neuen Mission zu sein

This new humanitarian mission: #LoveArmyForRohingya

#LoveArmyForRohingya

You might have heard about it, especially on the week of the announcement the aim will be to recount this adventure the one I have called: Mission Rohingya

Ihr habt vielleicht schon etwas darüber gehört, vor allem in der Woche der Ankündigung Das Ziel wird es sein, dieses Abenteuer, das ich als Mission Rohingya betitelt habe, zu schildern

Travel Diary presented by Sébastien Frit (?!)

First of all, it is important to remind you of the situation

Als erstes ist es wichtig, sich die Situation zu erklären

let's get back to : who are the Rohingyas?

eine kleine unbedingte Erklärung: wer sind die Rohingya?

The Rohingya are a muslim minority who live in Myanmar They represent less than 5% of the population

Die Rohingya sind eine muslimische Minderheit, die in Birma leben Sie sind weniger als 5% der dortigen Bevölkerung aus

and principally live in the state of Arakan, one of the poorest states of the country

und leben hauptsächlich in der Region Arakan, eine der ärmsten des Landes

In 1982, in Myanmar, a law is voted and the Rohingya are taken off their nationality

1982 wird in Birma ein Gesetz verabschiedet, in dessen Folge den Rohingya die birmanische Staatsangehörigkeit entzogen wird

which makes them stateless, meaning they lose their nationality

das bedeutet, sie sind staatenlos

they aren't recognized as Burmese and will have less and less rights as citizens on the territory

Sie sind nicht mehr als Burmesen anerkannt und werden langsam aber sicher immer weniger Bürgerrechte in ihrem Land haben

Basically, they are rejected from their own country

Sie werden von ihrem eigenem Land abgewiesen

The ONU talks about "ethnic cleansing" and considers the Rohingya as the most persecuted population

Die UNO spricht von einer ethischen Säuberung und bezeichnet die Rohingya als das am stärksten

in the world what I am talking about right now is massacre of entire villages, of children, destruction of houses

verfolgte Volk der Welt Wovon ich hier spreche, sind Massaker an ganzen Dörfern, Massaker an Kindern, Zerstörung von Häusern, Vergewaltigungen

men, women, rape, violences of all sorts and the whole partly orchestrated by the Burmese army, themselves protected by the Burmese government

Gewalt in allen Formen und das alles zum Teil ausgeübt von der birmanesischen Armee welche selbst durch die birmanesische Regierung geschützt ist, die nichts dagegen unternimmt

who denies the facts Aung San Suu Kyi, the head of state is highly criticized lately because she tries to elude the subject

Auxonne Sookie, Staatschef des Landes wird in letzter Zeit stark kritisiert, da sie so weit wie möglich versucht

which challenges her credibility, given that she has received the Nobel prize of Peace in 1991

das ganze Thema zu vermeiden, wodurch ihre Glaubwürdigkeit in Frage gestellt wird, welche sie durch das Erhalten des Friedensnobelpreises im Jahr 1991 bekommen hatte

and all of this lasts since years but recently tension has risen up

und das alles dauert schon mehrere Jahre, aber in letzter Zeit ist die Spannung erneut in die Höhe geschnellt

in august, a group of Rohingya has rebelled to denounce the bad treatment suffered by its minorities

Im August rebellierte eine Gruppe der Rohingya, um die schlechte Behandlung, die diese Minderheit erleiden muss, anzuprangern

by attacking police stations which has lead to a severe repression from the Burmese army

indem sie Polizeireviere attackierte, was eine schlimme Unterdrückung durch die birmanesische Armee zur Folge hatte

which lead the Rohingya to flee the country in mass

was die Rohingya dazu veranlasst hat, in Massen aus ihrem Land zu fliehen

we speak of 600 thousand people who fled the country to come take refuge here, in Bengladesh

Man spricht von 600 Millionen Menschen, die aus ihrem Land geflohen sind, um hier in Bangladesh Zuflucht zu suchen

simply because they want to run away from the atrocities and where they take refuge in mass it's here

einfach nur, weil sie vor den Grauenhaftigkeiten fliehen wollen und da, wohin so viele fliehen, ist hier

these are our first steps in the camp, we arrived exactly for a distribution so the first image we will have on site

Das sind unsere ersten Schritte im Flüchtlingscamp wir sind genau in dem Moment einer Verteilung angekommen also ist das erste Bild, welches wir von dem Ort bekommen

is this queue of several hundreds of meters for a single blanket and a small amount of food

eine mehrere 100 Meter lange Schlange, nur für ein paar Decken und ein bisschen etwas zu essen

