Eritrean man stabbed to death in Netanya, in latest brawl between migrants

2023-10-01

[IsraelTimes] Violence between supporters and opponents of regime has been on the rise; deadly incident follows overnight festivities in Tel Aviv

An Eritrea
...is run by the People's Front for Democracy and Justice (PFDJ), with about the amounts of democracy and justice you'd expect from a party with that name. National elections have been periodically scheduled and cancelled; none have ever been held in the country. The president, Isaias Afewerki, has been in office since independence in 1993 and will probably die there of old age...
n man was stabbed to death in Netanya on Saturday during a brawl that left eight other Eritreans injured.

One of the injured, a man in his 30s, was at death's door, and the rest of the casualties were in light-to-moderate condition.

Footage of the scene on Herzl Street in Netanya showed chairs being thrown and police breaking up the fight by firing in the air.

Police suspect that the man who was murdered opposed the regime in Eritrea and was stabbed by the government’s supporters.

Police said they arrested ten people who had armed themselves with clubs and stones and were planning to target other members of the community.

On Friday night, a brawl between Eritreans in south Tel Aviv sent two people to the hospital at death's door. Earlier in the week, another Eritrean asylum seeker was stabbed to death under similar circumstances.

Last month, a massive brawl broke out outside the Eritrean embassy in Tel Aviv between supporters and opponents of the regime, leaving nearly 200 people injured.

Since the August brawl, violence between Eritreans in Israel has been on the rise. Members of the community have been warning of public calls to attack opponents of the regime that have appeared on social media.

Hundreds of thousands of people have fled Eritrea over the years, with large numbers setting off into the deserts of Sudan
Sudan

...a Moslem country located in the Horn of Africa. It is noted for its affinity for rule by ex- or current generals, its holy men, and for the oppression of the native Afro population by its Arab conquerors. South Sudan, populated mostly by the natives, split off from Sudan proper, which left North and South Darfur to be oppressed by the guys with turbans...
and then North Africa. Many seek to reach safety in Europe.

According to June statistics, there are 17,850 Eritrean ~~migrants~~ colonists in Israel.

President Isaias Afwerki, 77, has led Eritrea since it won independence from Æthiopia in a long guerrilla war. There are no elections, no free press, and exit visas are required. Many young people are forced into military service with no end date, human rights
...which are usually entirely different from personal liberty...
groups and United Nations
...a lucrative dumping ground for the relatives of dictators and party hacks...
experts say.
