Below is a follow-up to last Sunday’s post about the recent culture-enriching riots in the Hague, which pitted rival groups of Eritrean immigrants against each other and the police.

All 13 suspects still in custody after Eritrean riot in the Hague
February 19, 2024
All 13 suspects who were arrested Saturday during the riots between two groups of Eritreans are still in custody. According to the police, they are suspected of public violence and weapons possession. They are men between the ages of 19 and 36.
In the riots surrounding the meeting of Eritreans in a meeting hall center in the Hague, eight police officers were wounded. Pro-government Eritreans were gathered at the meeting. Opponents of the dictatorial regime sought the confrontation. According to the Hague mayor Van Zanen, the rioting youths were from the Eritrean organization Brigade Nhamedu.
Tweede Kamer wants clarification
Yesterday, several fractions in the Tweede Kamer [Second Chamber of Parliament] stated that they wanted clarification on the riots. Among others, The VVD [People’s Party for Freedom and Democracy] and CDA [Christian Democratic Appeal] have questions for outgoing Justice and Security Minister Yesilgoz. The parties also think that there should be an investigation into Brigade Nhamedu.
These are images from the riots.
PVV leader [Geert] Wilders says he is “sick and tired” and feels that the perpetrators must be arrested and deported. “I want to become the prime minister who finally puts things in order,” he writes on X. The VVD wants “strong punishment” and feels that such violence must have consequences for an eventual residence permit or “Dutch citizenship”. Several parties also want an investigation into the tension between the two groups.
Regularly go at each other
Refugee supporters and opponents of the regime in Eritrea regularly face off with each other. For that reason, there were extra measures taken at the meeting. Mayor Van Zanen later acknowledged that the acts of violence surprised him.
Following the riots, the Public Prosecutor’s Office established a large-scale investigative team to prosecute the suspects. The police are still investigating the case.
The Hague, a bastion of democracy and peace – what a joke! They think they have the right to judge others in their corrupt International Criminal Court. Nero fiddles while Rome burns.
Excellent comment, the Criminals International Court more likely.
This is awful.
I had an adult ESL student about 25 yrs. ago. She was from Eritrea, and was a married mom of 4.
Her spoken English was so good, I asked her why she wanted lessons. She said, “Because I want to speak English even better”. She complained about the Mexicans not wanting to speak English with her. She understood the need for English to be the common language.
Our Eritean community here is a very peaceful, supportive group, all seeming to know one another, or know of just about everyone in their community. They work hard, teach their kids right, and just want a good life.
Why did Europe allow these wretched troublemakers in?
Eritrea sent their troublemakers and prison populations to Europe, like all the other countries do.
I bet if these savages tried this BS in Eritrea, the police would shoot them dead: JJ Rousseau’s noble savage, my [fundament]
