REPRESENTING LIBYA Born in Sweden to a Swedish mother and a Libyan father, in 2011 his family moved to Plymouth, England, where he attended school before returning to Sweden. "I like representing Libya. I was born in Sweden and grew up there, but my father is from Libya and I still have relatives there. It feels like a part of me is from there."
