SHOCKER!! African Women Protests Racism - By Setting Herself ON FIRE (PHOTOS)

: (AP) The horrifying sight which traumatized shoppers and office workers in the centre of Luxembourg City last week has now been labelled as a protest against racism. The Belgian woman of Congolese origin who set herself alight in the middle of Place d’Armes told witnesses that she was doing it to protest against racism, moments before she carried out the desperate act which has left her in hospital fighting for her life.

Maggy Delvaux-Mufu, a mother of three in her forties, alerted several national newspapers late on Tuesday morning last week that she would be burning herself alive on place des Martyrs at 12.45 am, before setting out accompanied by her husband to walk through the centre of town to her macabre rendezvous. The police were alerted and officers were deployed to the Rousegärtchen.

But the woman changed her plan when she came across a group of journalists gathered to cover an event organised by the ‘Mouvement écologique’ on Place d’Armes, opposite the Cercle municipal. She soaked herself in petrol before confronting the members of the press, announcing that she was about to sacrifice her life to protest against racism. Moments later, she struck a match, turning herself into a human torch in front of hundreds of people.

Delvaux-Mufu’s husband and passers-by jumped on the burning body, attempting to stifle the flames with coats and jackets. The scene made several people feel unwell and many witnesses who filled the square at lunchtime were traumatised by the woman’s shrieking screams of unimaginable pain. The flames were already extinguished when police, rescue services and the fire brigade arrived at the scene. One person is reported to have vomited after seeing the woman being transported into an ambulance. The events in Place d’Armes have also started a controversy regarding the authorities’ lack of psychological support for witnesses.

Delvaux-Mufu was taken to the Bon Secours hospital in Metz, where she is being treated in a specialised ward for burns and is fighting for her life. Grand Duchess Maria Teresa visited the woman and her family at the hospital last week.

RTL television was the first to run a news flash about the incident on its website on Tuesday afternoon last week. 352 reported the bulletin in its news in brief section, shortly before going to print. Events preceding the incident only came to light later on in the week.

The 42-year-old Belgian citizen and her husband had been facing financial difficulties. They had recently indebted themselves by buying a Citroën garage in Oberwampach, before realising they were missing the documents that would allow them to set up a business. Delvaux-Mufu wrote a letter to Le Jeudi recounting her story of bureaucratic difficulties and economic despair. “I’m against all forms of violence, but day after day, my family and I have to endure moral violence, discrimination, insults and much more from Mr Juncker’s administration”, she said in the letter published last week.

Money problems had driven the woman to desperately plead her case at the Prime minister’s office early on the same day of the incident. Her threat to burn herself alive on Place des Martyrs after being turned away by the authorities caused government officials to contact the police. A city-wide search was organised, but nobody could foresee the woman would change her plans."

soabuvmistress

This is truly a sad situation. I wish people would think about their children. If this woman has three children what does she think will become of them now. Why was her husband there obviously supporting her mission. This is downright disgusting and I feel for her children!


madisonAVEkid

that is just to much for the cause whatever happen to pick-it signs!!! god bless her.


strongblackwoman

MY HEART JUST FELL TO THE FLOOR..... this is sad that it has come to this, suicide bombers etc, and blackdaddy it isnt just black people.... and she is a different nationality she is African I assume, this is a bigger problem............

OMG!


stingray9

Peace to her and her family, she and her family must have been going through some serious sh**t over there with them white folks.


bew-t

This woman should have put some more thought into a more constructive and intelligent way to protest racism other than trying to kill herself...

And what kind of husband and father would stand by his wife's decision in something like this? She's obviously mentally unstable...

Sad, sad (and stupid)...


mmmama

i aint setting myself on fire for nothing.



hotboyjtc

so sad


hotboyjtc

lmao @ hotboyjtc


MINXXX

OOOKAYYYY!!!! HOW STUPID


DG1

WHAT THE HELL!!!!!!!!!!!

