Africa-Press – Gambia. <\/strong><\/span>As Europe\u2019s far right grows louder, the outspoken Left Party lawmaker is refusing to be silent despite the danger to himself and his family.<\/b><\/p>\n

When Momodou Malcolm Jallow appears on screen for our Zoom interview, it\u2019s not from the echoing halls of Riksdag, Sweden\u2019s Parliament, nor the streets of his political base in Malmo\u0308. He\u2019s joining from an island \u2013 its name withheld \u2013 not out of mystery, but out of necessity.<\/p>\n

For years, the Gambia-born Jallow has lived under threat from far-right extremists enraged by both his politics and his identity. It\u2019s why he won\u2019t disclose his whereabouts, especially to a journalist he\u2019s speaking to for the first time.<\/p>\n

Now the first person of African descent to chair a parliamentary committee in Sweden \u2013 the Civil Affairs Committee \u2013 he lives under constant surveillance, harassment, threats and is forced to adapt even the most mundane parts of life to stay safe.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve had to change the way I move,\u201d he tells me. \u201cWhat schools my children attend, what routes I take to work. It\u2019s exhausting, but it\u2019s necessary. Some people would rather I disappear than speak the truth.\u201d<\/p>\n

With his neatly trimmed beard and unwavering gaze behind thick-rimmed glasses, Jallow carries the calm authority of a man long accustomed to walking through fire<\/b>.<\/p>\n

\u201c… that I stood up when it was easier to sit down. That I carried the weight of a people and never dropped it. Even when my voice trembled, I still spoke. Even when they threatened me, I did not shut up.\u201d<\/p>\n

He had warned me that the internet on the island might be patchy, so I braced myself for frozen screens and dropped calls. However, the signal holds. For nearly an hour, he speaks with the emotional clarity of someone who has spent years not just surviving, but resisting both the institutional coldness and the more intimate cruelties of racism in a country that so often prides itself on tolerance.<\/p>\n

From Bakau to Malmo\u0308<\/b><\/p>\n

Born in the coastal Gambian town of Bakau in 1975, Jallow\u2019s political worldview wasn\u2019t shaped in the corridors of power, but, as he puts it, \u201con the dusty streets of Gambia and in the ice-cold silence of Europe\u201d.<\/p>\n

He grew up in a working-class family, part of a tight-knit community where poverty coexisted with pride. \u201cWe didn\u2019t have much,\u201d he says. \u201cBut we had each other.\u201d<\/p>\n

Still, even as a child, he sensed the weight of what wasn\u2019t said in his community; the quiet discomfort around injustice, gender inequality, and colonial legacies that lingered like ghosts. \u201cThose silences,\u201d he says, \u201ctaught me how much power lies in truth\u201d.<\/p>\n

Jallow arrived in Sweden as a teenager, carrying hopes of opportunity and inclusion. However, what he encountered shattered any illusions about the Nordic ideal of openness. \u201cI was the only Black person on the flight,\u201d he recalls. \u201cAt the airport, the police took me aside. They made me strip to my underwear. I cried. That\u2019s when I realised my Blackness would always come before my humanity in their eyes.\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s exhausting, but it\u2019s necessary. Some people would rather I disappear than speak the truth.<\/p>\n

That early experience of being singled out never left him. It shaped how he navigated Swedish society, not with blind optimism, but with a sharpened sense of justice. Over time, activism became his language of resistance. In Malmo\u0308, Sweden\u2019s third-largest city, he embedded himself in grassroots work, campaigning on issues of racial justice, housing, and migrant rights.<\/p>\n

Jallow\u2019s entry into partisan politics was catalysed in 2010, after he publicly denounced a racist mock slave auction at Lund University, Sweden. The incident triggered a wave of threats against him and his family, including the circulation of a dehumanising image portraying him in chains, as an enslaved African.<\/p>\n

After years of working as an activist, including as chair of the Afro-Swedes\u2019 Forum for Justice, he\u2019d start his parliamentary journey in 2017. When fellow Left Party MP Daniel Sestrajcic stepped down, Jallow was appointed to replace him in the Riksdag, followed by his re-election in both 2018 and 2022.<\/p>\n

