A riot broke out in The Hague on February 17 after two rival groups of Eritrean migrants clashed with each other.

The rioters reportedly torched police cars and a bus. Visuals showed vehicles in flames and dozens of men on the street. Security officials used tear gas to quell the unrest.

The clashes erupted after a venue where the faction loyal to Eritrea government was holding a meeting was attacked by those who oppose the government.

It was not immediately clear if someone was injured or arrested.
