SSU's Chairman in Köping Faces Deportation to Iraq

Afnan Agha, the chairman of SSU in Köping, faces deportation to Iraq, highlighting her struggles and dedication to the social democratic cause in Sweden.

Afnan Agha, at just 21 years old, is the chairman of SSU in Köping and is facing deportation to Iraq after living in Sweden for over a decade. Known for her dedication, she is actively campaigning for the Swedish Social Democratic Party (S) and brings significant energy and commitment to her political efforts. Despite her contributions to the local community and her achievements in sports, the threat of deportation looms over her life as she finds herself in a precarious situation that not many in her party are willing to address.

On Valentine’s Day, Afnan was seen campaigning in her party vest, handing out flowers to the townspeople of Köping. The cold did not deter her or the residents, who responded positively to her gestures. She portrays herself as a fighter, someone who enjoys engaging in political discussions and taking on challenges despite facing discrimination in the past, including incidents of hostility from political opponents.

This situation raises significant questions about immigration policies and the support systems available for individuals like Afnan who contribute positively to society yet may face the threat of deportation. With dwindling support from her party members, the article suggests a need for an internal party dialogue about the responsibilities and obligations toward immigrants, particularly when they face harsh realities such as deportation after making their home and life in Sweden.
