On March 26, German police raided the Brigade N'Hamedu across six states and also in Denmark, arresting 17 individuals accused of terrorism. This organization is believed to be linked to violent attacks against Eritrean festivals in Germany. The Federal Public Prosecutor's Office describes the group as aiming to overthrow Eritrea's government, with some members viewing violence against German institutions as acceptable. The context of this violence ties back to Eritrea's oppressive regime, which has driven many citizens into exile, especially into Germany, where a significant Eritrean community resides.
According to the Federal Public Prosecutor's Office, the Brigade N'Hamedu is "an internationally networked group whose stated goal is to overthrow the government in Eritrea."
Security authorities have classified the Brigade N'Hamedu as a terrorist organization, and believe members of the group organized violent attacks at various Eritrean festivals in Germany in 2022 and 2023.
