134: The number of bomb attacks in peaceful Sweden in 2023
Sweden is literally a country at war, except that the problem is not an invading army with uniforms and tanks, but a horde now installed in the country.
There have been 134 bomb attacks in Sweden so far this year, compared to 90 in the whole of 2022. At the same time, the number of shootings remains very high compared to other European states: 289 so far this year and 391 in 2022, in a country of 10 million people. As if in Italy we had 2400 shootings and 1000 bomb attacks a year.
Fighting this war with the sound of bombs are gangs of organized criminals, made up of immigrants or children of immigrants, who attack the homes of members of the opposing clan or their families, unleashing waves of bombs that involve entire neighborhoods and lead to the destruction of homes. , and lives, innocent.
What began as an internal conflict between rival drug gangs spiraled into revenge attacks as gang members – often frustrated in their attempts to kill each other – began bombing each other's families' homes.
These family members – parents, siblings, cousins – live across Stockholm and the central-eastern region of Sweden, giving the attacks a seemingly random feel.
For example, a bomb exploded in the Stockholm suburb of Hässelby Villastad on a weeknight last week, destroying a row of wooden houses.
A few hours after the attack on the Hässelby apartment building, a bomb tore apart the facade of an apartment in Linköping, a town 200 km to the south.
Days later, a 25-year-old woman was killed in Uppsala, 70 km north of the Swedish capital, by a bomb planted in front of the wrong house.
Now the average is one attack every two days. How long can a country go without reacting?
Last week, a young man was shot dead near a soccer field in southern Stockholm while dozens of children were training. A coach sent about 60 children fleeing to a far corner of the field so they wouldn't be hit by stray bullets. There were no immediate reports of arrests in the case.
A right-wing government, but an impotent one
Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson gave a rare "address to the nation" broadcast live on national television on Thursday evening, apparently aiming to show that he is taking an interest in the case. The head of government has even considered asking for the army's intervention , but it appears clear that he is unable to control the situation,
Europe's right-wing governments, often elected on the promise of restoring law and order, often appear bound by legal ties and snares that appear insurmountable. Among other things, Sweden must explain its specific inability to prevent unrest because in no Nordic country has immigration had such a destabilizing evolution as in this country.
Among other things, the government has yet to bring to justice the leader of Sweden's largest gang, Rawa Majid, who continues to operate apparently with impunity from Turkey. With which Stockholm must negotiate accession to NATO.
