Violent Protests Engulf Eritrean Cultural Festival in Sweden
Anti-Eritrean government protesters set fire to booths and caused a riot at a cultural festival in Sweden. No immediate reports of injuries, but several people were hurt. The festival, criticized for allegedly supporting the Eritrean government, was held in Stockholm and has been an annual event since the 1990s. Eritrea is known for its repressive regime, with millions fleeing conditions such as forced military conscription.
