Norway marked the decade since the slaughter of Breivik with anti-extremism applications

Oslo: The victim of the worst massacre of Norway since World War II was summoned on Thursday for the country to fight hatred who motivated the extremist right-wing Anders Behring Breivik who killed exactly 10 years ago.
Breivik triggered a bomb outside the building that accommodated the government office in Oslo killing eight people before shooting dozens in a summer camp organized by the Labor Party Youth (AUF) on Utoya Island, leaving 69 teenagers.
“July 22 is not a random action.
It is not a natural disaster,” Astrid Eide Hoem, a victim who has since become the Head of the Auf, said in a speech at Utoya on Thursday afternoon.
“It was a targeted political terror attack, driven by an extremist right-wing ideology.
With hatred.” The shooting on the island lasted 72 minutes, when Breivik stalked and shot young people who were panicked who were trapped on the small island.
‘Hate being able to kill again’ – Breivik then said that he aims to hold a “display of fireworks” to draw attention to the anti-immigrant screed, anti-marxist dubbed “Manifesto” which targets them to deliver multiculturalism he hates.
“Ten years ago we traveled to Utoya to change the world.
But then our world is changed forever,” said Eide Hoem.
“Deadly racism and right-wing extremism live between us.
Hate being killed before and hate can kill again.” The 26-year-old child ended his speech with the action to act: “Now we have to complete our account with racism and right-wing extremism.
Every day.” He and other survivors felt that even 10 years in Norway still had not really faced the ideology that drove Breivik.
Speaking to the survivors and relatives of the victims at the morning ceremony near the government complex where Breivik detonated his 950 kilograms of bombs, Erna Solerance’s prime minister urged empathy and tolerance.
“We should not let hatred stands not closed,” Solberg said.
Church bells nationally heard to honor the victims after noon.
Shortly after the attack, Head of NATO Jens Stoltenberg, who is the Prime Minister of Labor at the time, promised to respond with “more democracy” and “more humanity”.
“Ten years ago, we met hatred with love,” Stoltenberg said in a speech during the Church Memorial Service on Thursday.
“But hatred is still there.” This week Vandal wrote “True Breivik” at a warning to Benjamin Hermansen, who was killed by the Neo-Nazis in 2001.
Stoltenberg also referred to an effort to attack 2019 by Philip Manshaus, who opened a shot to the mosque on the outskirts of Oslo before being controlled by worshipers.
Norwegian intelligence services (PST) also warned this week the type of ideas that pushed the murder in 2011 “still driving force” for extremists at home and abroad.
“We have to dare to talk about what happens even if it is uncomfortable,” said Prince Crown Haakon to the survivors and relatives of the victims sitting at Utoya Lawn in the sun.
– Open wound – Breivik, who is now 42, was sentenced to 21 years in prison but the sentence could be extended without limits.
Many survivors still suffer from psychological trauma, including post-traumatic stress, anxiety, depression, and headaches, a recent paper by the Center for Violence and Norwegian traumatic stress studies.
“When you have gone through something like this, you don’t return to being someone you,” Eide Hoem told AFP in an interview.
“I trouble sleeping, I’m afraid, and I think I have to live with this all my life.”
