The streets of The Hague, Netherlands, descended into chaos last night as violent riots broke out, with migrants hurling bricks, torching cars, and clashing with riot police. The unrest centered around the Opera conference hall along Fruitweg, where scenes of mayhem unfolded as police struggled to maintain order.

 

Videos circulating on social media captured the intensity of the clashes, with rioters surrounding the Opera hall, smashing windows, and setting vehicles ablaze. The aftermath left the area resembling a warzone, with shards of glass littering the streets and thick smoke billowing into the air from tear gas canisters.

Dressed in hooded jackets and with faces covered, the youths engaged in confrontations with police, pelting their vehicles with projectiles and obstructing their efforts to contain the situation. Riot officers, clad in protective gear, worked to barricade the entrance to the building and extinguish fires that had broken out inside.

 

Journalist Owen O'Brien shared footage of the chaos, describing the extensive damage inflicted upon the Opera hall during the violent riots. The mayor of The Hague, Jan van Zanen, authorized the use of tear gas by police and issued an emergency order for the affected area to restore public order.

 

The clashes were reportedly sparked by a confrontation between two groups of Eritreans, resulting in fights and stone-throwing incidents. Police units, including riot police, were deployed to quell the unrest, with emergency services responding to extinguish fires and assess any injuries.

This incident is not isolated, as similar outbreaks of violence have occurred at Eritrean events across Europe in recent months. In Germany, clashes during Eritrean cultural festivals have led to injuries among both participants and law enforcement officers. Tensions among members of the Eritrean diaspora, exacerbated by political divisions and opposition to the Eritrean government, have contributed to the escalation of violence in these gatherings.

 

The underlying issues driving these conflicts underscore the challenges faced by migrants fleeing repressive regimes, such as Eritrea, and seeking refuge in Europe. As authorities work to restore calm and investigate the causes of the unrest, the need for dialogue and resolution of deep-seated grievances within migrant communities remains paramount.

It hasn't worked very well for the indigenous Aborigines has it?

Not sure that comes under the heading 'multiculti'. Perhaps more 'self-help'.
