   @mpjgregoire @basil Sweden with its self-image as a "humanitarian superpower", strong belief in the right to political asylum and a soft spot for the underdogs of the world has been a popular home away from home for separatist or dissident groups in exile, including people from Xinjiang, Chile and the PKK from Turkey.

     Several well-known Swedish musicians, authors, comedians and politicians are Kurds born in Sweden to parents who came mostly from Turkey but also from Iraq and in some case Iran.
     
     Sweden sent 200 officers to Iraqi Kurdistan to train the Peshmerga. Several Swedes, Kurds and not, also went there and to Rojava in a private capacity to volunteer as fighters in support of Kurdish troops.
