Uzbekistan

Uzbekistan is a landlocked country in Central Asia. It is newsworthy in this context because a citizen of Uzbekistan, identified as Sofiye, sought asylum in Sweden in 2008 and built a life there. The article highlights the impact of Sweden's recent immigration crackdown on families like Sofiye's. While the other articles mention the UK losing its measles-free status and Namibia's failed bid to overturn the rhino horn trade ban, Uzbekistan's relevance stems solely from its connection to an individual impacted by Swedish immigration policies. This underscores the global impact of national policies and the experiences of immigrants and asylum seekers from various countries, including Uzbekistan.
