Bringing the 3rd World to Europe is unbelievable folly, yet politicians of country after country refuse to see this truth - and incredibly, the people keep voting for them. Turkeys voting for Christmas, I believe is the correct term. It will all end in tears.
what a stupid policy, you get them in and then fire at them, what a waste of money and resources...
When US crime stats are broken down by race, if the US were predominantly white nation, the simple FACT is, is that the US would have one of the lowest crime rates in the world. Lower than that of most EU nations and Japan.
A secondary question is whether Sweden as a nation supports events that celebrate support for the Eritrean regime. If yes, then these stone throwing imbeciles should confine their anger to writing blogs and letters to politicians to get these events banned within Sweden.
While your intent and spirit are good and right, one can't ban demonstrations (which shouldn't be interpreted to mean that the policy can't go after demonstrators who attack persons or property). The freedom to assemble shouldn't be infringed for any reason, other than those provided herein.
The best solution is to have a strict and restrictive immigration policy.
Agree that there should be no ban on freedom of assembly.
But for example people wrote to the organizers of a concert by a gay-hating idiot from Jamaica recently in any attempt to get that concert cancelled.
Similarly, Anti-Eritraen-regime people could appeal to the owners of a venue (even if that is the city itself) to refuse to host an event that is inconsistent with Sweden's democratic values, so that the pro-regime people might ultimately be forced to gather on a patch of grass somewhere instead, in the way that the KKK is forced to gather in dark fields at night in the Southern US for example.
The dictator Eritrea regime's tactics has recently diverted from inside Eritrea to outside diaspora teenagers who have identity crises and most of them grow up under family crisis (single mam and or single dad).As history tells us those who are in desperate need of social integrations are victims of dictators and persuaded ungodly works of evil once.
The Dictator Isayas thru his advocate Yemane gebreab whom should have been denied to enter and make any activity in Sewed for the regime has denied any call from Sweden for release of Isaak and respecting human rights,Is conducting and deceiving the young born in Sweden who have no clue of the real behaviour of the regime.
As it is commonly known the Eritrea regime that has brutally enslaved the young Eritreans and left the country after endless barbarism, they diverted their snare tactics to diaspora and get advantage of their short-sighted emotional emptiness.
No Eritrean young who left Eritrea has and will be by the regime in diaspora for we have seen in depth their evil works and the rewards they gave us after long serving them
The Sweden government should look in to this matter very carefully and take action before these young teenagers are grounds of the dictatorial regime and become a treat to Sweden, Europe and other.
I would like to ask the following simple question to those teenagers in favour of the Isayas regime;
1. Do you really support the Isayas regime what do you support its policies, its human rights, its development what what what ?????????????
2. Have you ever asked the regime how many Eritreas are in prison and why they do not get justice as you get in Sweden
3. Have you ever asked the young Eritreans who came thru Mediterranean Sea , Sinai deserts etc.) why do they risk their lives if the regime is like what you see " A GAYLA "
4. Why is the regime paying Ethiopia 10million for the war on Badme
There are many questions these may be enough to challenge you and respond to it.
I call upon the Sweden to stand against the dictators and their evil works in Eritrea stand for a rule of law .And block any ideological weapons of the dictator in your land.
Thanks
