Migrants Assault, Insult, and Run Over 60 Minutes Crew in Sweden


Sweden is on the brink of an economic and cultural disaster, one Swedish man tells 60 Minutes.

He said that Sweden is too trusting.  They have a too trusting in their acceptance of young refugees, with men posing as boys to claim special treatment.

Han points to a photo, “This is an athlete and he claims to be a 14-year-old.  If you’re 18 and above you don’t get the benefits that you get if you are under 18 and you can’t be thrown out with the same kind of laws and force.”

“Will the generosity stop?” questioned the host.

“Well if you call it generosity to ruin your own country, yes, it has to stop, but I think we’re still generous.”

The host then questions a refugee,  “Have you seen your fellow refugees?”

“Of course you always have relly bad refugees.  You know people who just, you know take everything for free, who cannot wait to know to take their chance. It is frustrating but you gotta keep strong.. You do it for yourself and for your family and I hope I’ll be able to prove something actually.”

For all of Sweden’s generosity, it is now “grappling with communities of disaffected migrants who can’t find jobs and have few prospects.”  The image of country was shattered three years ago when riots broke out in the Stockholm suburb of Husby.

There are now fifty-five declared “no-go zones” in Sweden, but police have to escort ambulances to ensure their safety.

As the 60 Minutes crew found out, the temperature is similar in the suburb of Rinkeby, home to mostly Somali migrants.  Within minutes of us arriving, a group of young men make it clear we’re not wanted and deliberately run down our camera man.

“It’s a little more hostile than I anticipated,” the host stated to the Swede, Hans.  He replied, “Okay, welcome to Rinkeby, it’s also called little Mogadishu.”

“Is that what you’re worried about the future of Sweden?”

“Yes, yes, of course. Now one of your film crew members was run over by a car here and it took us one-half minute.  They didn’t have a reason to do it.”

The crew calls the police and explain that they had not anticipated such intense aggression.  Even the police feel their presence will be provocative.

“The majority who have come into Sweden are Muslims from East Africa and they don’t assimilate well into the school’s cultures, society and their unemployment and they’re poor, so you add all these factors together, and their youth feel marginalized and don’t speak Swedish very well, so they don’t get jobs or get into the Swedish youth culture,”shared Hans.

“But not everyone is hostile.  Many locals are polite and friendly and happy to talk.”

As the police leave, everything changes, young men, masking their faces arrive and attack.

The host tells the aggressive men that they are leaving and there is no need to be unkind.  A local intervene by driving is mobility scooter into the most violent attacker.

“The sound man, the producer have been punched and the cameraman was run over.  We’ve all been assaulted and insulted. It’s best we leave.”

For refugees who are playing by cultural rules and desire to give back to his adopted society, the “hostility and the changing mood in his adopted country make him uneasy about his future.

He is asked, “There is a part of you that’s fearful that you’ll be turned back.”

“Yea, of course you always have doubts, we are human being, we always have doubt.”
