On Saturday evening, violence broke out between rival Eritrean groups in northeast Calgary, halting traffic in the area and landing 11 people in the hospital. An estimated 150 people took part in the brawl, most brandishing 2x4s, pipes, and other makeshift weapons.
The confrontation, which has been linked to ongoing rifts within the Eritrean community in Calgary, is one of many that have taken place in cities across Canada and the world as the African nation marks 30 years since it gained independence from Ethiopia.
According to CTV News, the fight took place in a parking lot near Falconridge Boulevard shortly after 5 p.m. Young men rushed towards one another, weapons drawn, and before long, the situation devolved into chaos. It wasn't until 9 p.m. that authorities were finally able to clear the area and restore order.
