Yemane Teferi has waited 25 years to be a free man.

For most of that time, he’s been stuck in refugee centers in Norway, whose government says he doesn’t qualify for asylum and should be deported back to East Africa.

His advocates say he is being treated like a criminal in country where even violent offenders are rarely sentenced to more than 21 years in jail and prisoners are sent to islands that have reminded some visiting journalists of vacation spots. But because his home country of Eritrea and Norway do not cooperate on deportations, Teferi might be forced to spend the rest of his life in Norway – without ever being granted asylum. He might never be allowed to have a job, a family or access to full health care services.

“The immigration authorities are legally entitled to expelling him from Norway. However, the problem arises when, as a consequence, he spends most of his life in limbo because deportation is and will never be possible,” said Rune Berglund Steen, the director of Norway's anti-racism center who has advocated for Teferi.

He remains stuck in Norway, where he lives in the western town of Bømlo Sunnhordland and spends his days at the asylum reception center. Although he could legally move around in Norway, the money granted to him is insufficient to pay for transportation. He relies on clothing donations because the budget paid to asylum seekers is based on calculations that assume monthly waiting times, not decades. Meanwhile, the Norwegian government plans to cut the budget even further in the coming months. The camp in Bømlo Sunnhordland itself was never made to host a life-long asylum seeker: The sparsely populated town, with its nearly empty reception center, offers few opportunities to help Teferi to assimilate in a country he has lived in for more than a decade now.

"I have started to lose hope that I will ever be able to walk the streets of Norway freely," he said in a recent phone interview. "I have spent so many years being not allowed to do anything: no work, no family, no privacy. What have I done to be treated like this?"

Teferi’s case is an example of the many things that can go wrong in the asylum process. And while extreme, it highlights the challenges that more asylum seekers and governments could have as hundreds of thousands of people arrived on the continent from not only from war-torn Syria but other countries in the Middle East and Africa too.



The reason Teferi might never be able to call Norway his home country -- although he has spent the last 17 years there as an asylum seeker -- goes back even further. He originally arrived in Sweden about 25 years ago, but later moved to Norway.

"The central issue in Teferi’s case is that he originally gave different asylum explanations to authorities in Sweden and Norway. He also operated under two different identities," Ellen Kveine Evensen of the Norwegian Appeals Board explained in an e-mail to The Washington Post. "Despite numerous requests for reconsideration of his case, the Norwegian Immigration Appeals Board still believes he doesn’t qualify for protection."

Back in 2006, the appeals board decided unanimously that "there were no grounds to reverse earlier decisions to reject his asylum application."

Berglund Steen acknowledged the inconsistencies in the case. "Of course, by the time he came to Scandinavia he had already been living as an unrecognized refugee for many, many years, and he was desperate for a solution," Berglund Steen said. "This is held against him indefinitely. There seems to be no maximum time limit for how long he should suffer in limbo because of this mistake."

"The case is extremely sad. Yemane's life is wasting away for no good purpose. I am afraid that he will spend the rest of his life like this."

Berglund Steen believes that the case is an extreme example for Norway's dealings with refugees. "In a country known for its humanitarian façade, this case is at the other end of the specter. This case marks the bottom. We are willing to waste a man's life for the sake of immigration control," he said.

Oil-rich Norway has become one of Europe's most skeptical nations toward immigration and refugees. As WorldViews reported earlier, it has taken in far fewer refugees than neighboring Sweden, for instance, though the government said Tuesday that it would be willing to take in its share, the AP reported. When Syrian refugees attempted to cross into the country from the Arctic Circle, Norway threatened to charge anyone who supported them on their journey with human trafficking.

Meanwhile, Norwegian authorities are pushing forward with the deportation of one of the few Muslim victims of a terror attack that killed 77 people at a summer camp on the island of Utøya in 2011. Mubarak Haji Ahmed and his older brother Khalid narrowly survived the attack, while another brother was killed.

The family originally came from Djibouti but later lived in Yemen. Khalid and their father had made false statements about their identity when they arrived in Norway and were deported two years ago. But human rights advocates are outraged that Norwegian authorities are in the process of also deporting Mubarak, who was 10 years old when he entered the country with his parents.

Yemane Teferi is facing a similar fate. At the age of 17, he fled Eritrea, where he says he was a courier for the Eritrean Liberation Front -- a guerrilla group and now a rival of the current regime. According to the Norwegian anti-racism center, the country's Immigration Appeals Board did not view that affiliation as a potential threat for Teferi.

Human rights campaigners, however, say that it could endanger his life if he returns to Eritrea. On its Web site, Human Right Watch states that "forced labor during conscription, arbitrary arrests, detentions, and enforced disappearances" are common in Eritrea. "Other abuses include torture, degrading treatment in detention, restrictions on freedoms of expression and movement, and repression of religious freedom," the organization concluded.

