I Just got back from a memorial concert in honor of Alberto Adriano, a 39 year old Mozambican father of 3 who was murdered in Dessau by skinheads 10 years ago. It was a sobering experience revisiting the scene of Adriano’s murder i had hoped things would have changed for the better in this provincial town that has gained a notorious reputation for tuning a blind eye on racism but i was to be proven dead wrong; for Dessau has deliberately refused to address Adriano’s murder, there is a conspiracy of silence, city officials are in a state of denial, the majority of the her residents want this “dark” chapter closed, buried and forgotten.
