The Arsamakov-family may stay

For many years the refugee-family from Chechnia has been pulled back and forth. Their highest wish has been to stay in our small town.
But the Norwegian government wanted to kick them out.
They were sent from Vadsø to a camp in Oslo, and was supposed to be sent to a plane to Russia. But something came up, and they were sent back to Vadsø, to wait for their deportation. This has been very hard for them.
However, the bureacracy has been working very slow. The children of the family finally spent more years in Norway than in Chechnia.
They were given a lot of support from Norwegian friends in the town. it has been difficult to understand why children living in the country for so many years, should be expelled.
And finally, the government came to the conclusion, that families with children, spending a certain amount of years in the country, while the bureaucracy works to slow, may stay.

So finally. The government showed some kind of humanity.
