REVEALED:
How 'totally unprecedented' migrant crisis is pushing Sweden to breaking point
SWEDEN has been pushed to breaking
point as it struggles to deal with increasing migrant violence and a
"totally unprecedented" influx of refugees. By LIZZIE STROMME 2/17/16
Has Sweden’s warm welcome of
migrants now backfired? Sweden is absorbing the vast
majority of the migrants coming to Europe to seek asylum and the country is now
in turmoil.
Violence and crime has swept the nation with police declaring they now have entire areas which are ‘no-go’ zones. In 2015 alone Sweden, with a population of 9.5million, received over 160 000 asylum applications and the country is expected to take as many as 190,000 refugees, or two per cent of the population, in 2016.
Since the Second World War Sweden
has prided itself on helping migrants who cross their borders despite some
moves to the political right in recent years. But now the once welcoming country has turned into a battle ground where Swedes
are afraid to go outside and police are openly attacked by migrants. In a
secret report by Sweden's National Criminal Investigation Service attacks on
officers are detailed including police cars being stoned by masked groups.
Some 52 areas have been put on a "blacklist" with some areas being so lawless two cars are sent to every call out. The report said children aged 12 carry weapons for older criminals and 70 cars and buildings were set on fire in an arson spate last year.
On February 6 Express.co.uk revealed a map with nearly 20 sex attacks that happened in January alone. The situation at the moment is totally unprecedented The incidents involve young boys and girls, as well as adults being held down, groped, flashed, raped and claimed as a migrant’s property.
As Europe saw the highest number asylum seekers since the Second World War last year, the unprecedented number has greatly challenged the resources and social structures in Sweden.
Sweden is apart of the Schengen zone but after a historic autumn resulting in many political changes in Sweden and the EU the country has for the first time in recent history implemented border control to its fellow Scandinavian countries.
In November, Anders Danielsson, the Director-General of the Migration Agency in Sweden said: “More people than ever are seeking asylum in Europe and in Sweden, and the situation at the moment is totally unprecedented.”

In January 22-year-old
Alexandra Mezher was knifed to death at a reception centre in Mölndal According to the UNHCR one million people will make their
way to Europe in 2016 and the Migration Agency stated “it is hardly possible to
talk about a forecast any longer”.
Early on in 2015 as many as 4,000–5,000 asylum seekers came to Sweden each month with a dramatic increase to 39,196 in October.
The unparalleled growth caught Sweden’s public sector off guard with officials demanding the Government grants them more resources to absorb the impact.
National Police Commissioner Dan Eliasson has even declared his officers did not have the resources to halt the growing migrant violence and attacks.

Sweden has implemented border
control to its fellow Scandinavian countries In
January Swedish police had to flee after being surrounded by an angry mob of
migrants when they went to rescue a 10-year-old boy, who had allegedly been
raped.
An alarmed officer revealed he was mentally prepared to fight for his life as the migrants closed in on him and his team.
The number of reported incidents at Swedish asylum centres has increased drastically from 148 in 2014 to 322 in 2015.

The number of reported incidents at Swedish asylum centres has increased drastically from 148 in 2014 to 322 in 2015.
According to a national progress report, the increased violence is due to
overcrowding, low standard of living, mental illness and insecurity about the
future.The report said: "Police do not have the resources to handle all
the disturbances at reception centres."
As officers struggle with the situation, migrant violence has drastically increased as two people have been killed at refugee centres in Sweden.

In January 22-year-old Alexandra
Mezher was knifed to death at a reception centre in Mölndal, near Gothenburg. Ms Mezher died in hospital from the injuries inflicted on her after she
intervened in a fight at the youth asylum centre where she was working. A
second person was killed on the weekend after a fight broke out among residents
at another reception centre.
Fury swept the nation after Ms Mezher’s death and further anger festered as Mr Eliasson went on a morning talk show and showed sympathy for the migrant accused of murdering the 22-year-old. The discontent was so severe Police inspector Anders Karlsson slammed the chief for his behaviour and called for his resignation for failing Swedish citizens and officers.
Inspector Karlsson was hailed throughout Sweden for his unforgiving criticism of the Commissioner and his police station has been showered with tokens of appreciation since.

In a pamphlet the mob declared: “All
over the country, reports are pouring in that the police can no longer cope
with preventing and investigating the crimes which strike the Swedish people.
“In some cases, for example, in the latest murder of a woman employed at a home for so called ‘unaccompanied minor refugees’ in Molndal, it goes as far as the National Police Commissioner choosing to show more sympathy for the perpetrator than the victim.
“But we refuse to accept the repeated assaults and harassment against Swedish women. “We refuse to accept the destruction of our once safe society.”

In November a poll found that 41 per
cent of Swedes, compared to 29 per cent in September, thought the country was
taking too many refugees. Already in August anti-immigrant party, the Sweden
Democrats became Sweden's most popular political party, according to a YouGov
poll.
The far-right party had the support of 25.2 per cent of voters and at the time
a party MP said: “There’s too much immigration and too many beggars from
eastern Europe.
“People are starting to realise that this is a serious problem for Sweden.” Sweden’s Interior Minister Anders Ygeman has said he is now prepared to expel 80,000 migrants who do not have the right to protection to calm the growing discontent, however it would appear to be too little too late.
The question plaguing Swedish citizens now is how they will integrate 150,000 refugees from very different cultures without leaving their on culture in complete ruins.
