HANOVER, GERMANY- A riot ensued yesterday morning when residents of a migrant ‘tent city’ with a population of 7,500 burned down their only shelters. The migrants, who are mostly young and able-bodied men from a number of Muslim countries in the Middle East, claimed they were insulted by the labels on water bottles with the logo of Red Cross, the organization that has distributed water to their camp. Having confused the symbol of the international humanitarian group with a religious symbol of Christianity, the protesting migrants ignited the tents that the nation of Germany has given them on the verge of winter.
The arriving firefighters braved stones, glass bottles, and other hard objects thrown at them by the angered migrants as they they attempted to put out the fires that threatened to make the attackers homeless.
