The organization also rerouted three other tram routes and at least two more buses so they would not travel into areas where conflicts have flared up in the past, like Plein ’40-’45 and Mercatorplein.

They are angry about what has happened recently,” the Imam told AT5. Many feel that the violent incidents in the city in the past week are judged too one-sidedly. “But after we spoke to them, they went home. We know from experience that this works. It was the same during the riots during the World Cup.”

He pointed out to them that their father, mother, nephew could have been on the tram set alight on Monday. “That shouldn’t matter. There are people in it,” he said. “We also warned: now the police have their hands full with you, but soon they will have time to study the footage. And if they see you, they will call you in. If you wanted a nice job later, like at the municipality or ministry, you won’t get it now.”

Trump’s victory could add 4bn tonnes of CO2 to US emissions by 2030. Despite owning an electric car company, Musk is now a dangerous impediment to climate action.”
