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.

My story?
Diversity is our strength.
The chaos began at a field in west Edmonton, where organizers had planned events for the annual Eritrean Festival.
The long-running festival celebrates the history and culture of the East African nation, but both organizers and police say they were aware of the potential for violence. Other Eritrean festivals in Europe, the United States and Toronto this year were marked by clashes involving blue-shirted protesters opposing the Eritrean government.
Just wait until Monday for the Calgary-Edmonton Canadian Football League game. Those rival fans will show the Eritreans what a REAL riot looks like!
Yeah! That’s the ticket!
Can’t we just get beyond Thinderdome?
Ya’ know, I do wonder what the birth rate in Canada is for Canadians whose families have been in the US or Canada a couple generations or more? Heck, throw in the Filipinos, native Europeans, etc.
I’ll bet that the discouragement of the “native” population having kids is a big part of Canada needing wholesale immigrantion.
Nothing against sensible immigration either! My wife is a Filipino and a valuable / contributing member of our community. Maybe more so than me, these days!
They need a good old ass kicking contest with Eritreans supplying the asses.
A couple of summers ago, rivial groups of immigrants from the Congo went at each other with baseball bats etc.
The place: Lindewood Park, Fargo, N.D.
It’s true but the Canadian version is people start milling around and then it turns into a brawl and a hockey game breaks out.🏒🏒🏒🏒🥅🥅

RE: Where’s Ogie Oglethorpe when you need him?
I thought about Slap Shot when I walked past the theater where my late wife and I saw it. Now the building is an upscale market like an even more expensive Whole Foods.
“The very concept of a nation founded by European settlers is offensive to me. Old stock White Canadians are an unpleasant relic, and quite frankly, replaceable. And we will replace them.”
Thanks, Castreau. Your immigration policies are working out wonderfully!
TUCK FRUDEAU!
CANADUH OUT OF ALBERTA!
ALBERTA OUT OF CANADUH!
Israel is deporting violent illegal aliens. If you were a rational actor, you would support this. Grievance addled antisemites aren’t rational actors.
Israel has been condemned for repatriating fake refugees. Put away the grievance glasses.