DAMN GIRL ALL YOU HAD TO DO WAS MARCH.


ninja

Except when the buddhist monks did it, they did not even flinch. They trained themselves through meditation to not feel the pain. I don't think she was ready for this type of thing. I really don't understand it either.


ninja

Sadly enough, I think when whites see this, they will say "Looks like were rescuing them again."


zebrahead

...why would she...


Chicken80

I think she took black pride just a little too far.


blackdaddy1696

SBW

I agree that its a bigger problem but we as black people are still stuck in the 50s and 60s when it comes to protesting.

Times have change and the days of singing we shall over come are over. We need to elmulate the jews and gays in this country and start being a bigger presents at the polls and start chin checking polaticans that allow racisim in there respective cities and towns.


MissAmerica1

STUPID BI.TCH IS THE FIRST THING THAT COMES TO MIND[SPAM]!!!



DATNI99A

LMAO!!! @MISSAMERICA1 because i was thinking the same damn thing instead I was about to say, "DUMB BITCH"


crafty

THAT WILL TEACH THEM RACIST WHITE FOLKS A LESSON; SET YOURSELF ON FIRE AND DESTROY YOUR OWN EXSISTANCE.


ninja

This did not happen last year for whomever said it did. This kind of thing happens all the time in other parts of the world.

This kind of stuff makes me want to change my mind about becoming a nurse.


AgelessHarmony

I can't even relate to such a state of mind. This is too far gone for me to comprehend.


Drea77

OMG! What in the world could she be thinking? I never understand these people that do stuff like this. What exactly do they think they are changing by inflicting harm upon themselves? Blowing themselves up...burning themselves...WTF? Won't be me, I'll tell you that!

TheTRUTH555

cosmicgirl

This is just someone who was not straight in the head...People are doing stuff more and more each day and life is becoming less and less valuable to people...I have never heard or seen anything like this. I believe this is a mix of all kinds of other emotions from this woman, she plainly didn't want to live...

Lysia

That lady crazy


Chocolatediva152

She didi this to protest Racism...and yet 2 white men tried to put her fire out...lol...so dumb


krakajax

lmao!

Just read on a belgian website that her health insurance doesn't cover self mutilation. On top of that, they are suing her with a long list of charges including public endangerment, failure to pull a burning permit, and failure to pull a public demonstration permit. She better hope the belgian supermarkets. I am going to set up a paypal account where we can donate to the family. let me know if yall are interested.


butch31

LMAO NOW DATS WUT I CALL HOTT

Did she at least have on that suit to protect her skin?


allegriaymaria

HELL TO THE NAW


bibian

stupid or not God bless her.


PrettyBoi

white folks would be all too happy if black folks did that here in the US. shyt, they would hand us the gasoline, the matches and turn it into a party.


Almadesouls

How come I have a strong feeling this story is older than two weeks?


crafty

(IN SHANENE'S VOICE) YOU SO CRAZY!


bibian

that is a terrible state of mind when you feel you have to do something like this


bibian

She was already in hell in her own mine.



Thoro

Dam, That shows you the desparatuion that racsim will sometime make you fell like. I feel bad for her and her family-BUT- i hope she has health insurance! Her husband should get his a*S whipped for assisting his wife to do such a stupid thing! hell if she think she had difficultlties being black then now you black and burned- them Cr***kers really are not tryiong to see you now! pray for them!


Prettiebrown

Looks like she's in a lot of pain. Sad.

Something must not be right upstairs because being a mother of two children should have been the FIRST reason to NOT want to do something like this or even THINK about doing something like this. Hope she pulls through for the kids' sake. And even if she does, she probably didn't even stop to think about the fact that she could messed up for the rest of her life with STILL no resolution to her problem...


krakajax

@lacosteboi79

what is wrong with you? You must live right next to a nuclear power plant or something. You cry racism in every single post yet you have no problem being one of the most racist mofo's on this site. Discrimitation happens to all races. Your ignorant diatribes do nothing but shed bad light on black people.


sk8key

she's not on fire. just running really, REALLY fast


randomtxchick

ridiculous..

i cant believe someone would do somethin like that. these pictures are very disturbing to me.


bibian

She has an up hill battle ahead of her. If i was her now i wouldn't sweat sh!t. You can't do more to be than what i did to myself. They can give her all those charges of pubic endangerment, and refuse to pay her bill. But what are they going to do to her kick her out of the hospital put her in jail and take away her house and kids. Why does the goverment want to punish her more?!


