Revised:
AN UNNAMED ASSOCIATE OF GANG LEADER RAWA MAJID, KNOWN AS ”RAVEN”, CLAIMS THAT THE BLOODY VIOLENCE IN SWEDEN IS ONLY THE BEGINNING. THE SOURCE, WHO HAS BEEN INVOLVED IN THE CRIMINAL UNDERWORLD FOR SEVERAL YEARS, STATES THAT THE CONFLICT BETWEEN RIVAL GANGS WILL ONLY ESCALATE AND BECOME MORE BRUTAL. HE HAS PERSONALLY WITNESSED THE INCREASE IN VIOLENCE AND IS CONCERNED FOR HIS FAMILY’S SAFETY.
THE CURRENT ESCALATION OF VIOLENCE IS ATTRIBUTED TO A SHOOTING IN TURKEY, TARGETING RAWA MAJID, AND THE DEATH OF ISMAIL ABDO’S MOTHER IN A SHOOTING IN UPPSALA. SINCE THEN, MURDERS, SHOOTINGS, AND BOMBINGS HAVE OCCURRED ON BOTH SIDES. THE SOURCE OF THE ARTICLE CLAIMS TO KNOW RAWA MAJID ON A PERSONAL LEVEL AND DESCRIBES HIM AS A CLOSE FRIEND AND BROTHER. HE BELIEVES THAT MORE PEOPLE WILL DIE AS THE VIOLENCE CONTINUES.
THE ARTICLE ALSO HIGHLIGHTS THE INVOLVEMENT OF CHILDREN IN THE GANG VIOLENCE. THERE ARE CONCERNS THAT CHILDREN AS YOUNG AS 13 ARE BEING RECRUITED BY CRIMINAL NETWORKS. THE SOURCE STATES THAT USING CHILDREN IN CRIMINAL ACTIVITIES IS NOT RIGHT, BUT IT IS NECESSARY. HE DOES NOT BELIEVE THAT CHILDREN WILL BE SPARED IN THE FUTURE, AS BOTH SIDES WILL CONTINUE TO KILL AND BE KILLED.
THE ARTICLE MENTIONS A POTENTIAL ARREST OF RAWA MAJID AT THE BORDER OF IRAN, ALTHOUGH THIS INFORMATION HAS NOT BEEN CONFIRMED BY AUTHORITIES. THE SOURCE DENIES THE ARREST AND REFUSES TO DISCLOSE RAWA MAJID’S WHEREABOUTS.
THE GANG WAR BETWEEN THE FOXTROT NETWORK, LED BY RAWA MAJID, AND THE DALE NETWORK, LED BY MIKAEL TENEZOS, IS CONSIDERED TO BE THE MAIN CAUSE OF THE ONGOING VIOLENCE IN SWEDEN. WHILE THERE WAS A BRIEF LULL IN VIOLENCE EARLIER IN THE YEAR AFTER AN AGREEMENT WAS MADE BETWEEN THE TWO NETWORKS TO SPARE EACH OTHER’S FAMILIES, THE TENSION RESURFACED WITHIN THE FOXTROT NETWORK, RESULTING IN THE CURRENT WAVE OF VIOLENCE.
RAWA MAJID IS CONSIDERED ONE OF SWEDEN’S MOST WANTED CRIMINALS AND HAS BEEN INTERNATIONALLY WANTED SINCE 2020. THE SOURCE ADMITS TO FEELING GUILTY FOR PUTTING HIS FAMILY AT RISK, BUT FEELS POWERLESS TO STOP THE VIOLENCE. HE BELIEVES THAT IT WILL NEVER END UNLESS RAWA MAJID GIVES UP.
