Eritreans in Israel: Unrest against oppressive regime

Riots erupted in South Tel Aviv as Eritrean protesters clashed with pro-government supporters and police during an event organized by the Eritrean Embassy. Protesters accuse the embassy of monitoring and tracking refugees, while ongoing disputes over refugee and asylum status with the Israeli government have also fueled tensions. The Eritrean regime, often referred to as the "North Korea of Africa," has a history of human rights abuses, including mandatory indefinite conscription and repression of political opponents. Reports have emerged of the embassy sending spies disguised as refugees to extort money from Eritrean asylum seekers.
