After we brought to the readers the story below, many outlets have taken up the issue. We have decided to bring to you some of the comments from other outlets on the story.
It is amazing how people are seriously occupied with the issue of mistreating women.
This should make us take this seriously and give the necessary support to women in situations like the one we described.
Here below is our story of 11.November with comments from different countries:

Norway: “I have a new African boyfriend,” says Kenyan woman married to a Norwegian man!
Posted by africanpress on December 11th, 2006
APN was recently approached by a Kenyan woman married to a Norwegian man. She wanted to tell her story and to warn other women married to some cruel Norwegian men or men in general who treat them as less human.
The woman who does not want to make her name public, before she has qualified for permanent residence permit says, the man started beating her from day one.
Asked whether she is still being beaten by the man, she says the beating has become normal to her because as she puts it, “I know nothing better in this country, but I keep praying that God helps me through my ordeal, until I get my permanent residence stamp from the Norwegian Immigration – UDI,” she says with tears in her eyes.
While APN interviewed her in one Oslo restaurant recently, she become less concentrated in the middle of the interview, kept looking around as if she was waiting for someone to come.
One could see fear in her eyes. When asked what was wrong, she told APN that she is scared talking to any man anywhere, because if discovered by the husband, she gets thoroughly beaten and humiliated.
Saying she has got used to the beating, for a number of years now, she told APN that the worst humiliation she faces, now and then, is when the husband thinks the food she has made does not taste to his standard. As punishment, the husband forces her to wash him all over the body with warm water mixed with oil.
She is later told to bath in the same water as a punishment and reminded that Africa does not have clean water.
On sex, the woman says, that is nothing to talk about. Because for her, sex she has with him is disgusting. According to her, she has had sex 5 times in two years, sex that she enjoyed. The other sexual contact she says amounts to rape, because it happens anytime and anywhere when he decides it is time to have it. I accept to do it, but immediately after that I feel dirty and cry inside me the whole day.
“If I complain, he tells me that he will ask for separation, and I will be send back to Kenya. I live a painful life in this country. I thought I had found a man. When he met me, he made me feel I was everything for him, but after we got married things changed dramatically. In fact, I am not allowed to greet any African men in Norway. If he discovers that, he makes me suffer without food for 2 to 3 days. It is a nightmare,” she says.
Q: Why do you not report him to the police?
A: “That will be like committing suicide. If the police fail to do something then I will suffer. He is cruel when we are alone, but he acts like a super man when we are out having a drink in public. He will make a fool of me if the police were to question him. He know how to smooth talk his way on almost everything. One day I decided to tell my mother when we were together in Kenya on holidays, but she just told me to treat him well. I know why. He likes playing the good guy in front of my mother, giving her money, and manages to win her to his side. When I get my permanent permit, I will sit my mother down and make her understand how much I have suffered in this marriage, a marriage that I now call slave-marriage.”
Q: Can we help you to take it up with the UDI (Immigration authorities) so that you may get the help that you need and live a decent life?
A: No! And I hope you will not do that secretly, because things will be worse than it is now. Please do not do it. My new African boyfriend makes me feel great and that makes me to forget the suffering at times.”
We do not have words to express the fear we saw in her eyes. It is like somebody who is waiting to be executed for a crime not committed.
After having a beer and a cocktail drink offered to her by APN, she looked out to the street and said listen, “there are two Norwegian men I want you to know about. One of them was married to a Kenyan woman years ago, while the other one lived with a Kenyan woman without getting married to her. The two men were cruel to the women and lost them eventually. Now the women are very happy in Norway. They can do what they want with their lives. The problem is that one of them got a child, and that makes it difficult to cut off the man completely.”
She continues to narrate her story. “The two men boast a lot that African women are cheap, and that they can get as many as they want on a daily basis. They promise them dinners, and free trips abroad for holidays. The strange thing with them is that when they were left by the two women who came from Kenya, they decided to get women from the neighbouring countries, Uganda and Tanzania. I have no contact with the two women so I cannot tell you how they were treated before they left the men too,” says with anger in her voice.
This is a sad story. APN has used five days to research the facts, and we can now reveal that her story is true. She has been seen with a new African man out dancing, and having lunch. The two Norwegian men she talks about are reported to be constantly seen within the African community still fooling the women and mistreating them.
She tells APN that she does not understand why women continue to allow these kind of men in their lives.
The interesting thing with this story is that the men she is talking about have not been seen dating Norwegian woman after they started getting involved with African women. It is probably because they are not able to dictate a Norwegian women to do things against their will. The Norwegian women will simply leave them because they do not need to wait in a dangerous marriage. They do not require 3 years to get any permit!
Problems like this must be addressed by the Norwegian authorities. The laws and regulations that govern marriage should be looked into in order to save African woman from being treated like less human beings, by their Norwegian spouses, or any other men no matter where they come from.
Our interview object is now in a process of forming an action group that she calls “Stop battering African woman.” She tell APN that immediately she gets her permanent stamp, she will go public and lead the action group that now comprises of 15 African women as members.
She says their aim is fight for the rights of African women who live under torture and fear to be send out of the country for breaking up with their men. She calls upon the Norwegian women to help their fellow African sisters, to get out of the mental torture they undergo.

