Unrest erupted during an Eritrean cultural festival in Stuttgart, Germany, leaving dozens injured, including 26 police officers. About 200 protesters gathered before the event, throwing stones and bottles at police officers and event participants. This incident is the latest in a series of clashes related to Eritrean cultural events in Germany and beyond, underscoring the division within the Eritrean diaspora between government supporters and opponents. The festival, organized by groups considered close to Eritrean President Isaias Afwerki’s government, has faced opposition from Eritrean exiles who have fled to Europe, alleging mistreatment by the Eritrean government. City officials vowed to prevent similar conflicts in the future.
