Activists in Sweden Turned Terrorists
February 25th, 2013 TesfaNews
*If the Government in Sweden still believes it can achieve what it lost the
other way around but through tacit backing and harboring of terrorists
within, they are gravely mistaken!*
Churning for 'democracy' and 'rule of law' by acting like a coward
"terrorist"
By TesfaNews,
*Last night*, right after the Stockholm based TV station SVT aired a skewed
and unfair documentary aimed against the peaceful Swedish-Eritrean citizens
particularly on their 2% voluntary contribution towards the reconstruction
of their home country, hooligans under the banner name of "activists"
commit a terrorist act by setting fire on several of the Eritrean community
centers in Stockholm.
*The following is what the Eritrean Communities in Stockholm reports
following the incident:-*
On Sunday (24) evening, the SVT program called '*Agenda*' carried a
documentary that was clearly designed to mislead and incite the audience by
presenting a biased and unfair report about the 2% duty Swedish-Eritreans
pay voluntarily towards the reconstruction of their homeland. It did not
even attempt to act objectively by presenting other views. The aim of the
program was clearly to terrorize people from participating in a legal and
noble cause.
A few hours later to this broadcast of the Television Program in SVT, *three
Eritrean community centers* were fire bombed during the night in a
coordinated acts of terrorism and violence right in the streets of the
capital city of Sweden.
The Eritrean Community centers in *Solna*, *Husby *and in *South
Stockholm*were set on fire in the middle of the night, and fire
engines and police
have been in attendance in the early morning of Monday 25th of February.
The Eritrean community centers are the life and soul of the community where
everyone gathers for all forms of social life, such as weekend school for
children, women's gatherings, family celebrations, community meetings and
all sorts of social functions. All the three community centers *had
functions* until late Sunday evening on the night the fire was started.
Police have already indicated that some people were seen acting
suspiciously and people have heard breaking of a glass around the *Solna
Community Centre*. However, negligence in dealing of previous similar
incidents that were reported to the police has encouraged these acts of
terrorism. All law enforcement bodies should handle the simultaneous
firebombing in the streets of Stockholm appropriately as it was intended to
damage life and property of Swedish citizens.
As the news is slowly reaching the members of community, children and
elderly members are especially shocked to see the venue they normally
frequent turned in to ashes and wondering what could have happened if
anyone had been inside at the time of fire, and they are asking why and how
was this allowed to happen.
The Eritrean community in Stockholm is known of being well organized and
engaged in their community matters. Although this kind of incident is
intended to create terror and panic among the community and beyond, the
resolve and experience of the community will not be broken by acts of
mindless criminals who do not have any care for the lives and property of
the public.
What possible aim or motivation could anyone have for firebombing a public
community centre in the streets of Stockholm is the question that is
repeatedly being asked by every members of the community, except to
terrorize and damage the spirit of the Eritrean community. By the same
token, what possible aim would a Swedish television program has to
misrepresent facts in a documentary that is completely alien to the
objectivity you would expect from such an institution?
The Eritrean communities in Stockholm and elsewhere in Sweden have been
victims of these mindless incidents by some individuals and media
institutions for some period of time now, and have been talking to the
police and other law enforcement authorities to take their responsibility
diligently. It has now reached *a serious level* where lives could have
been lost. The Eritrean communities cannot take any more chances. The last
thing the Swedish authorities want at the moment is for people to take the
law into their own hands, only because they fail to safeguard the security
and peace of our communities. The whole Eritrean community cannot be held
hostage by few mindless criminals who are acting with impunity on the
streets of Stockholm.
These are the questions that need answers from Swedish authorities
immediately. The Eritrean community is a disciplined, law abiding, peace
loving and hard working part of the Swedish society and will pursue our
right of association and expression vigorously until we get justice from
the Swedish authorities.
