Refugee camps across Iraq are about to get a Swedish touch.
Each shelter is fitted with solar panels, mosquito nets, lights, and ventilation, reports news site IRIN. There are also lockable doors, a key feature, as lack of privacy at refugee camps can leave women and children vulnerable to sexual assault. Prototypes were previously tested among 40 refugee families in Iraq and Ethiopia. The structures offer extra space—they’re 57 feet square and six feet tall—allowing family members to stand upright in the space, as opposed to crouching or lying down in tents.
“The refugees have been involved in the process from the beginning,” Anders Rexare Thulin, managing director of Better Shelter, told IRIN. “We have received regular feedback from families living in the structures, and we made sure we incorporated their comments in our design.”
There are more than two million refugees and internally displaced persons in Iraq, according to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees. In recent years, the agency has also worked with Ikea to provide solar lamps to refugees in Ethiopia, Sudan, Bangladesh, Chad, and Jordan.
“Putting refugee families and their needs at the heart of this project is a great example of how democratic design can be used for humanitarian value,” Jonathan Spampinato, head of the Ikea Foundation’s strategic planning and communications, said in a statement. “We are incredibly proud that the Better Shelter is now available so refugee families and children can have a safer place to call home.”

Refugees, it seems, are not only good as the objects of scapegoating and xenophobic fear. They're also good for the incessant profit-seeking hunger of capitalism. First capitalism does its patriotic best to displace and make houseless; then it gets into the industry of temporary shelters. Next up: easy-to-assemble detention centers with all parts included! Euro-modern fabric covers to fit over your smuggler-supplied orange life vest for a stylish raft ride away from war! Newly designed barbed wire for constantly shifting borders!
#capitalismkills
Addendum, for those who don't get why this picture is horribly wrong:
All over Europe, people -- human to human -- are opening up their homes, cracking open squats, and supplying other shelter without need of (or desire for) capitalism, whether IKEA and its ilk or the "sharing economy" of RefugeeAirBnB, in a beautiful flowering of solidarity (not charity) projects.
ضمیمه، برای کسانی که نمی گیرن که چرا این تصویر به طرز وحشیانه ای اشتباه است:
در سراسر اروپا، مردم - انسان به انسان - دارن در خانه هایشان را به روی
پناهندگان باز میکنند ،با اشغال خانه های خالی، و تامین سرپناه های یگر بدون نیاز
به (و یا تمایل برای) سرمایه داری، اینکه آ.کی آ و نوع آن و یا "اقتصاد به اشتراک
گذاری" ، در پروژه هائی از گلپاشی زیبا از همبستگی (نه صدقه)
Refugees, too, are creating their own shelters at many spots on their journeys. Both the solidarity projects and refugees are the target of brutal policing, including having their DIY shelters confiscated, torn down, evicted, or set on fire.
پناهندگان، همچنین ، در حال ایجاد پناهگاههای خود در بسیاری از نقاطی که
سفرهمیکنند میباشند.هر دو پروژه همبستگی و پناهندگان هدف وحشیانه پلیسی
هستند،از جمله ضبط پناهگاه ها، پاره کردن، بیرون کردن، و یا به آتش کشیدن شان
Never mind that those deemed "refugees" are people forced to flee a place they call home and don't want to leave, and are then increasingly not welcome, except as added consumers of and/or cheap labor for capital; never mind that detention camps, too, are increasingly "big business" for well-salaried NGOs, bottled water companies, construction crews, and so on.
مهم نیست آنهائی که "پناهنده" تلقی میشوند مجبور به ترک محلی که خانه میخوانند شده اند و نمی خواستند ترک کنند، و سپس به طور فزاینده مورد استقبال قرار نگرفته اند، به جز به عنوان مصرف کنندگان اضافه شده و / یا نیروی کار ارزان برای سرمایه ؛ بماند که اردوگاه ها، بیش از حد، به طور فزاینده "کسب و کار بزرگی" هستند برای حقوق بگیران خوب سازمان های غیر دولتی ، شرکت های بطری آب ، خدمه ساخت و ساز، و غیره
All shelter is not equal, nor should we give in to accepting that millions are being compelled into being "refugees." People can and should be able to build, make, stay in, and cared for in their own homes and communities. Capital -- and the related state terror, wars, fascism, nationalism, xenophobia, and culture of fear being waged against us -- is fundamentally about dispossession, even if only to then crassly sell us back the world it's stolen -- to then steal and resell it again...and again...
همه سرپناه ها برابر نیستند، وما نیز نباید قبول کنیم که میلیون ها نفر مجبور به "پناهنده" شدن گردند . مردم می توانند و باید قادر به ساختن، ماندن و اقامت در، و مراقبت در خانه ها و جوامع خود میباشند. سرمایه - و ترور دولتی مرتبط، جنگ، فاشیسم، ناسیونالیسم، بیگانه ستیزی و فرهنگ ترس بر علیه ما راه انداخته اند -که اساسا در مورد سلب مالکیت هست، حتی اگر تنها پس از آن بما بفروشند جهانی را که از ما به سرقت برده اند - تا بعد مجددا بسرقت برند و دو باره بهمان بفروشد.... و دوباره ...
