Eurovision - Swedish Pop Star Tusse Targeted By Far-Right
Photo dated May 16, 2021 of Tusse from Sweden during a ceremony to open the 2021 Eurovision song contest at the Rotterdam Cruise Terminal, Netherlands. A decade after being granted asylum in Sweden, 19-year-old Tousin Chiza is representing his adopted country at the Eurovision Song Contest in Rotterdam next week. Tousin, or Tusse, as he's known in Sweden, was born in the Democratic Republic of Congo. He fled to a refugee camp in Uganda aged five with his aunt, siblings and cousins, and lived there for three years until moving to Sweden aged eight. Following Swedens first rehearsal on the Ahoy stage, the contests official channels saw an influx of racist comments questioning Tusses right to participate in the contest for Sweden.
