A Father's Demand for Justice: Chris Enoghama Leads Memorial Protest for Daniel

The Tragic Event: June 24, 2022
On June 24, 2022, a day forever etched in the memory of Chris Enoghama, his son Daniel tragically lost his life in a back-over accident at the Curslacker Deich refugee camp. The incident unfolded as a delivery driver entered the premises despite signs warning of children at play. The driver carelessly parked in front of their container home and failed to notice Daniel while reversing. Despite Daniel's mother's cries, the accident occurred. She stands as the sole witness to this heart-wrenching event, further marred by misinformation from the police to the press, wrongly stating that little Daniel had crawled under the car, incorrectly suggesting the mother’s negligence.

Today, which would have been Daniel's third birthday, Chris Enoghama led a demonstration in front of the state prosecutor's office with clear demands:

• A Thorough Court Trial: Chris insists on a full trial to bring to light the circumstances leading to his son's death and to hold the driver legally accountable for his negligence.
• Clear Answers: He seeks answers to why a delivery vehicle was allowed to enter and park in a residential area where children play and why the initial police report falsely implicated Daniel’s mother.
• Acknowledgment of Systemic Failures: He calls for the recognition and rectification of systemic failures in refugee camp management, especially concerning child safety.
• The Importance of a Court Trial:
• A court trial in this case is pivotal for several reasons:
• Accountability: It's essential to hold the driver accountable for the negligence resulting in Daniel's death.
• Truth and Clarity: A trial will help dispel the misinformation and provide a clear narrative of the events leading to Daniel's tragic death.
• Justice for Daniel: Daniel’s Life Matters! It represents a fight for justice for Daniel, affirming his life's value and his family's right to justice.
• Preventing Future Tragedies: The trial can set a precedent for the level of care and caution required from drivers, particularly in areas inhabited by children.

Chris Enoghama's protest is more than a personal quest for justice; it's a rallying cry against systemic issues affecting marginalized communities. It highlights the need for:

• Improved safety measures in refugee accommodations.
• Greater accountability from law enforcement and judicial systems.
• Recognition of the challenges faced by refugee families, particularly those of African descent, within these systems.

A Call for Solidarity and Change:

The community's support for Chris Enoghama and his family is a powerful statement of solidarity. It underscores the urgent need for systemic changes to prevent such tragedies from recurring and to ensure that refugee families live in safe and dignified conditions. Today's demonstration was a crucial step towards achieving justice for Daniel and reinforcing the fundamental principle that every life matters and deserves protection.
