France: "They don’t give a stuff about Palestine, the black cause, or social inequalities"


Civil war has broken out in the bizarre world of Dieudonné, the black, anti-Semitic comedian at the centre of the “Nazi” salute row surrounding the footballer Nicolas Anelka a year ago.
Several black supporters of Dieudonné M’bala M’bala, including former bodyguards, have turned against him, complaining of his increasingly close connections with white, allegedly racist, groups in France and what they claim is his supposed obsession with personal enrichment.
(...)

The campaign is led by Jérémie Maradas-Nado, alias Jo Dalton, a former leader of the Black Dragons, a gang which defended black people from attacks by white skinheads in the 1990s. He was for several years the leader of Dieudonné’s bodyguards.

Of Dieudonné and Mr Soral, Mr Dalton now says: “At first I told myself that these guys were breaking new ground – that they were courageous. Then I saw more and more people with shaven heads and swastikas. By allying himself with fascists, Dieudonné has betrayed the black cause.”

Another former Dieudonné bodyguard, named only as Jessie, told the newspaper Libération: “In truth, they don’t give a stuff about Palestine, the black cause, or social inequalities.” Dieudonné has retaliated by accusing Mr Dalton of “extortion” and being a “Zionist stooge”. Mr Dalton has created, with friends, a website called Les Vrais Savent (“Real People Know”). In recent weeks they have posted the alleged email exchange between Mr Soral and Ms Bangoura – and the purported image of Mr Soral – in an attempt, they say, to reveal the true nature of Dieudonné’s political theories.
