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.

Canada is reiterating its stance against the use of cluster munitions following the Biden administration’s decision to send the controversial weapon to Ukraine amid Russia’s invasion.
In a statement sent to CTV News, the Government of Canada said its longstanding position on the weapon is clear in that Canada is fully against its use in accordance with Canada’s ban against landmines.
“Building on the trailblazing work of Lloyd Axworthy on the Ottawa Treaty to ban landmines, Canada championed the adoption of the Convention on Cluster Munitions, which is now ratified by more than 100 countries,” the statement said.
Cluster bombs: Biden defends decision to send Ukraine controversial weapons
US President Joe Biden has defended his “very difficult decision” to give Ukraine cluster bombs, which have a record of killing civilians.
The president said it had taken him “a while to be convinced to do it”, but he had acted because “the Ukrainians are running out of ammunition”.
Ukraine’s leader hailed the “timely” move.
But the UK’s PM suggested the country “discourages” the use of cluster bombs, while Spain criticised the decision.

According to police, an investigation began in May after they received a complaint that someone was driving around in a truck with “Free Candy” on it.
When Ian Runkle set off the security alarm on his way out of an Edmonton Walmart in May, he didn’t pause for the store guard who called after him. Runkle had rightfully paid for all his groceries at the self-checkout, and as a criminal defence lawyer, knew his rights.
“I kept walking because I’m not really under any obligation to stop,” he said. When cooking dinner later that night, Runkle found the culprit — a small, metal security tag hidden under the label of the steak he had purchased. The checkout machine didn’t catch it.