December 11th, 2006 at 2:01 pm eThis story is all too common, it is also an old story of exploitation. For years, centuries even, the dominant man has controlled his woman with money and power.I admire this woman for wanting to wait and get her residency and then leaving this cruel man. She is right that no one will help her also. People will act all pious and concerned, but she will for sure be stabbed in the back for reporting, and returned home, both humiliated and having to start over again.Right now she just has to accept the abuse and look for a brighter day in the future when she has her papers. Lets hope that he and others do not treat these women too badly, with the whippings and sexual violence (rapes). Lets face it, the police and others often are concern, but are able to do little to prevent/stop it.
Again, this is nothing new, it has been going on for perhaps since the beginning of time. The old saying, “The sun never sets on British soil” lays testament to the fact that money, people and things are were just taken and taken advantage of for a long time. None of these relationships were truly consensual, but were primarily for survival, so these women have always been whipped, raped and humiliated, by the dominant group of men with power. In this case, its the power to immigrate.
I wish this woman well, and the thousands others like her. I admire that she wants to start a group to address this issue also. Perhaps if enough information becomes public, the immigration requirements may change where a woman does not have to be debased and abused to obtain residency in another country,
Anyone with a similar story, please e-mail to redbottom4y@yahoo.com.
December 11th, 2006 at 2:35 pm eTo Andre,This is a very sad story. We only hope people understand what this woman is going through.
She has sisters and brothers, she is a human being who deserves respect but is being molested far away from home.She should really be encouraged to fight it out.
Your commentary is very touching and we hope many see the point as you do.
We thank you for such a serious commentary on this very serious issue affecting our daughters as well as sisters who have no ways to break out from this white mans grip!

December 12th, 2006 at 9:21 am ewhat? Admire her for her courage and etc…
Now imagine if she is your sister?
December 14th, 2006 at 5:31 pm eIt is really a sad story. But I do not think resident papers should make one suffer like that. Why mix with so evil people, or racists who think colour means anything.I wish her the best.Esther

GachunguaRe: Our Kenyan sister is suffering a lot in Norway December 14 2006, 7:46 PMShe is willing to put up with all that humiliation because of papers? If she was to be killed what good would be those papers. Surely Kenya is not that bad that she should be willing to put her life in such danger. Sorry, my dear, I fail to have any sympathy for you. You need to get your self esteem up and fast.

Country:——————Hmmm, I don’t know whom I dislike more; the savage “woman”, who should be sent back to her place of origin, or the disgusting race traitor, who would have sexual contact with her. Regardless, I do not feel sorry for her because she does not belong north of the equator.

Race traitor! I love when people cry this old ranting!
And the fact the woman is from the southern hemisphere is a motive for him not to feel sorry for her.
BTW what is your view of Australians and New Zealanders? After all they are both countries with white majorities in the southern hemisphere…

I hold white Aussies and New Zealanders in extremely high regard. Too bad they are far too tolerant with regard to aborigine and maori savages.

So would you want the real indigenous to be mistreated? Would you want them to be segregated?

“Most Western and Central Europeans go to poor countries to rape little children”.
Are you some sort of double agent that is trying to discredit communism by stating such blatantly ridiculous things?

I remember reading quotes from child prostitutes on the tabloid The Sun where they say similar things.

I won’t discount that this was a white man abusing his newly purchased property, but there is still a chance of this being mud on mud violence, right?

True, you can’t discount that possibility.

That’s a little different than saying that the majority of Europeans go to the third world for child prostitution.

And prostitutes are attributed a sense of credibility since exactly when?

Segregate the populations, give them a part of the land for themselves, and make that part independant. They can live in their mudhuts doing whatever it is they want to do, and noone gets in eachother’s way. There would be no talk of anyone mistreating the other.

No, in two day’s time you’d have them jumping the borders onto your land to try and seek “asylum”.

Some modicum of a spine will be needed to deal with such situations when they arrive.

If the land redistribution plan you proposed includes allowances for, ummm, “border control”, I doubt that’ll be a problem.