Bronx_Representative

Yea right those craKKKas set her on fire.


bibian

If she dies what then! is the goverment going to go after her family as well?!


Neeka82

Crazy! BUt MTO....this is old news. I read about this 4 months ago


girlygirl

This is absolutely CRAZY!


krakajax

Usually the gov. repo's the house and sells it to pay of fines and bills if she doesn't have the money. Her family will inherit the debt if she dies. She basically just sent herself and family back to the stone age.


ArrogantTaurus

Yeah, this is old news. I've gotten e-mails with this pic a few times. Catch up MTO


Simplistic

i dont see what i so bad about this...a buddist did the same thing during vietnam...yes it is a little extreme but it is a way to get a point across...and i dont think it was ment to stop racist from bein racist but to prevent it from developing future racist...leanr sumthin

ecuasionz

queensheba757

monks did this to protest nam war. some people just go beyond to make there point.


krakajax

The only thing they accomplish is looking like a radical jackass. They could accomplish way more with other means that aren't life threatening to them and others.They said that idiot was 15 feet away from a propane truck that was parked next to a daycare center.

At least it is not a bitchonce story.

Poor woman tho

@lacosteboi79

we all have recessive genes jackazz. u gotz served muddafcuka!



PrettyBoi

SIR-- i thought lacosteboi was gay? aint that what you were saying a week ago? didnt you have us in some sick sex fantasy a while back? are you angry cuz he turned your ugly azz down? im sure its not the first time you got turned down by a man in favor of a woman so you should be used to it by now. but i bet it really burns your pink panties anyway huh? if you spent half as much time tryna hollar at one of these females as you do me & lacoste you might convince SOMEBODY up here that youre into women but right now i doubt anyones convinced. are you gonna disapear again like a scared f*ggot like you did yesterday? i hope not, cuz i need someone to abuse! LOL!!


Dutchess1

Was it really racism that drove her?

It's such a blanket statement.

If you notice, the story reflects on her money problems. And it's ironic that she says she's against all forms of violence...yet her possible final act is the most violent of all, against herself no less.

“I’m against all forms of violence, but day after day, my family and I have to endure moral violence, discrimination, insults and much more from Mr Juncker’s administration”, she said in the letter published last week.

Money problems had driven the woman to desperately plead her case at the Prime minister’s office early on the same day of the incident. Her threat to burn herself alive on Place des Martyrs after being turned away by the authorities caused government officials to contact the police. A city-wide search was organised, but nobody could foresee the woman would change her plans."


soulsangr

pure craziness...


queenb515

I wonder...is her husband black, because it says that her husband and passersby extinguised the fire, I don't see anyone black in the pictures except her. If he isn't black, then that would answer a lot of our questions.


flyshortypyt

i saw on dateline or something that women in india or somewhere set themselves on fire all the time...there has to be a better way to express yourself. drowning or fire are not the way i want to go.


missnellypoo

UHHHHH! W..T...F!!!!!!!!!! I WOULD BE SO DISTRACTED BY HER CRAZY ASS BURNING THE FUC UP THAT I WOULD HAVE COMPLETELY FORGOTTEN WHAT THE PROTEST WAS ABOUT!!! WAY TO KEEP THE FOCUS ON PROTESTING RACISM! LMAO! NOW THEY HAVE TO USE THEIR PICKET SIGNS TO PUT THE DAMN FIRE OUT! LMBA[SPAM]OOOOO

Hey, did ya'll feel that? Racism has now ended. Thank you burnt african lady...thanks for taking one for the team.


gemini615

@ Beautynyc

I am haitian and your comment was very ignorant.

