(Al-Jazeera) When Ahmad Salamoun received an eviction notice at the home he has lived in for more than 30 years, in Helsingør, painful memories flooded back to him.
Salamoun arrived in the Danish city, known as the setting to Shakespeare’s Hamlet, in the eighties, having fled the civil war in Lebanon — where he had lived in a camp as a Palestinian refugee.
“It’s the same feeling I have now,” he told Al Jazeera.
Reflecting on his experiences as a Palestinian under Israeli occupation, a refugee in a Lebanese camp, and an ethnic minority in Denmark, he added: “When you pick up people from one place and replace them with new ones, it is based on injustice and the colonial mindset.”
