Mayhem erupts in Hague as brawling 'migrants' torch cars, trash buildings and hurl bricks at riot cops - turning Dutch city into a WARZONE

2024-02-18

Send ‘em all home. Clearly at this generation of young Eritreans cannot be trusted to live among civilized people. Perhaps their children will someday do better.

[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] A violent riot erupted on the streets of the Hague last night, as 'migrants' attacked cops with bricks and torched police cars.

Dozens of rioters were filmed surrounding the Opera conference hall along Fruitweg in the Netherlands, as multiple police vans drove to the scene.

Another clip also showed the aftermath. The building had several smashed windows and parked vehicles were on fire, with the street left looking like a warzone.

A fight broke out between two groups of Eritreans. 'It got seriously out of hand,' The Hague Municipality spokesman Robin Middel said last night.

Middel said a group loyal to Eritrea's government was holding a meeting when the venue was attacked by Eritreans who oppose the African nation's government.

Shards of glass covered the streets and smoke from the tear gas could be seen seeping into the air, as coppers had their cars pelted by bricks, bikes and traffic signs.

Officers dressed in riot gear barricaded the entrance to the building and dealt with a fire that had broken out inside. They removed what appeared to be a fuel canister from the property.

Youths were dressed in hooded jackets and some covered their faces with scarves and balaclavas.

The fighting is the latest outbreak of violence at Eritrean events in Europe.

Dozens of people, including at least 26 police officers, were injured during unrest surrounding an Eritrean cultural festival in the southwestern German city of Stuttgart in September 2023.

A fight the same month between Eritrean government supporters and opponents in Tel Aviv led to violent street confrontations among African asylum-seekers and migrants.

Months earlier, a clash at an Eritrean festival in the western German city of Giessen left 22 police officers injured.

Tens of thousands of people have fled Eritrea for Europe, many alleging they were mistreated by the repressive government of President Isaias Afwerki.

The conflicts underscore deep divisions among members of the Eritrean diaspora between those who remain close to the government and those who have fled to live in exile and strongly oppose Isaias.

#8 Daily Mail videos disagree with your opinion Rupert Gleck2911 that it was a small riot. Seemed like a lot more than 200 protestors burning several vehicles, smashing windows and throwing stones.
To me it was reminiscent of our BLM riots sans tear gas. Of course all thing in their perspective.

#6

The results of OPEN BORDERS.
Which bring in massive groups that have NO PLANS to adopt existing social norms, culture and blend in with their new chosen location. That will setup
mini versions of the Hell Holes they left and control district voting.

Mean while here in the USA
National Archives Rotunda remains closed after protesters dump a red powder on the displayed U.S. Constitution.

#5 nothing special

A useful perspective, Rupert Gleck2911, thank you. Upsetting that this is indeed nothing special, but I realize most people aren’t as sheltered as I.

And an especial thank you to you and all your crew for making the world safer.

#4 small riot, about a 100-120 participants, boy's and girls in blue had the situation under control in about 2 hours, tons of camera footage of the perpetrators, all traces will be erased in about 24 hours, this is a neighbourhood where the natives and non natives get uppity 3-4 a year, nothing special.

Source: I send people out to clean up this non-sense in another big(ish) municipality where the same shit happens from time to time.