To those that said we should follow the lead of gays and jews...i agree wholeheartedly...they stand up for one another with no questions asked. I rarely hear stupid ass comments from them like 'that why so and so people don't respect us'...they do what they do and they do not care what others think of them.

As for...Beautynyc, regarding your name...I highly doubt it...


2Short

That B!*%H is crazy aint no way in HELL I would do that to myself . Especially over something I cant handle . Racism has been going on for years , that one thing that isn't going to change. oh yeah I hope she didn't think that was going change anything now the people that dont like African Americans[whoever they are] are Laughing at her dumb a$$ . IDK but it wouldn't have been me !!!!!



PrettyBoi

LOL@ Lockstress. why do i even bother? so stupid.


QT305

WHY DID SHE HHAVE TO BE BLACK, yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy


chris-brown-girl

omg.....a q dat soun rasicm im blak but it do


bdsbabydoll

I don't seem to make the same connections in my mind...how is setting yourself on fire protesting racism?? By making yourself Blacker?


mabeline

Damnmmmm its scary how cold and insensitive some bloggers are {{{{{{shivering}}}}}}}


DreDog

This is beyond belief to me.....Why oh why does anyone want to set fire to themselves. Just a terrible tragedy indeed.

That's one of the 3 things I would hate to ultimately cause my fate.

Fire - being charred to death Water - drowning Earthquakes - nuff said.


HoneyBeez

YEAH THAT WILL SHOW THEM LOL... GEEZ...SOME FOLK!


Dutchess1

@DreDog...

Ive read that when you drown, a peacefulness overtakes you (from those who are revived).

I agree with the fire..what a HORRIBLE way to die! So is suffocation..like being in a box and buried and unable to get out. Ugh!


ebonytorpedo

"FLAME ON"!!!!


brookmeade

OH MY GOD! wow thats crazyy i never seen anything like it. i hope she'll be okay


iluvyellaboys

This had to be the dumbest thing I've ever read....what good did that do, and what about her children....this was just stupid!!!! and so is she!


bdsbabydoll

@ mabeline I certainly wasn't trying to be cold and/or insensitive...I just wanted to know what kind of logical sense that made??


elle1973

She has 3 children. Why on earth would she do such a thing? There are so many more less self-destructive ways to protest injustice. Good Grief.


cosyjo

Guys this is obviously a woman at the end of her tether....at the very end. we've all been there. Some of us are just strong enough to deal with it. I doubt very much racism was the reason, it was more likely a bunch of confused reasons. Be grateful your brain doesn't turn on you.

youarejinxed

As long as there is a physical (color of skin) difference between people, there'll always be racism.

She obviously didn't take into account how this act would impact her husband and children.



ladydejour1

WOW, I don't even know what to say!!

blacksun

Damn, MTO...that story is old as hell. So much for breaking news....


blacksun

Do a google search...happened in August, but why do you have it Oct. 17?

Regardless, really sad situation. She had 3 kids...


MONALISA

BLACKSUN,

IT DIDN'T HAPPEN IN AUGUST 2007. IT HAPPENED IN OCTOBER 2001. THEY TALKED ABOUT IT IN AUGUST 2007 IN THE FORUM YOU GOOGLED. THE COWARDS AT MTO ARE NOT ASHAMED TO EXPLOIT A POOR AFRICAN WOMAN'S DEATH. AFTER ALL SHE'S AFRICAN, MEANING SHE'S WORTH NOTHING . .


mandingo7777

None of us have any idea what level of hopelessness she could have felt that would cause her to carry out such an act of desperation. It's an attention getting act but at the cost of her life and or quality of life. I am sad that she felt that she had not other options. But in this racist world we live in the choices are limited to non existence.


mandingo7777

are limited to non existent.


SoThenISaid

What sick f*ck at MTO reposted this story? What is wrong with you people?


vhotchick

...? Um.. ok?


MyBoaz13

tressa!!

