A violent riot erupted on the streets of the Hague last night, as 'migrants' attacked cops with bricks and torched police cars.
Dozens of rioters were filmed surrounding the Opera conference hall along Fruitweg in the Netherlands, as multiple police vans drove to the scene.
Another clip also showed the aftermath. The building had several smashed windows and parked vehicles were on fire, with the street left looking like a warzone.
A fight broke out between two groups of Eritreans. 'It got seriously out of hand,' The Hague Municipality spokesman Robin Middel said last night.
Middel said a group loyal to Eritrea's government was holding a meeting when the venue was attacked by Eritreans who oppose the African nation's government.
Shards of glass covered the streets and smoke from the tear gas could be seen seeping into the air, as coppers had their cars pelted by bricks, bikes and traffic signs.
Officers dressed in riot gear barricaded the entrance to the building and dealt with a fire that had broken out inside. They removed what appeared to be a fuel canister from the property.
Youths were dressed in hooded jackets and some covered their faces with scarves and balaclavas.
Netherlands-based journalist Owen O'Brien shared the footage on X and wrote: 'Rioters break into an entrance at the #Opera.
'Windows are broken and attempts are made to enter. The fire brigade has also left again and cannot extinguish the fire.'
The reporter said the Opera hall had suffered 'extensive damage' because of the violent riots.
Jan van Zanen, mayor of The Hague, authorised police to use tear gas, a spokesman told the Netherlands Times.

Water canons? BULLETS!

Import third world ...
They are not there to assimilate.
They are there for the Muslim conquest.
Diversity is our Greatest Strength !
S hole people create s holes.
So, you left your country, where you weren’t rioting and burning stuff, to come to another country for a better life, and you’re rioting and burning stuff?
Forgive me, if I’m a little bit confused.
Ferals here, ferals there, we see ferals everywhere.
Looks like another “mostly peaceful” event.
Yeah I will chalk that up to naivety with a capital N.
More than a little bit, I would suspect.
Well, this story is The Hague. I say send more bricks.
I guess the Dutch will need to add a new section to Madurodam to celebrate the arrival of the refugees. Just like the oil tanker that has a mini fire boat to extinguish the flames, they can add miniature police to quell the disturbance. Naturally, there will be mosques built to scale.
Cultural diversity on full display.
It sends a better message that you are serious about stopping them and can do a fantastic job in preventing recidivism.
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
