People who immigrate to Denmark illegally and seek asylum will soon be transported 700 km away and placed in a Danish asylum centre in a Central African country.

For several years already, the Danish government has sought a country that is willing to accept immigrants seeking asylum in Denmark, while the asylum process is being processed. Jyllands-Posten announced that the African country Rwanda was ready to receive Denmark’s asylum seekers. Denmark’s integration minister Mattias Tesfaye said they were negotiating with several countries, but did not want to confirm whether Rwanda was one of these.

According to the Danish daily, Rwanda’s president Paul Kagame could be “the man who fulfils the Social Democrats’ asylum dreams’. The news came on April 1, but in Denmark there were few people who thought it was an April Fool’s joke. The Danish Social Democratic government has for several years had a very restrictive line on immigration and has also initiated an active return policy of Syrians. The government has been open about wanting to sign a bilateral agreement with another country, to receive Danish asylum seekers so that they removing them from Danish society while their asylum status is being investigated.

The government is currently said to be negotiating with several different countries on the issue. Jyllands-Posten, which is Denmark’s largest daily newspaper, seems to be at the forefront of advocating that Arab and African asylum seekers be sent out of the country. In the article, the newspaper writes that they themselves have contacted several countries requesting a piece of land to be able to build an asylum centre where asylum seekers are deported pending investigation.

Libya and Morocco have declined, but Rwanda says it is positive

“Rwanda already has facilities for asylum seekers and we appreciate the cooperation with Denmark in this area. We are open to more cooperation and new proposals, which can lead to offering suitable conditions for asylum seekers “, the Rwandan embassy responded to Jyllands-Posten.

Denmark and Rwanda’s cooperation in the area of ​​migration policy has been ongoing for several years. Among other things, Denmark has donated SEK 21 million to a project where refugees who are stuck in Libya on their way to Europe are instead transported to Rwanda. Last year, Denmark received 200 quota refugees from Rwanda. For several years, Denmark had refused to accept quota refugees at all, but it was resumed on a smaller scale a few years ago.

Whether the Danish government will actually sign an agreement with Rwanda is still unclear, but Integration Minister Mattias Tesfaye writes in a comment to Jyllands-Posten that Rwanda was a “progressive” country that played “an incredibly positive role”. He also confirmed that negotiations were underway with current countries, but did not want to reveal whether it was Rwanda.

“We have identified a handful of countries, where we see opportunities to enter into cooperation. Based on that, we will move forward with more concrete dialogue. For the time being, we would like to keep these conversations confidential,” he told the newspaper.

Rosa Lund, integration policy spokesperson for the left-wing party Enhetslistan, was furious and tweeted that she was “very worried”: “Rwanda is not directly known for its democracy. I am very worried about locating a reception centre there, when we could instead open all closed asylum centres in Denmark.”

Rune Möller Stahl, a researcher at the University of Copenhagen, pointed out that the Kagame government had attacked refugees in the Congo in the 1990s and killed tens of thousands. “Are we sure he is the one we want to outsource our refugee policy to?”

Meanwhile, Social Democratic Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said that it was obvious and logical that Syrians who come from areas in the country that can now be considered safe enough to stay in should of course return home. According to the newspaper Jyllands-Posten, it is about hundreds of Syrians who in the coming months will return home to, above all, Damascus and surrounding areas. Prime Minister Frederiksen also engaged in some self-criticism and said that Danish refugee policy should have been clear and unambiguous from the outset.

In the coming months, Denmark will be the first EU country to start repatriating Syrian asylum seekers coming from the Damascus region. The areas around the capital are now considered by the Danish government to be so safe. On Tuesday 13 April, the PM made a statement that can not be understood in any other way than that the return policy was self-evident, surprising for a Social Democratic Prime Minister.

“For me, it is completely obvious and logical that they return home if the areas they came from are safe enough for that.” She continued: “I completely share that analysis! If you are a refugee, but no longer meet the requirements for protection needs and you are no longer personally persecuted, then you should go home, as simple as that.”

She also added that the Syrian asylum seekers should perceive it as a patriotic duty to return home to their homeland and use any skills they acquired during their stay in Denmark to rebuild their homeland.

An ex-member of the banned terrorist organisation “Islamkreis Hildesheim” will stand trial at the Higher Regional Court in Celle on Monday, April 19, 2021. The 38-year-old is accused of supporting the terrorist militia Islamic State (IS). His brother is said to be a high-ranking member of the terrorist militia.

According to the public prosecutor’s office, the accused is said to have supported the terror militia via Germany for years, reports the news agency dpa. According to the report, the brothers belonged for a long time to the now banned German-speaking Islamkreis Hildesheim – an association that is said to have encouraged numerous people to join the terror militia under the leadership of the now convicted preacher Abu Walaa*.

The accused is said to have substituted for his brother in Germany after his departure with a general power of attorney as an “asset manager” and to have aided him logistically and financially. He sent several thousand euros as well as smartphones and tablets to Syria through middlemen, according to the indictment.

As the news agency dpa further reports, the accused is also alleged to have organised the departure of the brother’s wife with their four minor children to Syria. The 38-year-old has been in custody since the end of July last year.