You're the little girl on the Five Heartbeats who sings "We haven't finished yet?" Me and my cousin knew that whole song and would rewind your part all the time.


strawcream

@ mandingo7777

She was better off running around naked that burning her body. What point is that going to make. If she survive now she has burn scars all over her body then people will really talk. People need to talk to other folks and think before doing harm to themselves that is really sad.



krakajax

I don't feel too sorry for her. I feel sorry for all her family but I think she did it due to financial troubles and not to protest racism. There are a lot of cases where people desperate for money kill their kids or spouses or themselves and a lot of the time these people have it a LOT better than other people. I wouldn't be suprised if she was the type that constantly demanded attention either...Setting yourself on fire and running around screaming isn't the most effective way to make a suicide statement.


Fari

She should have ran towards "Them" and held on...

@ TheTruth555 - What the hell shes screamin for now? Isn't that what she wanted? What did she think fire would feel like?

Maybe her hubby had high insurance on her and was hoping she would have kept of getting crispier!

Dam fool!

Crazy ass chick!

I knew the story was old I've been on the net a long time and couldnt remember how far back it went but knew it was atleast a year. You can cut out the generalized arrogant statements against Americans. They make you no different than MTO. I'm sure you realize that things become viral on the net so unless someone saw it the first time they may think it's new info. MTO is a fool for not retracting the story but that doesn't give you an excuse to base it on all Americans. This a gossip wrag not Time Magazine.


anatello2007

YOU KNOW WHAT? I DON'T SEE WHAT SHE IS GETTING OUT OF DOING ALL THAT TO HERSELF AND HER FAMILY AH HELLO YOU HAVE KIDS YOU IDIOT, AND NOBODY CARES ABOUT THE PURPOSE OF WHAT SHE DID THEY ARE ALL FOCUSING ON A BURNT WOMAN THAT'S ALL THE HEADLINES ARE NOT GOING TO BE ABOUT RACISM THEY ARE GOING TO BE WOMAN SET'S HERSELF ON FIRE SHE IF FUCKEN NUTS!!!


darkman

damn that messed up smh


sweetpee

This news is NOT new. I saw these EXACT pictures of this SAME woman with this SAME headline in a magazine two years ago at a Rite Aid drugstore. I remember it vividly because out of shock I showed it to an employee who was standing nearby and we were both like,"Wow how crazy". TSK! TSK! TSK!


Valgas

aint gonna change shyt.. burned herself to a crisp for no reason. white folks could care less.


thetruestfaith

That is a traumatizing scene. I care that she is facing racism, but it was a very selfish thing to do. The altruistic thing to have done, was to execute other means of protesting that did not require bodily harm. The first thing that should have been flashing through her mind is... I HAVE 3 CHILDREN, THEY NEED THEIR MOTHER! This is unfortunate and that woman needs serious help! She is in my prayers.


brownsugas

WHAT THE FUCCK WAZ SHE THINKING.IS SHE AN IDIOT



africanbeauty

@charles270 u so stupid so wat if shz frm belguim?? u think african americans r the only africans hu face racism in the world??? shut that sh!t up ok


Handsome225

SHIDDDDDDDDDDD!!!!


Uncle_Tom

WHAT a dumbazz...

You get done wrong you dont set yourself on fire.

You set on fire the person or persons who done you wrong...

Its that colonial-religious-pseudo slave mindset.


justfinethanks

That's how those white racism folks are gonna burn in hell for making us suffer and as they've been tryin to kill us all off even to this day. She could've just moved or something, just get away from there, life is too short.

Karita

wow , when Tibetan monks do it in they make time life magazine , and get to be one of the most iconic images. When a black women does it her own people turn against her and make jokes, that’s some hot fired buttered bullshit and if any of you ignorant bastards ever did anything like get a real education , or stop supporting bullshit that tears down your own race, or even had an ounce of goddamn sense of pride maybe she wouldn’t have to set herself on fire . wow media take out is a KKK members wet dream.