Racism on first day at work<\/b><\/p>\n

In 2022, he made history by ecoming the first person of African descent to chair a Swedish parliamentary committee. \u201cSymbolism matters,\u201d he says. \u201cBut it also comes with a price.\u201dThat price is security threats, character assassinations, and relentless efforts to undermine his legitimacy. \u201cThey expect me to be quiet, grateful, obedient,\u201d he says. \u201cInstead, I speak up.\u201dThey made me strip to my underwear. I cried. That\u2019s when I realised my Blackness would always come before my humanity in their eyes.Even his 2017 entrance into Parliament was marked by racism. \u201cAt the time, I was the only person of African descent in Parliament,\u201d Jallow recalls. \u201cNow there are two of us; myself and a woman from Somalia. But back then, I was it. Just me, and for some people, that created a kind of cognitive dissonance. They couldn\u2019t process it.\u201d He remembers his first day walking into the Riksdag with his young daughter. They were dressed formally, badges in hand, like any other MP. But a parliamentary staffer stopped them and began directing them toward the visitors\u2019 gallery.\u201cMy daughter and I just stood there, shocked,\u201d he says. \u201cBefore I could even respond, one of my colleagues turned around and asked her, \u2018Why are you sending him to the visitors\u2019 area? He\u2019s a Member of Parliament, like all of us.\u2019\u201dThe staffer looked at Jallow and, without switching to Swedish, said: \u201cOh, I\u2019m sorry. Please, you can proceed to the chambers.\u201d\u201cMy colleague told her, \u2018He speaks Swedish. He\u2019s a Swedish MP.\u2019 And I just stood there, holding my daughter\u2019s hand.\u201dIt was a moment of public humiliation that Jallow says cut deeply not just for him, but for his daughter. \u201cShe asked me afterward, \u2018Why did she do that?\u2019\u201d he says. \u201cAnd I had to explain that in this country, racism is institutionalised. Whiteness is still seen as synonymous with Swedishness. So a white person from South Africa or Spain can be seen as more Swedish than a Black person born and raised right here.\u201dIt\u2019s the kind of moment that echoes through his daily life, a life he describes as a constant balancing act between being a father, a parliamentarian and a Black man in Sweden, roles he never gets to separate.\u201cA typical day?\u201d he says, pausing. \u201cIt begins early, with the weight of three worlds on my shoulders.\u201d Jallow, whose middle name \u201cMalcolm\u201d is a homage to iconic US Black nationalist leader Malcolm X, wakes up as a father first, checking in on his children before stepping into Parliament, where, as he puts it, he carries \u201cthe hopes of communities long silenced\u201d.\u201cEvery meeting, every debate, every policy discussion is a battlefield,\u201d he says. \u201cI have to be twice as prepared, twice as calm, twice as strong to be seen as equal. Then I come home carrying both victories and scars, hoping my children will grow up in a country where they don\u2019t have to fight just to belong.\u201d<\/p>\n

PKK protest and backlash<\/b><\/p>\n

Since entering parliament, Jallow has used his platform to speak out against what he calls \u201cSweden\u2019s culture of polite denial\u201d. One of his most memorable speeches \u2013 This is not ignorance. This is a political choice \u2013 was aimed squarely at Swedish institutions that deny systemic racism even as they perpetuate it.\u201cI was speaking to power,\u201d he says, \u201cbut I was also speaking for the mothers whose pain is ignored in maternity wards, for the children who shrink themselves in classrooms, for the worshippers whose mosques are vandalised.\u201d Racism in Sweden, he says, is not accidental. \u201cIt is a structure. A policy. A decision.\u201dThe cost of that outspokenness has been high. In 2022, he appeared in a photo next to a flag of the PKK \u2013 a Kurdish militant political organisation and armed guerrilla group primarily based in the mountainous Kurdish-majority regions of southeastern Turkiye \u2013 during a protest against Sweden\u2019s NATO accession prompted by Ankara\u2019s demands for tougher anti-terror laws. The backlash was swift. Even Sweden\u2019s justice minister at the time called the act \u201cunacceptable\u201d.Every meeting, every debate, every policy discussion is a battlefieldJallow doesn\u2019t flinch. \u201cI don\u2019t measure my actions by the comfort of the powerful,\u201d he says. \u201cThat protest was against hypocrisy. Against criminalising Kurdish refugees while ignoring Turkish state violence. Against a democracy willing to trade human rights for NATO membership.\u201d<\/p>\n

Death threats and police protection<\/b><\/p>\n

Jallow has been living under police protection for years. He\u2019s received death threats. One message warned that his home would be bombed with his children inside.He describes the experience as both \u201csurreal and painful\u201d. To walk into the halls of democracy, and<\/p>\n

know your presence alone is a trigger for hatred, makes you question, he says, \u201cWho is this democracy really for?\u201d So what keeps him from giving up?\u201cLove. Rage. Memory,\u201d he says. \u201cI hold on to my mother\u2019s courage. My father\u2019s passion. The rage of the oppressed, and the memory of all those who came before me who didn\u2019t have a microphone or a mandate but fought anyway.\u201dWhen asked how his idea of \u201chome\u201d has changed between The Gambia, Malmo\u0308, Strasbourg (home of the European Parliament), and the wider diaspora, Jallow doesn\u2019t hesitate.\u201cHome is no longer a place. It\u2019s a people. A cause. A mission,\u201d he says. \u201cThe Gambia raised me. Malmo\u0308 shaped me. Europe challenged me, and the diaspora, from Ferguson to Kinshasa, reminds me we are part of one struggle across oceans.\u201d If Sweden ever writes an honest account of itself, what would Jallow want his chapter to say?\u201cThat I made them look in the mirror,\u201d he says. \u201cThat I stood up when it was easier to sit down. That I carried the weight of a people and never dropped it. Even when my voice trembled, I still spoke. Even when they threatened me, I did not shut up.\u201d<\/p>\n