A small parking ticket, a very expensive Mercedes SUV and a lot of trouble: up to 100 men and women gathered in Essen on Saturday, and finally the police temporarily arrested three men.

What was going on?

Two employees of the public order office (26, 50) were checking parked cars at 5.30 pm. When they wanted to ticket the black Mercedes ( worth 100,000 euros), they were threatened by the three occupants, the police reported.

The women barricaded themselves in the patrol car, one of the opponents made their car rock, another quickly mounted the licence plate (registration: Switzerland) from the off-road vehicle. When the police arrived, the trio and the car had disappeared.

One and a half hours later, however, one of the meter maids recognised one of the perpetrators (29) – in a crowd of people who cared neither about keeping their distance nor about wearing face masks.

The German-Moroccan, who is known to the police officers because of similar deployments and allegedly lives in Switzerland in the meantime, was arrested by police officers who were called in.

Then the situation escalated completely!

Police spokeswoman Sylvia Czapiewski (44): “Several people then joined forces and approached the officers in a threatening manner, demanding that they let go of the 29-year-old. A 40-year-old finally attacked the police officer who was detaining the 29-year-old German-Moroccan and tore him away from him, allowing him to flee in the commotion.”

When more police cars approached, many of those present fled. The 40-year-old man of Lebanese origin was temporarily arrested, as was a man (25) of Turkish origin. A 20-year-old German who had filmed the arrest was also taken to the police station.

The three men and the man who escaped in a Mercedes are now facing charges for assaulting police officers, resisting arrest, coercion and freeing a prisoner. A manhunt is on for the 29-year-old.

Hesse’s Ministry of Education advises teachers that the use of Mohammed cartoons in class could be dangerous – a highly controversial move. Some teachers think: After the murder of Samuel Paty, such depictions should be discussed all the more.

Hesse’s Ministry of Education and Cultural Affairs wrote to the 1800 school headmasters in the state that there were disturbing “indications/suggestions in connection with the discussion of the murder of the French teacher Samuel Paty”.

Referring to a suggestion by the State Office of Criminal Investigation (LKA), it says: “Showing the Mohammed cartoons or any pictorial representation of the Prophet Mohammed can be interpreted as behaviour critical of Islam, which can have an emotionalising and, under certain circumstances, mobilising as well as radicalising effect on the target group, including pupils.”

The Hessian warning is the only one of its kind in Germany so far. Although the “hints/suggestions” are cautiously worded, the message is clear, according to migration researcher Ruud Koopmans of the Science Centre Berlin: “No teacher will dare to show the cartoons after reading the letter.”

If Sweden’s Moderate Party wins the next election in Sweden, the parts of the current left-wing government’s new migration law that increase immigration will be scrapped, said opposition leader Ulf Kristersson.

Last week, the government presented its proposal for a new migration policy. Among other things, the government wants temporary residence permits for migrants as the new standard and requires that those migrants who apply for a permanent residence, for example, can support themselves.

However, Sweden’s left-wing government also wants to introduce a “humanitarian protection basis” to enable people who lack “security” to still be allowed to stay in Sweden. This new proposal affects the so-called unaccompanied minors who are covered by the Upper Secondary School Act.

Minister for Migration Morgan Johansson (Social Democrats) has called this “the strictest refugee legislation in 40 years in Sweden, and also stricter than the EU average”. 

However, leader of the Sweden Democrats (SD) Jimmie Åkesson says that such claims are a mirage and said he believes that the government’s proposal will lead to increased immigration. SD wants a complete stop to permanent residence permits for migrants.

On Sunday, the Green Party’s spokesperson, Märta Stenevi, also a government minister, and the Moderate Party’s Ulf Kristersson met in SVT’s Agenda to debate the law. Kristersson also believes that the proposal will lead to more immigration and pointed out, among other things, the humanitarian protection basis that opens up the possibility for unaccompanied minors to stay.

“There are 8,000 such people. It also sends a signal that you can stay in Sweden even without proving protection reasons, which in turn will make even more people apply to Sweden,” said the Moderate Party leader.

“In practice, it will be an amnesty for people who have been here for a long time and who can claim that it would be a shame to send them out of the country,” he warned.

When asked directly about the proposal leading to increased immigration, Stenevi answered: “Not to any great extent, no. We will not know because this is about individual assessments in individual cases.”

“What we have said together with the Liberals, Christian Democrats and Sweden Democrats is that the bad parts of this proposal, which increase immigration to Sweden in a situation where it should be reduced, we will tear up after the election,” announced Kristersson.

“I think it is wrong to measure the degree of humanity in how many people get the right to come to Sweden. Sweden has partial responsibility for a broken world, without a doubt — as a rich country we have partial responsibility. But we have full responsibility for how things go in Sweden. If we do not take that responsibility, things will go really, really badly in Sweden,“ said the Moderate Party leader.

“But should Sweden not be this great humanitarian power anymore?“ asked host Anna Hedenmo.

“If you mean that Sweden should receive a larger proportion of all people who seek asylum in the Nordic countries or in Europe, then we should not be,” he concluded.
