Tweet translation : “300 Lebanese against 200 Syrians: street battles in Essen, migrant war in the Ruhr area!
The Ruhr area has long been a powder keg and now it is exploding: After two family clans from Syria and Lebanon fought each other with machetes and knives in Castrop-Rauxel on Thursday, things continued on Friday evening. At the Salzmarkt, in the middle of downtown Essen, 300 supporters of the Lebanese clan and 200 Syrian clan members faced each other, there was heavy fighting and street battles that lasted for hours. The police wanted / were allowed to watch, but the situation only calmed down on Saturday night.
