At least 26 police officers were injured on Saturday at an Eritrean cultural event in the western German city of Giessen.
Police said they were pelted with items, including stones, bottles and smoke bombs as groups of Eritreans opposed to the African nation’s autocratic ruler tried to force their way to the venue.
Long story short, the festival was hosted by Pro-Regime Eritreans and was rushed by Anti-Regime Eritreans.

Ich möchte ausdrücklich NICHT auf #Gießen aufmerksam machen!
Ausdrücklich NICHT!
Es ist nur ein Fest der Kulturen 🤦🏻♂️🙄 pic.twitter.com/DzillDrlP2— McCrushi (@McCrushi) July 8, 2023
