The Ministry of Information of Eritrea has accused major international agencies, including the Mossad, of being behind the violent violations of order in several countries, including Israel, Norway, Switzerland, Canada, and Sweden. In a statement published on Tuesday, the ministry stated that these agencies are seeking to harm the Eritrean people.
The ministry also mentioned incidents of violence that disrupted national and cultural gatherings of Eritreans abroad. According to their statement, these incidents were orchestrated to “destroy the culture and values” of the Eritrean community. The ministry promised to provide a detailed explanation of the facts later, specifically mentioning that the incidents involved refugees from Eritrea.
In response to the violent events that took place in south Tel Aviv on Saturday, the Eritrean embassy in Tel Aviv issued an official explanation. They claimed that the Eritrean community had made all the necessary preparations to celebrate one of their national holidays, and they had received authorization from Israeli authorities. However, the police also granted permission to a group of hooligans in the same place and on the same day. The embassy stated that the Eritrean community had reliable information about the violence and vandalism intended by this group and had alerted the police.
The Eritrean government claims that the Mossad is behind the riots. They believe that the incidents are part of a new trend driven by external political forces. The embassy emphasized that many of those who portray themselves as political opponents of the Eritrean government are not actually Eritreans.
The Eritrean community in Israel has been known for their peaceful behavior, both in Israel and in other countries where they reside in the diaspora. However, recent incidents in Israel and other nations have raised concerns about external influences impacting the community. The Eritrean embassy in Tel Aviv asserts that these incidents are politically motivated and orchestrated by external forces with a hidden agenda.
Overall, the Ministry of Information of Eritrea and the Eritrean embassy in Tel Aviv are pointing fingers at major international agencies and blaming them, particularly the Mossad, for the violent violations of order in various countries. They believe that these incidents are aimed at disrupting the national and cultural gatherings of Eritreans abroad and damaging the Eritrean community’s culture and values.