I think the people who wait here will wait a long time, maybe for nothing

Ich denke, dass die Menschen in der Schlange sehr lange warten werden - und vielleicht für nichts

it's really complicated I couldn't tell you I wouldn't like to say things and be clumsy, I prefer just saying I don't understand because In any case, there is one sure thing which is that it does something

es ist sehr kompliziert, ich kann es dir nicht sagen ich will keine Dinge sagen und dabei ungeschickt sein Ich will lieber nur sagen, das ich es nicht wirklich verstehe, weil eine Sache ist klar

Ok, the first impression is the incomprehension

Die ersten Eindrücke ist Unverständnis

we are lost when we arrive on this kind of place at first I remember I was very intimidated by the people, by the children

man ist verloren, wenn man an so einem Ort ankommt ich erinnere mich, dass ich bei der Abreise sehr eingeschüchtert war von den Menschen, von den Kindern

you don't really know how to react, you tell yourself what do they think about us? we're here visiting a camp while they are here trying to survive so the gap makes you extremely ill at ease, it's really complicated to describe

du weißt nicht wirklich, wie du reagieren sollst Was denken sie von mir wir sind da mit unserer Kamera, um ein Camp zu besuchen aber sie sind dort, um versuchen, zu überleben es lässt einen sehr unwohl fühlen, es ist schwierig zu beschreiben

a lot happens in your head until they make you feel confortable You exchange with them, you laugh, you ask questions and you realize they are very benevolant and very welcoming

es passieren viele Dinge in deinem Kopf bis ich mich wieder wohlgefühlt habe, du redest und lachst, du stellst ihnen Fragen und du bemerkst, das sie super entgegenkommend und freundlich sind

the principle encounters are the children, they come to you instinctively, by curiosity

Die meisten Begegnungen sind mit Kindern sie kommen einfach aus Neugier zu dir

on almost 1 million refugees, 1 person on 3 is a child in the camp and you quickly realize that

Fast ein Drittel der eine Million Flüchtlinge in dem Camp sind Kinder und das bemerkst du schnell

that they overflow with love

die außer sich vor Freude sind

so you might have noticed but we are in a small group

Ihr habt es vielleicht schon bemerkt, wir sind eine kleine Gruppe

simply because everyone hasn't arrived and to get to know the place, have points of reference

einfach nur, weil noch keiner angekommen ist, um sich das Camp genau anzuschauen, Orientierung zu bekommen und

and understand with our eyes why we are here, it was important for us to make this kind of visits

aus unseren Augen sehen, warum wir hier sind Es war wichtig für uns, diesen Besuch zu machen

Jerome has already come several times before to observe the situation

Jérome ist vohrer selbst schon mehrere Male dort gewesen, um sich die Situation anzusehen

he isn't with us at that moment because he wanted us to discover by ourselves the camp

dieses Mal ist er nicht mit dabei, weil er wollte, dass wir auf eigene Faust das Camp entdecken

as you have seen there is Julien better know as le Grand JD, Brandon and Charles here with us and Momo, one of the translators who also lives in the camp and who has accepted to talk for our cameras

Wie ihr sehen konntet, ist Julien oder eher "le grand j d" dabei genau so wie brandon, charles und momo, einer der Übersetzer, der selbst auch im Camp lebt und der einverstanden war, seine Stimme für unsere Kameras zu erheben

I find it important to let these people express themselves and say what they want to say

Ich finde, dass es wichtig ist, die Menschen für sich selbst reden zu lassen und sie sagen zu lassen, was sie zu sagen haben

It is why we are here, it is why we have cameras but it is time for us to get in for a matter of authorization

Das ist auch der Grund, weswegen wir da sind, deswegen haben wir Kameras aber es ist Zeit für uns, zu ein paar Fragen der Genehmigung zurückzukehren

you have to know there is a curfew in the camp from 5 o'clock but the following day will be very similar

Man muss wissen, dass es eine Sperrstunde ab 17 Uhr gibt, aber am nächsten Tag wird es sehr ähnlich sein

from the first hour we will go back to the camp there is one hour of drive from the place we stay

Ab der ersten Stunde kehren wir wieder ins Camp zurück die Fahrt von dem Ort, wo wir schlafen, bis zum Camp dauert eine Stunde und das Team heute ist fast das gleiche

and the team today is almost the same, there is toc toc a street artist and Jared a photograph who has joined us

es gibt toc toc, ein Straßenkünstler, und Jared, ein Photograph, der uns getroffen hat

so day 2 we arrived and there is a distribution now and we don't know what of so we're going to see

Tag 2, wir sind angekommen und es gibt hier eine Verteilung, also wir wissen nicht so ganz, was wir sehen werden Die Kartei, ähm, welcher Tag ist heute? Heute ist der 26.

