Swedish Cities Under Attack From Middle East Migrants; EU Plan To Deport Thousands

Stockholm, one of Europe's richest capitals, has the fastest inequality rate of any advanced OECD economy.

[From article]
It is supposed to be the model multicultural state. But Sweden is facing problems of its own after gangs of immigrants spent a fifth consecutive night rioting in Stockholm.
Officers are battling to keep the capital under control after hundreds of cars were torched, a police station set alight and fire services kept from a major blaze by a stone-throwing mob of youths.
To make matters worse, rioting has now spread to Sweden’s two other major cities, Gothenburg and Malmo.
[. . .]


The unrest appears to have been sparked after police shot and killed a man wielding a machete on Sunday.


Left-wing activists came forward to accuse police of racism – a charge strongly denied by the Stockholm force.
Growing unrest turned to violence last Sunday in a north-western suburb called Husby – where more than 80 per cent of the residents are from overseas, mostly Turkey, Somalia and the Middle East.
Trouble then spread to some of the city’s most deprived areas, shattering the country’s proud claim that it is a template for a successful and ethnically diverse society.
On Thursday night there were 90 separate blazes in the capital. Thirty cars were torched and there were eight arrests – mostly of people in their early 20s.
In earlier attacks, groups of up to 100 rioters targeted schools, nurseries and shops – breaking windows and setting buildings ablaze.
In Skogas, south of Stockholm, emergency services were kept from a fire in a restaurant when a gang of youths pelted fire engines with rocks.
And in nearby Ragsved a violent mob set fire to a police station – the second to come under attack in two days
Lars Bystrom, a Stockholm police spokesman, said: ‘Such fires are mainly lit to lure the police to the scene, who are then attacked.’
He admitted officers have been forced to change their tactics, saying: ‘Now if there is a small fire that is not likely to spread, and there is no risk to life, we will send out a patrol and keep an eye on it from a distance.
‘But we are not going to bring in the fire brigade unless it’s really dangerous.’
The attacks on emergency service workers have led to private security companies telling employees to stay at home, as mobs have started attacking anyone wearing a uniform.
Several public transport routes have also been cancelled after rioters started hurling petrol bombs at buses.

Around 15 per cent of Sweden’s 9.5million inhabitants were born outside the country.
The second largest group of immigrants, after the Finns, are Iraqis – numbering more than 125,000. Former Yugoslavs total over 160,000 and Iranians almost 65,000.
[. . .]
‘We have groups of young men who believe that you can and should use violence to change society. Let us be clear. This is not okay. We cannot be governed by violence.’

EU home office ministers, including British Home Secretary Theresa May (above), will discuss the draft plans at a summit in Luxembourg. She has called for new deportation measures for the UK, saying mass immigration was making it impossible to build a cohesive society.

[From article]
Hundreds of thousands of failed asylum seekers will be deported from Europe within weeks under secrets plans to tackle the migrant crisis.
The European Union will threaten African countries such as Niger and Eritrea that it will withdraw aid, trade and visa arrangements unless they agree to take back economic migrants.
Plans would also be put in place to detain thousands of migrants to stop them fleeing to avoid deportation.

U home office ministers, including Theresa May, will discuss the draft plans at a summit in Luxembourg this week.
Despite Britain not being part of the Schengen zone and therefore not bound by the plan, the British Home Secretary is expected to support the proposals if they lead to the Calais migrant camps being cleared, it was reported by The Times.
[. . .]
The document states: 'Member states must systematically issue return decisions, take all necessary steps to enforce them and provide adequate resources, necessary for identifying and returning illegally staying third-country nationals.
'All measures must be taken to ensure irregular migrants’ effective return, including use of detention as a legitimate measure of last resort.'
Mrs May yesterday called for new deportation measures for the UK, saying mass immigration was making it impossible to build a cohesive society and was against Britain's national interest.
She said Britain 'does not need' large numbers of migrants and warned they are putting British workers out of jobs and forcing down wages.
[. . .]
Mrs May also revealed that Britain has spent more than £4million processing asylum claims by EU citizens at no risk of persecution.
Many of the claimants are from Spain, where millions of Britons take holidays, and Poland.
Europe is struggling to cope with its worst migrant crisis since World War Two as hundreds of thousands flee war and persecution in Africa and the Middle East.
More than 500,000 have arrived in Europe across the Mediterranean so far this year, more than double the figure for 2014, according to the international Organisation for Migration.
German authorities, meanwhile, expect up to 1.5million refugees to come to the country this year, up from a previous estimate of 800,000 to one million.
