Apparently, a mostly peaceful conflict between two groups within Eritrea has entitled people from both sides of the conflict to claim asylum in Europe and the U.S. This has resulted in the mostly peaceful conflict continuing in The Hague and in, for example, North Carolina. “Charlotte protesters attack officers, set tractor-trailer on fire in riot at Eritrean ‘cultural event’: police” (Fox News):
The Charlotte Mecklenburg Police Department said eight people were arrested Saturday during a 10-hour “protest and standoff” that stemmed from an Eritrean “cultural event.”
Clashes erupted between rival groups of Eritreans, and police confirmed that officers trying to disperse the unlawful crowds were attacked by people wielding sticks, rocks and other items.
Crowds also set a tractor on fire in North Carolina’s largest city, and police seized a total of two firearms over the course of several hours.
There seems to be some confusion regarding what language Eritreans speak:
“The officers were met with violence and hostility, with protesters throwing objects,” the department said in its initial press release. “Over the course of several hours, the CEU gave multiple dispersal orders in English and Spanish and were again met with violence from protesters wielding sticks, rocks and other items.”
What is the source of the mostly peaceful peace?
Tens of thousands of people have fled Eritrea for Europe, many alleging they were mistreated by the repressive government of President Isaias Afwerki. The conflicts underscore deep divisions among members of the Eritrean diaspora between those who remain close to the government and those who have fled to live in exile and strongly oppose Afwerki.
We know how to be on the right side of history (next to Vladimir Putin) with respect to the Israel v. Islamic Resistance Movement (“Hamas”), UNRWA, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, et al. situation. But which side in the Eritrean v. Eritrean peace should we be on? Which side corresponds to Hamas in terms of having created an ideal progressive society?

The 20-year stalemate ended after Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed came to power in 2018. Abiy signed a “joint declaration of peace and friendship” at a bilateral summit on 9 July, restoring diplomatic and trade ties with Eritrea. … Shortly before Eritrea declared independence, Isaias contracted cerebral malaria and was flown to Israel for treatment. Arriving in a coma, he was treated at Sheba Medical Center, where he recovered after successful treatment. … His training in China made him a great admirer of Mao Zedong…
“We Must Fight Them Over There So We Don’t Have to Fight Them Over Here” sure has been turned on its head.
But which side in the Eritrean v. Eritrean peace should we be on? Eritea obviously!
A riot broke out at an Eritrean cultural event is surely an interesting take on Eritrean culture.
If European countries remain silent inside their cities while we are being tortured, isolated and killed by the Eritrean Embassy and Eritrean spies, our only option is to fight, defend and win. Peace in European countries is ensured by closing the Eritrean embassy and expelling spies.
The Eritrean government, which has voted war against Ukraine and has strong ties to Russia, terrorizing European cities by threatening asylum seekers that they have fled from its hands.
closed the regime’s embassies and expelled dictatorial spies to stop conflicts. Eritrean Asylum Fraudsters that Continue to Support Dictatorship after they got asylum, they pay/send 2% of welfare from citizen taxpayers to the Eritrean dictatorship. Why didn’t the world act? & why the citizen’s of democratic Europe, Canada, USA remain silent? for sure you have to be beside us.
