Iraqi-born Amin says he has returned home to safety after being subjected to repeated threats, violence, and extortion by an organized gang in Stockholm.
A former restaurant owner who fled to Sweden from war-torn Iraq in 2003, has decided to leave the country, citing safety concerns due to escalating gang violence.
After more than two decades in Sweden, Amin returned to his home country, describing the move as one of the best decisions he’s ever made.
In an interview with Dagens Nyheter, Amin shared his experience of running a business in Sweden for years before gang activity in his neighborhood forced him to leave.
“I forgot about those times! Now I live like a king! I am developing, I feel good. It is much safer in Iraq than in Sweden,” he said, reflecting on his new life back home.
