I think Al Jazeera should come to Norway and make a documentary on the increasing numbers of afghans, chechens, somalis, eritreans, iraqis, palestinians and many more asylum seekers coming to Norway. Al Jazeera should show it viewers that life in Norway "is not dance on roses". I cry for people who spend all their money to come here and get rejected and leave empty handed. Al Jazeera is able to make such documentary and I can help them cause I`ve been dealing with asylum seekrs for the last 5Yrs |
