    Racism and xenophobia must be fought with humanity

    The racist crime on Thursday 22nd October at Corona School in “Troll Htan” that killed and injured four innocent people has shocked all of us in Sweden, however, this tragedy did not happen under a cloudless sky.

    In recent days a number of camps that were supposed to be for resettled refugees recently arrived in Sweden went up in flames. The fires were deliberately started with a racist motive. In addition, volunteers who assist asylum seekers in Stockholm have been targeted and threatened by Nazi groups and on Social Media racist people have been engaged in hatred against refugees.

    At the same time, the racist party, the Swedish Democrats has spread anti-immigration sentiment in the media against the people who most need our help. The Swedish Democrats held a press conference shamelessly causing more racist violence.

    In addition this party ridiculously published the locations of future refugee camps in southern Sweden.

    The intensification of racist behavior creates an atmosphere of hate, which is one of the great dangers that now threaten Swedish society. This danger is a serious threat that we have to be aware of, once aware of this threat we can contain it.

    Regarding this, we can make a few points. Swedish Citizens show humanity to new refugees and find ways to help them in any way they can. Help comes from the young, the old, women and men who all show human solidarity to the refugees.Despite, the government’s, racist’s and Nazi’s violent conflict against refugees, we are concerned about the fate of other people and we take them in our arms. This show of humanity must continue.In this difficult situation honorable people must support each other. It does not matter where we come from, we are all human. Humanity is the answer to this difficulty.

    The deafening propaganda of the Swedish Democrats argues that the Welfare service is deteriorating due to the numbers of refugees. The real motive is to cause division in society.If Swedish Society changes negatively it is not due to asylum seekers. The responsibility for these negative changes come from the politicians in power 20 years ago who wanted austerity. They attacked workers and people’s benefits, the NHS, schools, pensioners, the sick and the elderly all suffered. The policy had one goal; to save the capatalists. This policy increases inequality and class division and is responsible for the rise in racism. Racists argue that foreign people are the cause of the inequality, they wish to cover up the real reason. They want to create conflict between the Swedish and non-Swedish.  Who benefits from this situation? The same people who don’t want to take responsibility for people’s lives and jobs are the same people who should take responsibility for people’s lives and jobs. Of course, people who have lost their jobs both Swedish and non-Swedish understand the reasons why they lost their jobs and stand together against the reasons for their loss.

    Advertising deafening Sweden Democrats to improve the welfare of the refugees is only true for certain racial and ethnic hatred. Swedish society is negative if changes are not due to the presence of refugees. This responsibility should be left to the parties in the last twenty years in power have alternately as saving the achievements of the welfare of the workers and the people have attacked Sweden. Reduce unemployment, deteriorating schools and health care, worsening conditions of the elderly, pensioners and the sick, etc. The result is a policy that aims to rescue the capitalist profits and not improve the welfare of the people. The main policies and growing inequalities and deepening class divide in society have contributed to the growth of racism. With the introduction of “foreigners” as a cause of problems, people are trying to cover the main causes of social instability and hostility and hatred instead of “Swedish” and “non-Swedish” stir. For those who will not benefit from this divide, it is their responsibility not to accept worse working conditions and lives of people. Or who laid the “Swedish” or “foreign” both know who he is and the unemployment factor both in the fight against unemployment with each other.The country’s current political arena must deal firmly with the racist Sweden Democrats. Sweden has a resettlement policy should not give the necessary human and pressure were racist. In order to solve the actual limits of refugees or they can be different solutions be found to address the situation. Today is an emergency situation and immediate and special needs solutions. It is important that the cold that comes first and where to resettle refugees have been accepted in Sweden.

    Have patience and wait for all the hard conditions that cause migration of millions of people is an safe and war situation, the role of Islamic states and Western governments and the Russian government have explained that underlie these conditions and atmosphere sympathy and solidarity of seated hatred. Should not allow external forces with anti-racist public opinion is influenced by their

    It is necessary that institutions and non-governmental organizations hold several meetings in schools and universities as well as tables of information and the media in this country and greater use of social media have come to the field widely to deal with racist provocations of deal with the nationalist. Widespread and active involvement of people is the best way to deal with racism and racial discrimination.

    Finally, we consider the fight against racism in the struggle to improve the conditions of human life, defend the gains of long-Swedish society and also to deal with the deterioration of health services, welfare and job security in society is inseparable. To seriously deal with racist parties like the Sweden Democrats party we need to adopt policies that can bring security and prosperity to the lives of citizens.
