Suleiman Ismail Abubaker was murdered in Paceville. His death comes right after an electoral campaign which inflamed xenophobe and racist sentiments. Is it a coincidence? Maybe, but the behaviour of police protected part time bouncers and xenophobe and racist discourse stirring up an already worrying climate should not be taken lightly.
This Saturday, Moviment Graffitti is organising a walk against racism and violence in Paceville @ 7:30PM.

And how is this a racist attack? What about the gang rape of a Japanese tourist in Marsa a couple of years ago, was that a racist attack by Africans? What about the several rape victims of Africans, were they racist too?
This is simply an aggressive bouncer responding to an aggressive drunkard. Black, White, Pink, Blue, the colour has nothing to do with it.
