The Netherlands is currently abducted by a disgusting debate on the future of a teenager. Not a normal teenager, but an Angolan teenager who’s classified by law as an adult. In any other situation, life, or with any other ‘approved’ by the West passport, he would have celebrated his entrance to adulthood with his friends in his favorite pub in ‘backwards and serene’ . Unfortunately he’s trapped in the body of an illegal Angolan who’s caught in the web of laws, lawyers, good causes, politicians and media. Apparently a decade of living in the Netherlands, assimilating to degree of inheriting a soft G (characteristic of Limburgers) and adopting the society as his own doesn’t matter in the grand scheme of the Dutch politics. Or let me rephrase, it’s invisible to the programme of the Christian politicians and government. Yet, the question remains. Why is this teenager taken to the unfortunate ordeal of a decade in the Netherlands only to be sent back to a place unknown to him?
It’s disgusting, disappointing and depressing to realize that the media madness is merely about +/- 75 cases. Forget the families who are held in horrible prisons to be kicked out of the country, dismiss the children born in this country who are deported right now. In the past 10 years this country has joined Denmark in an anti-human-rights campaign, which has seen cases of people being deported to burning hells like Somalia or Iraq.