Das ist 15 Tage her

he has shown us a little

Er hat uns ein bisschen was gezeigt

these are the papers following the different organizations, here are the papers for food

Im Groben und Ganzen haben sie Papiere, die den verschiedenen Organisationen folgen Das hier sind Nahrungspapiere

and on these papers, today we are the 26th, we are show that for example on the 5th they received rice

und auf den Blättern, wir haben heute den 26. kann man sehen, dass sie am 5. zum Beispiel Reis bekommen haben

and on the 9th and the 11th and today it has been almost 10 days they didn't receive food

am 9. und am 11. das sind also quasi 10 Tage, in denen sie nichts zu essen bekommen haben

today's program is a more deepened visit of the camp, we will stay for the day and we will pass it quickly for you

Das heutige Programm ist ein vertiefter Besuch des Camps wir werden hier den Tag verbringen

and for it not to be too boring, maestro music

und wir werden das nur kurz zeigen, damit es nicht zu langweilig für euch wird

the objective was quite simple, it was to impregnate ourselves a little more of the place

Das Ziel war einfach genug, einfach noch ein bisschen mehr den Ort in sich aufnehmen

by speaking with the people by watching the development of the camp we were able to notice sanitary problems, we have spotted places for the rest of the mission, etc etc

indem man mit den Menschen redet und indem man die Entwicklung des Camps beobachtet Wir konnten sanitäre Probleme feststellen, wir waren auf Drehortsuche für die Fortsetzung der Mission

until the next day when the team will be full and when the mission Rohingya will start for real

Today everyone is here: Omar Sy, DJ Snake, Mister V, John Rashid and the columbians Juana, Nat and Sebas arrived

you see that they are very small and are all skin and bone, it's...

he was in Saudi Arabia, stayed a little there, came back in Burma, he had worked in Saudi Arabia when he was young

he has gone to Burma because it is where he comes from and because now it is a stateless population

well there is nowhere to go and he told me that in Burma it was, like, the soldiers beated them up really so he took his family and left and came here directly

I don't have images of everyone but basically each of us went to meet these people all day

everything was based on listening the refugees we will come back to this but all our decisions were based on the Rohingya's thoughts, as simple as it is

now that we are here, we were able to analyze the situation all exchange together, share the stories

it was time for us to accelerate the speed and act with the first step: the announcement of the mobilization

you have to know that our strength today is to be able to call out massively people's attention through the social networks

through this way we decided to all film a short video announcing the situation and the start of the mission

in the biggest refugee camp where the Rohingya live, they are around 1 million it has been 3 months

they arrive in mass in this country, and they have to take refuge here in Bangladesh because over there

they are killed, they are hit, they are raped

even though the problem is so big and we don't know how to start, couldn't we do something and at least try

your mission will be to help us, to retweet, to talk about it around you, to tag maximum, the influencing people, the leading figures and most importantly the companies which have the means to help concretely

it's the media's or our role to tell what these people need, it's their role

tomorrow from 7 am french hour we will be in live directly from the camp to share in live the testimony of these people and unite together to collect money among the powerful people of this world

In any case among those who have the money

what we have to do is to show them what we have lived during these 2 days

we show them, look, no need to do to much you see

we had spotted a place where the network was decent so that we could broadcast, I remind you that we are in

Bangladesh in a refugee camp, this is the telephone antenna

we had a box of video acquisition for the stream frequently used in television to make lives

unfortunately the box didn't help us and crashed

you will understand that we aren't in the place where there is the most connection but

how many minutes are we late?

1 hour

never mind, we are late so we decide to start the live directly with our phones

I think we are connected

you can't imagine how much struggle we had to bring internet

the live finally starts, it goes well, we will have some network problems, it will cut, work, cut...

we excuse ourselves in advance but I think we will live this again and again so please excuse us

we will still be able to keep the live on some time even if it is sequenced in several times

we will make people testify etc discuss but the network will catch us and it will cut again

in front of such mishap in such situation, we have to be quick we have to act rapidly so we decide to launch the first mission

we are going to create a hashtag, I will write it here, we have to all tweet it a lot for one hour

so that they receive a notification their team receive a notification and so that we have an answer and the question we ask is are they ready to join our team, help us and unlock urgent funds for the Rohingya

so the live is complicated, we are going to go in a house just next to the camp that Saïd has found

saïd is one of the people jerome works with

you may have understood, we need an alternative quickly for the live and the time to find a solution

and to transfer the team in the house where we think having a good connection, we started bringing people

