Finland’s Persecution of African Dissidents Betrays its Top Freedom Ranking



Freedom House ranks Finland as the world’s freest country. It is one reason why Finland has become the destination of choice not only for Ukrainians but also for dissidents from farther abroad seeking asylum from the world’s worst dictators in Turkey, Iran, and the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Traditionally the Finnish government does immigration right. It publishes strict protocols and holds applicants accountable, rejecting those who approach immigration officers with false or exaggerated claims.

If only the Finnish judiciary were as diligent. In two recent cases, Finland’s judiciary and perhaps its foreign ministry and politicians have allowed scammers and human rights abusers to weaponize its judiciary as a mechanism for transnational repression and harassment.

Consider the case of Gibril Massaquoi, for example. A former Sierra Leone civil war-era commander, Massaquoi became an important resource for the Special Court for Sierra Leone as it prosecuted war crimes in the West African state. His efforts directly led to several convictions. As the court wound down, Massaquoi sought asylum in Finland. The controversial Swiss NGO Civitas Maxima raised funds as it targeted Massaquoi, leading Finland to arrest him. The problem? Civitas Maxima’s own witnesses acknowledged Civitas Maxima paid witnesses to say they personally saw Massaquoi commit a number of crimes in Liberia. The problem? At the time Massaquoi was under 24/7 guard in Sierra Leone and could not possibly have been guilty. Ultimately, a Finnish court dismissed the case against Massaquoi, but the damage was done: As profiteers and civil war rivals sought revenge, they forced an asylum seeker who had done the right thing into a multi-million dollar process, hijacking the Finnish judiciary for lawfare. To Finland’s credit, they compensated Massaquoi nearly a half million dollars for the harassment he suffered due to the malicious prosecution.

As troubling is the case of Simon Ekpa, the prime minister-in-exile of Biafra. Between 1967 and 1970, Biafra, chafing under Nigeria’s religious and ethnic discrimination, sought to secede. The Nigerian military response was brutal. The Nigerian Army killed up to 100,000 Biafrans outright, and then millions more died due to its land and sea blockade. Rather than be generous in victory, Nigerian leaders continued their repression. Under the rule of Muhammadu Buhari, Nigeria’s president between 1983 and 1985 and again from 2015 and 2023, Nigerian repression grew against ethnic Igbo in Biafra and Nigerian Christians more broadly.


It was against this context that Simon Ekpa, a prominent human rights activist, organized a referendum for Biafra. Tens of millions of Biafrans reportedly voted and overwhelmingly choose independence. Ekpa planned a convention in the coming week for the Declaration of the Restoration of Independence of Biafra. For Biafra to declare independence in Finland may seem strange, but it is not disqualifying. After all, Czechoslovakia’s declaration of independence took place in Washington, DC.

Fortunately, the Czechs never had to worry about Finnish police. In March 2024, as momentum for Biafran independence grew, the Nigerians charged Ekpa and dozens of other activists with terrorism. Last week, the Finns arrested Ekpa despite the spuriousness of Nigerian charges. As Biafrans seek freedom in response to Nigerian repression, it is ironic that the Finns response is to facilitate more repression. Otto Hiltunen, the head of Finnish National Bureau of Investigation, was unapologetic. He accused Ekpa of inciting “violence against civilians and public authorities and in other crimes in south-east Nigeria” by “campaigning, for example, on his social media channels.” What next? Arresting Uyghurs for exposing their abuses at the hands of the Chinese Communist Party? Eritreans who escaped the slavery of the Isaias Afwerki’s regime?

Finland coasts on its reputation of liberalism, human rights, and freedom. When it comes to Africans escaping repression at home, alas, it is a reputation the country no longer deserves.

A renowned Prophet In Yola, Adamawa has cautioned Potable, mandating home to reach out to the pastor he slapped and apologize within 24 hours.

"...I give you 24 hours to go and apologize to that pastor you slapped. You now I know you very well"

Let's keep hour hands crossed. I'm sure if the situation gets tougher, he'll use his pen

In no distant time, the former president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Olusegun Obasanjo GCFR, may soon write an Open letter to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. In his usual manner, the former president has always written open letters to all the Presidents after him, apart from the late Yaradua. In a bid to draw the attention of the presidency to the current happenings in the country, the elder statesman who is known for being fearless has always written open letters, openly calling out the flaws of the sitting president.