"The response from the Immigration Appeals Board is almost Kafkaesque in its lack of understanding of the basics of the political situation in Eritrea. And this is the kind of nonsense answer we received after waiting a very, very long time for a new decision," Berglund Steen said. In its statement, the appeals board did not respond to a specific question about whether the committee had taken into account potential threats Teferi might face in Eritrea.

"I am old now," Teferi said by phone. For years, he has been suffering from severe headaches and depression. "It's impossible for me to go back. But here in Norway, people usually don't speak to me either. Maybe in church, they sometimes do."

Activist Berglund Steen has collected money to take his case to court again. But chances that previous decisions will be overturned are low.

"If he dies like this, he will finally - for the first time - have a plot of ground in Norway where he can stay legally," Berglund Steen said.

Dette flyktning har vært fast i asyl limbo i 25 år Yemane Teferi. (Credit: Tine Poppe) Yemane Teferi har ventet 25 år å være en fri mann. For de fleste av den tiden har han vært fast i asylmottak i Norge, hvis regjeringen sier at han ikke kvalifiserer for asyl og bør bli deportert tilbake til Øst Afrika. Hans talsmenn sier han blir behandlet som en kriminell i landet hvor selv voldelige lovbrytere blir sjelden dømt til mer enn 21 år i fengsel og fangene blir sendt til øyer som har minnet noen besøkende journalister fra ferie flekker. Men fordi hjemlandet Eritrea og Norge ikke samarbeider om deportasjoner, kan Teferi bli tvunget til å tilbringe resten av sitt liv i Norge - uten noen gang å få asyl. Han kan aldri få lov til å ha en jobb, en familie eller tilgang til fulle helsetjenester. "Utlendingsmyndighetene har juridisk rett til å utvise ham fra Norge. Men, problemet oppstår når, som en konsekvens, tilbringer han mesteparten av sitt liv i limbo fordi deportasjon er og vil aldri være mulig ", sier Rune Berglund Steen, direktør for Norge anti-rasisme sentrum som har tatt til orde for Teferi. Han forblir fast i Norge, hvor han bor i den vestlige byen Bømlo Sunnhordland og tilbringer sine dager på asylmottaket. Selv om han kunne lovlig flytte rundt i Norge, pengene gitt til ham er utilstrekkelig til å betale for transport. Han er avhengig av klær donasjoner fordi budsjettet betalt til asylsøkere er basert på beregninger som antar månedlige ventetider, ikke tiår. I mellomtiden planlegger den norske regjeringen til å kutte budsjettet ytterligere i de kommende månedene. Leiren i Bømlo Sunnhordland selv ble aldri gjort å være vert for en livslang asylsøker: The tynt befolket by, med sin nesten tom asylmottak, og tilbyr få muligheter til å hjelpe Teferi å assimilere i et land han har bodd i mer enn et tiår nå. "Jeg har begynt å miste håpet at jeg noensinne vil være i stand til å gå i gatene i Norge fritt," sa han i en fersk telefon intervju. "Jeg har brukt så mange år blir ikke lov til å gjøre noe.? Ingen jobb, ingen familie, Hva har jeg gjort for å bli behandlet som dette ikke noe privatliv" Teferi sak er et eksempel på de mange ting som kan gå galt i asyl behandle. Og mens ekstreme, fremhever det de utfordringene som flere asylsøkere og regjeringer kan ha så hundretusener av mennesker kom på kontinentet fra ikke bare fra krigsherjede Syria, men andre land i Midt-Østen og Afrika også. Grunnen Teferi kanskje aldri kunne kalle Norge sitt hjemland - selv om han har brukt de siste 17 årene er det som asylsøker - går enda lenger tilbake. Han opprinnelig kom i Sverige ca 25 år siden, men flyttet senere til Norge. "Det sentrale spørsmålet i Teferi sak er at han opprinnelig ga ulike asyl forklaringer til myndighetene i Sverige og Norge. Han har også operert under to forskjellige identiteter," Ellen Kveine Evensen av norske Nemnda forklart i en e-post til The Washington Post. "Til tross for mange forespørsler om ny vurdering av sin sak, mener norske Utlendingsnemnda fortsatt han kvalifiserer ikke for beskyttelse." (Credit: Bjørn-Eivind Årtun) (Credit: Bjørn-Eivind Årtun) Tilbake i 2006 besluttet klagenemnd enstemmig at "det var ingen grunn til å reversere tidligere beslutninger om å avvise hans asylsøknad." Berglund Steen erkjent uoverensstemmelser i saken. "Selvfølgelig, da han kom til Skandinavia hadde han allerede vært å leve som et ukjent flyktning for mange, mange år, og han var desperat etter en løsning," Berglund