together to call out companies and powers in this world but in vain

we will wait several hours here to wait for some answers, to reflect, to negotiate brands but none will show concrete interest for the Rohingya

it has been around 4 hours that we are here

let me tell you that we were disappointed, after several hours we estimated having lost too much time

believing in the favor of the biggest groups maybe for them there is political issue or other

but we don't care we're not in this kind of thing, we only want to help some humans

and since we can only count on ourselves we decided to change strategy and do it all together

and from the moment the pool was opened, everything went really fast

It's 5am here and we just passed the 500 000$

daylight is starting to come I thank everyone by saying, guys look what you have done what we have done together that's the only final testimony the Love Army is a real... it's not an association, not a group, it's everyone, it's crazy

it's you who is watching this video and who contributed by sharing, commenting and talking about it with others

the new generation, because I am not part of those who are 20 anymore, but they are 20 years old, they unite and raise more than 650 000$ things are going on, they have moved mountains, it's just that it reinforces my faith that when we are together we are just stronger

it has been proved, it's logical you see, two generations the old, really old

it's the first time we launch a mission all together from the place we want to help and we all completed ourselves so well there were so many different profiles in the team, there were some who managed to find those who made donations

others found some people who would make noise, others were more strategic, preoccupied not to be ripped off

by all the traps we had in front of us and it was nice to work as a team like that, as equal and all help each other

in less than 24 hours the pool had passed 1 million $, it's just crazy but it is only the beginning of the mission

I present you Moussa: I am Moussa, humanitarian and also activist for the Rohingya cause

since 2013 I try to campain and have this voice heard which took a lot of time to be heard so that people can listen to the cry of these people in distress so I have travelled between Burma and Bangladesh and unfortunately I had to go to prison in 2015

so you might have heard about him, he is a humanitarian who was imprisoned on a misunderstanding during several months here in Bangladesh while he was working for the Rohingya cause France had mobilized so that he was liberated

and since, he has created his association banny street and will bring his experience and his knowledge of the place and the population

here are the new arrivals but we are far from the frontier so there are still things there

we have the luck of having moussa who have joined us, moussa who has a great experience with the Rohingya

he knows a lot of them here, he has done a lot of things for them and with him we are questioning whether we should concentrate all efforts on the orphans

apparently, from the numbers we heard, there would be 40 000 orphans in this camp

and it seems to be an enormous priority that these children aren't in the streets, abandoned

at the moment I am talking to you, the pool is of almost 2 millions$, it's a lot of money but it's at the same time very few compared to the size of the need where our obligation is to be sincere with you is that our movement, our living expanses etc only comes from us

the crow-funding website gofundme participate their way by taking no percentage on the pool

and everything will be done so that, humbly, our 2 small millions entirely transforms into recomfort

I say recomfort because the need is way bigger what you need to know is that we have to go through the same procedures and regulations as other ONG on site

the bangladesh government has limitations and laws, which is normal so it is a mission on the long term

several of us will make return trips these next months, what we noticed was the catastrophic living conditions

especially at the sanitary level, the toilet tanks are blocked, it's one of the first causes of the creation of mortal bacteries when it stagnates like that and those are things we know

what is sure is that the doctors there agree to say that there is a real management problem at the camp

and an epidemic risk, the Rohingya complained to us of the sanitary state, of the lack of water,

of receiving rice and lentils but not to be able to cook them

now the question that concerns us directly is what do we do with this money

I said at the start of this video that our choices would be the ones of the Rohingya

so here is what they have asked

first is light, there is a curfew from 5pm and the camp falls in total obscurity

so we have made an application to the government for a distribution of solar panels, we wait for an answer

secondly, it's water, 80% of the water is contaminated that's the water that gets out from the pumps in the camp, the tanks weren't digged deep enough

meaning that the waste quickly contaminated the water, we made an expert in water treatment come and we hope we will improve the biggest amount of wells possible

and the last thing are the children

it's something that was very important to us as you have seen, they are everywhere, they are 300 000, on this amount 40 000 are orphans and we would like to construct one or several places so that these children can simply go there for them not to

hang around in the streets, we can put in place some games where they could just have some fun

dream like children of their age, the terrain was found the construction is possible and the application to make the first center was done

we will of course let you informed, we have a count to give you back, not in transparency even though we will be but particularly because you have done this project with us, together and to be proud of all this

it's an adventure of several months and I am eager to see all this mobilization transformed

only in a child's smile we hope we have informed a maximum of people on the Rohingya and on this genocide

because yes it is a genocide, even Emmanuel Macron spoke about it that's it, this travel diary is finishing

thank you for having listened to me, for having listened to them it was the craziest human experience in my life

and I would like to say: to be continued
