Hundreds match in Forserum in support of Somalis as some authorities see racism a factor chasing the Somalis out of town 

Friday, 24 August 2012
Just as the Norwegian mass murderer, Anders Behring Breivik was being led to his permanent prison cell home for the next 21 years, at least, for his racist costly job, about 500 people came on to the town of Forserum on Friday evening to show their support for Somalis in the community.

They match through the town to let the other troublesome Swedes know that the town  is not as backward in their view of other people as they are.

Yesterday we reported that some 60 Somali residents in the town of Forserum were on their way to leave the town because some youths have made it their jobs to make the Somalis have a very tough stay in the town.

As the Somalis have boycotted every thing including not letting their children attend school, the police and the Mayor have become embarrassed at the seriousness of the situation. One of the Somali said sorrowfully that they escape war in Somalia to come and live in a civilised  and supposedly liberal Sweden,  but their lives have been made hell. So they would prefer to move to another place.

Out of the previous 190 Somalis who lived in the town, about 95 had left just because their lives have been made hell.

One of those who matched with the 500 hundred was the Mayor of Nassjo, Bo Zander, Social Democrats. He tells Swedish television that that he is sure the who situation smell racist and that it is a motive behind the attach on the Somalis. His colleague, Anders Karlsson of the Conservatives said earlier this week that it is not certain that the taunting of the Somalis had anything to do with racism.

Around 300 people had gathered outside Rosenholm School and then march with torches down to the square.

"If you look at the overall picture, you can not deny that there are racist elements," says Bo Zander, a Social Democrat and chairman of the municipal council of Nassjo, as he join the torchlight procession organized by the community association in Forserum in support of the Somalis in the village who have been abused by a gang of youths.
