Guineans stand up against deportations from Canada Radio Elsewheres mix https://www.radioelsewheres.net Airing in Bihać, Bosnia and Herzegovina. A mix by Stefan Christoff featuring audio from a community event focused on Guinean struggles against deportation from Canada. This mix features audio clips from a public event in Montreal entitled “Guinean Refugees Organizing for #StatusForAll in Montreal,” which took place at Concordia University in February, 2023, which was hosted by the Social Justice Centre with support from Solidarity Across Borders and the Immigrant Workers Centre. In the clips you hear Mohamed Barry and Lamine Barry who are Guinean asylum seekers who co-founded the organization Statut pour les Guinéens, which has driven a campaign for over 5 years against the deportation of Guinean and other West African asylum seekers from Canada. Also you hear my introduction to the event, which contextualizes a bit about my archiving project that I am working on with the Social Justice Centre at Concordia. Also we hear from Marisa Berry Méndez, who works with Amnistie internationale Canada francophone and Sophie Toupin who is a member of the Amandla! Radio team on CKUT, which also documented this event. The music on this broadcast is by Anarchist Mountains, a duet that I created with my brother Jordan Christoff, also we hear a track by Nick Schofield from the album Water Sine and tracks from Miracles an album by T. Gowdy. Also there is a clip from a track Bembeya Jazz National, a Guinean ensemble that was active in the 1960s. The accompanying photo is of Mohamed Barry speaking live on Free City Radio at CKUT 90.3FM and is taken by Philippe Teixeira St. Cyr.
