Sweden said on Thursday that it plans to give priority to refugees from Somalia and Eritrea to resettle about 1700 to 1900 United Nations (UN) refugees this year, according to a report from the Swedish Radio.
“Eritrean refuges in Sudan and Libya, who are fleeing the totalitarian regime in Eritrea, need the international community to make a contribution and do their part,” Dan Eliasson, head of the Swedish Migration Agency told Swedish Radio.
Sweden gave priority to refugees from Iraq and its surrounding areas last year. The shift will result in roughly 600 fewer Iraqi refugees coming to Sweden in 2010 said the report from Local.
Meanwhile, about 850 refugees will be transferred to Sweden from camps in Kenya, Sudan, and Libya.
The Swedish Riksdag (parliament) allocates funding for the Migration Board to bring about 1,700 and 1,900 refugees to Sweden under the UN’s quota program every year.
At present, Sweden is one of the 19 countries which accept quota refugees on an annual basis.

Somalia: Somaliland TV Director denounces Press Now and NUSOJ
The Director General of Somaliland National TV in the breakaway state of Somaliland in the north of the Somali Map honorable Mohammed Musse Diriye, who is also a vivid member of a certain Union of Journalists in Somaliland has strappingly called null and void to the outcome a recent seminar for Somali Journalists which was held in the Kenyan capital Nairobi.
The seminar was jointly conducted by Press Now and NUSOJ and it was attended by several Somali journalists from all edges in the country.
“It is not something which a healthy common sense can absorb that Press Now and National Union of Somali Journalists (NUSOJ) to come up with their own concept, and select Journalists from Somaliland and lure them to Nairobi to something of their own interest, and fill up their brains with something of their own whishes, Somaliland is an independent nation with law and order it would have been much better for the two bodies to contact the authority of Somaliland particularly with the Ministry of Information, but very unfortunately this has not happened, and so thus we are not supporting the whatever the outcome of the seminar was, and as well as whatever Mustaf Shiino the option man of the two bodies has brought back to Somaliland” said Mohammed Musse Diriye the Director General of Somaliland National TV giving an interview to Somaliland National TV on Friday night.
On the 25th of November 2009 NUSOJ has merely invited Somali Journalists particularly radio directors from a cross the country, but due to some irregularities done by some irresponsible members in NUSOJ in Mogadishu there were some radio stations who have sent two members from their stations.
The General Secretary of NUSOJ Omar Faruk has nothing to do with the act of biases done by some individuals whom he has trusted in Mogadishu as his representatives on the ground. Somaliweyn English News Desk.
