I’m thinking someone added an extra zero to this number or something! If Sweden has the nerve to do something like that I will be amazed.
The Iraqis say they are used to living in Sweden and couldn’t assimilate back to Iraq? I think they have just become accustomed getting Swedish stuff*—you know welfare. Gosh, it’s the same the world over!
From Shafaq News:
A diplomatic source revealed on Tuesday that Sweden will deport more than 20 thousand Iraqi refugees to Iraq during the next two months while warned from the lack of a good social environment for their stay in Iraq.
The source, who asked not to be named, said in an interview with “Shafaq News”, that “Sweden intends to return more than 20 thousand Iraqi refugees in the next two months which warns from the presence of a disaster in the lack of a social environment for their stay in Iraq.”
Can’t assimilate back in Iraq!
The source explained that “the Iraqi refugees in Sweden were accustomed to live in a complete different environment than Iraqi environment which makes their integration process in the Iraqi society very difficult.”
* I am assuming these are mostly Muslim Kurds, but they could be sending Christians back too for all I know and that would be a different story because Christians are being persecuted still in Iraq.
