A post shared on social media purportedly shows a video of a city in Sweden which has been completely “occupied” by foreigners.

Verdict: False

The video was taken in Syria, not Sweden.

Fact Check:

Kurdish armed forces in Iraq and Syria have claimed that a Turkish airstrike killed eight of their fighters on Friday, ABC News reported. Kurdish forces have claimed that a drone strike on their semi-autonomous region in Iraq killed eight of their fighters.

The Facebook post purports the country of Sweden has been overrun by immigrants with very few Swedish people visible. The video is taken by a man walking down a street in which a downtown city market is taking place.

“This is Sweden in 2023,” the caption reads. “Notice the lack of actual Swedes. Sweden is an occupied country. A once beautiful country.”

The claim is inaccurate. A reverse image search found the original video was posted on YouTube in 2022 titled, “Aleppo Downtown Walking tour, Abbara Market | Syria 2022.”

The video shows a sculpture that is a landmark in the city of Aleppo, not Sweden. A stock image of Aleppo shows the sculpture and the shopping mall behind it.

There is no credible news report that suggests this video was taken in Sweden. (RELATED: Did RFK Jr. Meet With Then-President Trump To Lead A Vaccine Safety Commission?)

This is not the first time a misinformation has been shared online. Check Your Fact recently debunked a claim that Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas misled the House Judiciary Committee during a hearing on the status of the southern border.
