29 January 2013 - Today, a few hooligans attempted a copycat attack
similar to recent incidents in Europe. Their attempt to enter the
Embassy of Eritrea and "occupy" it was foiled.
The monkey see, monkey do, act was foiled by a swift combined efforts
of the Embassy staff, law enforcement and the vigilant members of the
Eritrean Community in DC area.
Three main culprits were arrested and the rest were documented (their
personal information recorded) by the police department. This group
of disruptive individuals was given a warning not to come close to
the Embassy premise, lest they risk being arrested for trespassing.
Many members of the Eritrean community in the Washington Metropolitan
area showed in a matter of minutes ready to defend the Embassy and
its staff.
It is to be recalled, that the very same group of people attempted to
disrupt a peaceful community meeting in September 2012 and were
humiliated by the Eritrean community members and Arlington Police
department.
