German police have said at least 22 officers were injured and dozens of people were detained during unrest at an Eritrean cultural event in the western city of Giessen.
Police said bottles were thrown and smoke bombs were ignited as groups of Eritreans opposed to the African nation’s autocratic ruler tried to force their way to the venue.
About 1,000 officers, a water cannon and helicopters have been deployed in the city, which is about 30 miles north of Frankfurt.
Police spokesman Christopher Pfaff urged the public to avoid the centre of Giessen while the operation is ongoing.
Authorities had tried to ban the festival after similar unrest occurred there last year, but a court overturned the order.
The event was organised by a group considered close to the government of Eritrean President Isaias Afwerki.
Tens of thousands of people have fled Eritrea for Europe, many alleging they were mistreated by Mr Afwerki’s government.

AFD polling at 22% and that is in 2nd place, also calling for orderly dissolution of the EU.
Will be interesting to see how this follows on, already other parties there saying they need to stand together to stop the right wing party

BERLIN — German police said at least 22 officers were injured and dozens of people were detained Saturday during unrest at an Eritrean cultural event in the western city of Giessen. Police said bottles were thrown and smoke bombs were ignited as groups of Eritreans opposed to the African nation’s autocratic ruler tried to force their way to the venue. About 1,000 officers, a water cannon and helicopters are deployed in the city, which is about 50 kilometers (30 miles) north of Frankfurt. Police spokesman Christopher Pfaff urged the public to avoid the center of Giessen while the operation is ongoing. apnews.com/article/germany-eritrea-festival-unrest-violence-police-giessen-4046d70b8d79a60bb9e1f7a89ce39243Tbh, this sort of thing is routine in Germany. It's just not widely reported, the EU like this sort of thing hushed up. |

Good luck to the Alternative for Germany. They're a far-right group. No surprise that that the idiot who wants to reintroduce workhouses supports them. |

A German far-righter describes Germany's relationship with the UK as 'historically good' and you idiots lap it up. What could possibly top that? Maybe, another of Jonksy's podcasts from that bloke in his mum's living room  |

I agree, she's very good hopefully she has a brilliant future in politics. And yes we could do with someone like her in this country to shake the left wing Tories up. |

Einy, read up on Dr Alice Weidel, she's very switched on. To rubbish her as a 'far righter' you do little other than to put your ignorance on display. How's about you read up on the AFD first? I may not have written their manifesto but I am very aware of AfD. I am also aware that parties like AfD thrive when majorities are ignored. The EU are slowly writing their own eulogy, you will of course rubbish this, to be expected. |

"It is clear that without reforms the EU cannot go on."
"Where is your strategy? You have none".
"Let's start with exit article 50, completely vague".
"The only specific information is how to deal with renegades, with traitors".
"According to Article 218 they are to be treated like any other third-state".
It's not her who is "far right" it's the EU.
Isn't it? It's a xenophobic racist Commission run oligarchy.
