Terrorize or Leave - Norway's Migration Paradox



Oslo District Court decided Muslim extremist Mullah Krekar should be remanded in custody for eight weeks

Ethiopian asylum seeker children to leave, Norway increases aid 

Oslo citizens welcome high immigrant numbers 

Mind you three of these conflicting lead stories were published this month (March) by a Norwegian on-line magazine called www.theforeginer.com 
Mullah Krekar Norway's Spoiled Terrorist
Mullah Krekar, the controversial Islamist, who's been back and forth at court hearings due to his illegal and terrorist activities; has been a household name in that country ever since he founded a terrorist group called Ansar Al-Islam back in early 2000s.  Al though, Mullah Krekar a.k.a. Najmudin Farij Ahmed was naturalized citizen of Norway after he sought political asylum in Norway in 1991; he is biting the hands that feed him by masterminding and participating in various terrorists activities. Eventually the court revoked his Norwegian citizenship and decided to deport him back to Iraq in 2003; however Norway couldn't expel him to-date due to lack of assurance about his "safety" from Iraqi government so the generous, patient and politically correct Norwegian government is babysitting him and his family members at par excellence with tax-payers money. For instance he made death threat  to Conservative Norwegian Party Leader, Erna Solberg in  2010.

Is It Worthy to Be an Ethiopian?


RIP Alem Dechassa (1979-2012)
I've been thinking to write about this subject for sometime but for some unknown reasons my hands refused; it could be due to many saddening/humiliating/degrading  incidents happening like a series movie over the past few months. My heart still bleeds with sorrow, helplessness and anger every time I think of this young Ethiopian woman called Alem Dechassa who was dragged by her hair, beaten and forced in to a car by Lebanese thugs in front "her" unhelpful Consulate in Beirut, Lebanon. To add more insult to the sad news, "our" Consulate general announced that the defenseless mother of two sons, committed "suicide" using her bed sheet a few days after being forcibly checked into a mental hospital. Even though her suspicious death calls for more investigations;

SOS Norway, Kiss Goodbye to Geneva Convention 1951?


"The 1951 Convention protects refugees. It defines a refugee as a person who is outside his or her country of nationality or habitual residence; has a well-founded fear of being persecuted because of his or her race, religion, nationality, membership of a particular social group or political opinion; and is unable or unwilling to avail him or herself of the protection of that country, or to return there, for fear of persecution (see Article 1A(2))."



In contravention to the 1951 Geneva Convention; Norway, one of the founding signatories of this convention; is preparing to deport forcibly over 400 Ethiopian Political asylum seekers and their children as of March 15, 2012, to Ethiopia where they would most probably prosecuted by the ruling junta for their opposition political activism at the leadership and grass roots levels in Norway.       
It's ironic and very sad that such violations against desperate, helpless and voiceless Ethiopian political asylum seekers who were supposed to be protected by International Conventions; came from the descendants of Fridtjof Nansen; who had been the League of Nations’ high commissioner for refugees from 1921 until his death in 1930 and whose priceless ideals and values to the causes of refugees brought the birth of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR). The Nansen International Office for Refugees was awarded the 1938 Nobel Prize for Peace in recognition of its efforts and its display of worldwide humanitarianism.
