Violent Protests Rock Eritrean Festival in Stockholm, Leaving Dozens Injured

More than 50 people were injured and dozens detained in Stockholm after protesters against the Eritrean government stormed an event organized by regime supporters. The anti-government demonstrators broke through a police barrier, setting fire to booths and tearing down tents. Police detained around a hundred people and opened an investigation into violent rioting and arson. At least 52 people required medical attention, with 15 taken to the hospital. Sweden is home to a large Eritrean community, and the festival has been criticized for allegedly supporting the Eritrean government.
