Sweden to Deport 106-Year-Old Afghan Refugee
[VOA News] A 106-year-old woman thought to be the world's oldest refugee is set to be deported after being denied asylum in Sweden.Bibihal Uzbeki's son and grandson carried her on their backs as they fled from Kunduz in northeastern Afghanistan via Iran and ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... in the hopes of finding haven in Europe. Their journey made headlines in 2015, when they were part of a huge influx of people who came to Europe ...also known as Moslem Lebensraum... from Syria, Afghanistan, Iraq and other countries. They traveled by foot and on trains through the Balkans before reaching Sweden. Two years later, she and her 11 family members are living in the small village of Hova, in central Sweden. Her family says Uzbeki has suffered a stroke since her application was rejected. They say traveling back to Afghanistan is out of the question for the bed-bound centenarian who is unable to see, speak or walk. Posted by: Fred 2017-09-05 |