Steen sa. "Dette holdes mot ham på ubestemt tid. Det synes å være noen øvre tidsgrense for hvor lenge han skal lide i limbo på grunn av denne feilen." "Saken er svært trist. Yemane liv er å sløse bort for ingen god hensikt. Jeg er redd at han vil tilbringe resten av sitt liv på denne måten. "Berglund Steen mener at saken er et ekstremt eksempel for Norges kontakt med flyktninger. "I et land som er kjent for sin humanitære fasade, er dette tilfellet i den andre enden av spekteret. Denne saken markerer bunnen. Vi er villige til å kaste bort en manns liv på grunn av innvandringskontroll," sa han. Oljerike Norge har blitt en av Europas mest skeptiske nasjoner mot innvandring og flyktninger. Som verdenssyn rapportert tidligere, har det tatt inn langt færre flyktninger enn nabolandet Sverige, for eksempel, selv om regjeringen sa tirsdag at det ville være villig til å ta i sin del, melder AP. Når syriske flyktninger forsøkte å krysse inn i landet fra Polarsirkelen, Norge truet med å lade alle som støttet dem på deres reise med menneskehandel. I mellomtiden er norske myndigheter presser frem med deportasjonen av en av de få muslimske ofre for en terrorangrep som drepte 77 mennesker på en sommerleir på Utøya i 2011. Mubarak Haji Ahmed og hans eldre bror Khalid snevert overlevde angrepet, mens en annen bror ble drept. Familien kom opprinnelig fra Djibouti men senere levd i Jemen. Khalid og deres far hadde laget falske uttalelser om sin identitet når de kom til Norge og ble deportert for to år siden. Men menneskerettighetsforkjempere er rasende at norske myndigheter er i ferd med også deportere Mubarak, som var 10 år gammel da han kom til landet sammen med sine foreldre. Yemane Teferi står overfor en lignende skjebne. I en alder av 17, flyktet han Eritrea, der han sier at han var en kurer for den eritreiske frigjøringsfront - en geriljagruppe og nå en rival av dagens regime. Ifølge den norske anti-rasisme sentrum, gjorde landets Utlendingsnemnda ikke se at tilhørighet som en potensiell trussel for Teferi. Menneskerettighetsforkjempere, men sier at det kunne true hans liv hvis han returnerer til Eritrea. På sin hjemmeside, Human Right Watch sier at «tvangsarbeid under verneplikten, vilkårlige arrestasjoner, fengsling og forsvinninger" er vanlig i Eritrea. "Andre overgrep inkluderer tortur, nedverdigende behandling i varetekt, restriksjoner på friheten til å uttrykke og bevegelse, og undertrykkelse av religionsfriheten," organisasjonen avsluttet. "Responsen fra Utlendingsnemnda er nesten Kafkaesque i sin mangel på forståelse av det grunnleggende den politiske situasjonen i Eritrea. Og dette er den slags tull svaret vi fikk etter å ha ventet en veldig, veldig lang tid for et nytt vedtak, "Berglund Steen sa. I sin uttalelse, gjorde klagenemnd ikke svare på et konkret spørsmål om hvorvidt komiteen hadde tatt hensyn til potensielle trusler Teferi kan møte i Eritrea. "Jeg er gammel nå," Teferi sa på telefon. I mange år har han vært plaget av hodepine og depresjoner. "Det er umulig for meg å gå tilbake. Men her i Norge, folk vanligvis ikke snakker til meg heller. Kanskje i kirken, de noen ganger gjør." Activist Berglund Steen har samlet inn penger til å ta sin sak til retten igjen. Men sjansene for at tidligere vedtak vil bli veltet er lav. "Hvis han dør som dette, vil han endelig - for første gang - har en tomt på bakken i Norge hvor han kan bo lovlig," Berglund Steen sa.

Dette refugee har vært fast i asylum limbo for 25 år

Yemane Teferi har ventet i 25 år for å bli en fri mann.

For de fleste som tid, han har vært fast i refugee sentre i Norge, som regjeringen sier han ikke kvalifisert for asyl og skal etter hvert deportert tilbake til Øst-Afrika.

Hans talsmenn sier han blir behandlet som en kriminell i landet der selv voldelig overtramp er sjelden dømt til mer enn 21 år i fengsel og fanger sendes til øyer som har minnet om noen besøker journalister av feriesteder.

Han kan aldri bli tillatt å ha en jobb, en familie eller tilgang til full helsetjenester.

"utlendingsmyndighetene er juridisk berettiget til expelling ham fra Norge. Likevel, problemet oppstår når, som en konsekvens,Han tilbringer mesteparten av sitt liv i limbo fordi deportation er og vil aldri bli mulig," sa Rune Berglund Steen, leder av Norges anti-rasisme center som har gått inn for Teferi.

Han fortsatt sitter fast i Norge, der han bor i den vestlige byen Bømlo Sunnhordland og tilbringer sine dager på asyl mottak center.
