Violent conflict with 150 people erupts in Calgary Saturday afternoon [Eritreans vs. Eritreans]
National Post [Canada] ^ | Sept. 3, 2023 | Monica Zurowski

Police were called to the scene around 5 p.m. Saturday and told two groups of people were engaged in violent activity. When they arrived, they separated the groups and worked to de-escalate the situation, noting “many of those involved were brandishing weapons.” A video of the scene posted online showed men with bats and sticks....

The confrontation may be related to similar Eritrean conflicts that have been occurring in cities around the world, including a recent riot in Edmonton in mid-August.

The Edmonton Journal/Edmonton Sun reported that incident was a chaotic scene with few if any parallels in Edmonton’s history: hundreds of men clashing on a field — some in blue, others in orange — carrying sticks and poles flying brightly coloured flags. The conflict pitted members of the city’s Eritrean community against one another and led officers to take the rare step of proclaiming the Riot Act....

Bloody protests Saturday by rival groups of Eritreans in south Tel Aviv left dozens of people injured. Eritreans, supporters and opponents of Eritrea’s government, faced off with construction lumber, pieces of metal and rocks, smashing shop windows and police cars. Israeli police in riot gear shot tear gas, stun grenades and live rounds while officers on horseback tried to control the protesters.

Elsewhere on Saturday, Norway’s second-largest city, Bergen, witnessed clashes between supporters and opponents of the Eritrean government during a rally commemorating the country’s independence day. Norwegian authorities said government opponents threw bottles and stones at rally participants....

In early August, Swedish media reported that about 1,000 protesters stormed an Eritrean festival in Stockholm, the capital, setting booths and cars on fire and using rocks and sticks as weapons, leaving at least 52 people injured and more than 100 people detained.

That sounds like a voice of sanity.

They cannot seem to behave.

Israel is deporting their Africans to Canada.

Canada to continue accepting Africans from Israel, despite Netanyahu’s flip-flop

I remember reading press reports praising Israel for its humanitarianism ... because it sent its Africans to Canada rather than back to Africa.

Somehow I doubt the world press would praise Germany, France, Sweden, Britain, etc. if they tried to deport Africans anywhere.

I thought this kind of behavior was to be blamed on LBJ’s Great Society program

Some people are not meant to be in civilized society. Send them home.

Time to bring back THUNDERDOME. Two gangs enter, one gang leaves.
Sell tickets so people can watch at home in safety.

Fidel Trudeau probably has something like that going on in Canuckstan.