Nevertheless, almost 9 months into the administration of President Tinubu, he is yet to write a letter to him. Questions have arisen such as; could it be that he is scared of a backslash from his ethnic group as they both share same tribe? Or is he still monitoring and evaluating what is happening in the nation?


... These news editors de try o...
Pls someone should help me continue this news as e suppose be

Na waooo! This one is within the town fa! People are late for Sunday service and they are stopping them.

But I have NEVER seen them do this on Friday in the afternoon! What kind of intimidation is this?

Does this happen in other states or it's just in Adamawa state?

What's the meaning of this rubbish? Every Sunday morning, Road safety corp officers will block roads along Yola South LGA and probably other parts of town. This happens virtually every Sunday morning when worshipers are going to church.

Do they do this on Friday Afternoon when our Muslim Faithfuls are going to the mosques for prayers?

We'll get there inshallah

When will Nigerian youths arise and say "enough is enough"?

We keep campaigning for these crim*nals directly or indirectly while they eat the gains of our collective efforts.

REVOLUTION would have been the answer.

But unfortunately, that time may never come because of religion and ethnicity. "I can't talk because it's my tribal man that is there".

Until we arise in our minds, let the "suffering" continue

iSense247:
How do you self defend from Government-sponsored terrorists using RPG and AK47? Please enlighten us.

In law, if you take the life of a person about to take your life with *******, even if arrested, you'll be discharged. This is common law.

Self defense is your right and it's my right. Southern Kaduna Christians, WAKE UP and defend yourself

Muslim star Mohamed Salah releases photos celebrating Christmas with his family.

Tis the season to be jolly, especially in the Salah household as Egyptian forward Mohamed releases the 2022 installment of his annual Christmas family photo.

The Liverpool ace who is a devout Muslim continues to celebrate Christmas which is a Christian holiday, celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ.

In the picture shared on his social media pages with the caption #MerryChristmas, Salah can be seen sitting in front of the Christmas tree, posing with his wife and two daughters, all wearing matching pajama pants.

The 30-year-old displays courage and defiance by posting his annual Christmas family photo after the outrage and criticism that followed the 2021 version.

The Liverpool forward posted pictures of himself and his family dressed in matching festive-themed onesies, posing in front of a large Christmas tree on Christmas eve as is his tradition.

However, this seemingly innocent act appeared to anger Muslim fans who took to social media to express their discontent at the Egyptian's celebration of Christmas.

Salah has posted a family Christmas photo in each of the last three Christmas eve and has received backlash on each occasion which led many to believe he would not do so this year.

But it seems Salah has not allowed the words of his detractors stop him from publicly enjoying the festive season with his family.

While there was a lot of backlash on his celebration of Christmas, Mohamed Salah also had a number of supporters who leaped to his defence.

Some said that, for many people, Christmas was now a cultural holiday rather than a religious one.

They said people of various faiths wear Santa hats and watch Christmas-themed films during the festive period, which is perhaps Salah's reason for celebrating the holidays.

Everyone has to wake up before it's too late

2 minutes read:

Do you know that if Tinubu (APC/MUSLIM/SOUTH) wins in 2023, he has the constitutional right to remain in office until 2031? (That would make it a 16 year rule of Islam with a few christians at the FEC just as it is in this administration) Then, power has to shift to the North in 2031. And of course it's going to be a MUSLIM candidate that would be picked irrespective of the party? (if there's no qualified christian to be a VP now, there can't be one for the president then) That person will rule Nigeria for another 8 years.

That would be a complete 24 years of single religion at the presidency. Couldn't this have created room for an Islamic agenda by extremist?

Is Nigeria no more a multi religious country?

ARE CHRISTIANS SO MYOPIC that their sense of reasoning is removed with a little change?
Christians, YOU'RE JOKING!!

By the time this agenda is completed, there could be a repeat of TURKEY in a multicultural system like Nigeria.
