The Eritrean community in Switzerland is divided. Opposition members and government loyalists are irreconcilably opposed to each other. Ahead of Eritrean Independence Day on May 24, the authorities are nervous and recommend that communities report all Eritrea festivals. Government supporters like Yohannes Berhane say: "These are normal meeting places for us." Opposition members like Tsegu counter: "We don't want these festivals to take place anymore." There, propaganda is spread and money is collected for a dictator. 20 Minuten "Reporter!n" immerses itself in the Eritrean community around the holiday and listens to both sides. In the video report you can see how opposition members and government loyalists face each other.
