THE HAGUE, Netherlands — Rioting broke out between two rival groups of Eritreans in the Netherlands on Saturday night, police said. Officers used tear gas in an attempt to quell the unrest in The Hague as rioters torched police cars and a bus.

Images from the scene showed vehicles in flames and dozens of men in the street, some throwing rocks.

“It got seriously out of hand,” The Hague Municipality spokesman Robin Middel said.

They could have done this back in Eritrea. Why did they come to The Netherlands to do this?!

European “liberals” were so stupid. “Free money” and “asylum” rules so loose as to make a huge wave has made Many European nations into chaotic messes. And the Lefty types will surely start the “racist” trope when local Dutch simply say “no more.” Deportations are well in order.

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 Isaias.

In his first few years Isaias was hailed as a new type of African president with then-US President Bill Clinton referring to him as a “renaissance African leader”. However, in 1997, a new constitution was drawn up, but never enacted, and elections were cancelled.[20][18] In an April 2000 speech at Princeton University, Isaias said that “constitutionality, political pluralism and free and fair elections are naturally the best institutional tools” for achieving economic prosperity given the political and cultural realities of a specific country.[21] However, a parliamentary election scheduled in 2001 was later postponed indefinitely.
