Massoud Mosavi is a bright and funny little kid, although these days he is in grim humor. He speaks English well enough that he was able to be interviewed without an interpreter even though he is only 7 — and an Afghan for whom English is his second language.
His first language is Norwegian. He does speak his parents’ tongue, Dari, as well, but so poorly that he does not even know what it is called. He refers to it as “the Afghanistan language.” Even when speaking with his parents — his father, Sayed Youssef, and mother, Saeqa — he prefers Norwegian.
Massoud and his family had spent the last four and a half years in Norway. On Friday, Aug. 12, without any warning, the Norwegian police came into their house at 2:30 a.m.; handcuffed Massoud’s parents and his older brother, Javed, 17; and took them all to a detention center.
In less than 24 hours, before they could contact a lawyer, they were put on commercial flights back to Afghanistan, accompanied by an 11-person, unarmed Norwegian police contingent who surrounded them the whole trip to make sure they did not try to abscond.
“They even made us leave the toilet door open when we used it on the plane,” Javed said.
Once in Kabul, they were given $1,200 each by the Norwegian government, and two weeks of free accommodation in a guesthouse. Norway’s payments to returning refugees are among the world’s most generous, even if its deportation policy is now among the world’s most harsh.
>“The right to international protection does not apply for persons who can find safety at another location within their own country,” Mr. Skaaret at the Norwegian Embassy said, responding to emailed queries after embassy officials declined to be interviewed in person.
Is there another more based country on the planet right now?

The parents? Definitely. They made the choice to come into the country illegally and have children.
The children? No, they're innocent, and had no choice in the matter.
I truly feel for children that are born to parents like that, and they should be allowed to stay in the country. Fuck those parents for risking their children's security like that.
Matthew Hall
this is NOT okay, you disgusting Nords will get whats coming to you if you don't accept every African family into your country and support them
Norway does NOT belong to white people only, it belongs to everyone.
Asher Williams
I get a very baby Jesus aura fell off this picture, I just want to give her a hug.
Austin Powell
Did you even read?
The kid was 7. They've leeched here for 4.5 years.
They had the kid before they got in. Minority deport please. How can you live under Trump presidency and not claim that illegals should be deported. You sicken me.
Henry Turner
>and they should be allowed to stay in the country.
no, all of them must go
Isaiah Hall
>Once in Kabul, they were given $1,200 each by the Norwegian government that's like 100 years wages for them and they still complain
Also, what kind of shit parent doesn't teach his son the name of the language he speaks?! fucking useless
Ryder Wilson
What the fuck was the kid supposed to do? Tell his mom and dad "No I don't want to live in Norway" when he was 3 fucking years old?
Christopher Phillips
Well, you've got a point. However it also wouldn't be ethical to separate parents from their kids either. As long as they're 10-15 or so, they're still young enough to learn the language and adapt to the culture.
My father is Rhodesian, and came to this country when he was 15. He still managed to learn Chinese and married a Chinese.
Anyway in this case, it's all or nothing. They have to go back.

Asher Brown
You think they should just separate the family and institutionalize the children? That's worse for both parties and far more expensive.
Wyatt Jenkins
>An american newspaper shaming Norway for not taking in refugees from a country that was invaded by america
>Once in Kabul, they were given $1,200 each by the Norwegian government, and two weeks of free accommodation in a guesthouse.
Hey, that's fucking nice!
Gabriel Howard
they should not have delusions, once things change overhere we have our case or coffin policy, which is part of international law.
Colton Ward
Hipp hipp!
Henry Davis
Adapting to Afghan culture, I mean. It's late and I've gotten punchy.
Anyway, I know Afghans here who come home to see the family every year during the long holiday, so it really can't be that dangerous. Norway is totally right in doing this.
Alexander Long
who the fuck cares faggot. did you think the world was fair?
Daniel Martinez
No. But no fucking way that it's Norway's (or any countries) job to immediatly adopt a child if the illegal parents manage do dump it within the borders..
Norge for nordmenn.
Hudson Fisher
>I truly feel for children that are born to parents like that, and they should be allowed to stay in the country. Fuck those parents for risking their children's security like that.
i'm not necessarily for deportation but splitting up a family like that is awful
Ian Roberts
C-c-can I come over
Michael Campbell
I wish. Being a climate refugee or a poverty "refugee" will be a thing in the future though.
Bentley Smith
What was Norway supposed to do? They have no legal basis to stay. Are they supposed to ignore the law whenever it suits your feelings?
Leo King
holy shit scandis have balls after all
Nolan Sullivan
But the EU won't, and anyway you're not even a part of it.
Ayden Peterson
I genuinely feel bad for the people in situations like this but the blame lies with those who let them into the country in the first place.
Lucas Bell
>No, they're innocent, and had no choice in the matter. That applies to all children, children of migrants are not special.
Christopher Kelly
What? Do you mean that the EU will have a case or coffin policy?
I dont see EU ever having the balls to do that.
Kayden James
Pointing out the obvious....
Landon White
BYE BYE LITTLE BOY
Work hard and get smart and maybe you can come back! LEGALLY
Jack King
we will see, no ideology lasts forever, the error of ideologues is to think their particular ideology is the final one.
Samuel Rogers
>Being a climate refugee or a poverty "refugee" will be a thing in the future though. >will be a thing in the future Hope that clears it up. >What? Do you mean that the EU will have a case or coffin policy? The former constituents will.
Noah Martin
Norway YES!!!
Luis Powell
Fuck you, traitor.
Jaxson Miller
Heartbreaking story. You will always be welcome here, Massoud Mosavi.
:-)
William Adams
And who will that be?
If France starts backing out of the EU, it will mean the end of the EU.
Joshua Rodriguez
so you'd let bear and wolf cubs go because they are cute an innocent? if we let niggerbabies stay they'll resent norway for shipping their family off and become american gangster wannabes.
Jordan Allen
They reached too far and pushed too hard. They've already lost Britain. The EU is done. If they weren't so disconnected from the people they wouldn't have the balls to keep this up. But they are, so it's doomed.
Adam Taylor
So please humour me, Norway-bro. What is the popular sentiment on this issue? Do people feel like what the government is doing is right?
Isaiah Sanchez
Does he speak bokmål or nynorsk?
Christian Reed
Troligtvis negernorsk
Jackson Rogers
Kek smiles upon thee based Norway. Your ways are the blueprint for the hot new global sensation: The Minority Deport, coming soon to a nation near you.
Kevin Hill
fucking brilliant
Noah Collins
What does this moonspeak mean?
Colton Phillips
Serious question here..
With the EU on the ropes, soon to be disbanded, is the United Nations next? Trump is on record saying the UN and NATO are both obsolete and "not a friend of democracy".
What is the protocol for leaving either?
Easton Turner
WTF I tolerate taharrush now!
David Flores
>is the United Nations next? We all hope so.
There is literally no reason for this leftist, worthless organisation to exist.
The UN building should turn into the new Trump Tower.
Nathaniel Young
they pay deportees?
???
Nathan White
>He speaks English well enough
Thats great but hes being deported from Norway, not England.
Too bad, he just has shitty parents for bringing him somewhere he shouldn't be.
Isaac Howard
wtf norway?????????????????? norwegians should be deported to the north pole and replaced by africans #norwayisafrica
Colton King
>afghanistan >african

Cameron Rivera
most people probably think its wrong. i know some people think deportation under any circumstances are unacceptable.
James Davis
>i know some people think deportation under any circumstances are unacceptable. Why though? I can't picture the mental gymnastics which would be required for this mindset. Some people just have to go back.
