Sweden's Little Mogadishu (Follow up)

Hat tip Fria Tider


Tjärna Ängar (Dalarna)


Recently we reported on the dilemma of foreign students at Sweden's Dalarna University who were placed in student dormitories in a dangerous part of the city, largely inhabited by Somalis. It seems a visit by the country's socialist prime minister has not alleviated the problem. The below article by Fria Tider is translated by Fousesquawk.

Three days after Löfven's visit  to Tjärna Ängar - Robbery at knifepoint of large sum of money

Published 24 October 2020 at 3pm

Domestic: A 25-year-old man was robbed at knifepoint in the immigrant-dense (area) of Tjärna Ängar  in  Borlänge, also called "Little Mogadishu". Under the threat of a knife, the man was forced to withdraw a large sum of money.

It was on Wednesday that Prime Minister Stefan Löfven visited the Somali ghetto, Tjärna Ängar, in  Borlänge, which is characterized by crime and great insecurity.

His visit came after international students who were placed in student apartments in the ghetto became so frightened that they wanted to move to the center of  Borlänge.

Löfven stated that "many are proud to live here," according to Aftonbladet.

But (late Friday-Saturday) night, another serious crime occurred in the area.

About 5 am, police were alerted that a 25-year-old man was subjected to a robbery outside a boutique in Tjärna Ängar.

"Two men, unknown to  (the victim), approached him, threatened him with something that was perceived to be a knife and forced him to withdraw a large sum of money in an ATM. The men then left the scene," police write on their web site. 

The incident is being classified as a robbery. There are no suspects.
