Riots erupted as two rival groups of Eritreans clashed with each other and then with police officials in The Hague in the Netherlands on February 17. Several cars and police vehicles were set on fire near the Opera House building around the Fruitweg. To quell the unrest, police used tear gas to disperse the rioters who threw stones and bricks at them, the Associated Press reported. Images and videos on social media showed dozens of men in a street clashing with the police.
