The patrol, under the brigade command "Granatieri di Sardegna", responsible for the grouping, managed the presence of about thirty demonstrators, of Afghan nationality, standing in front of the embassy waiting to be received for problems on documents and residence permits.
After a long wait, Afghan citizens began to take aggressive postures and snatch notices posted outside the embassy. Promptly the military on surveillance service, belonging to the 3rd Bersaglieri regiment of Capo Teulada (CA), requested the intervention of the police and intervened with crowd management techniques to isolate the most troubled elements and with the collaboration of a carabinieri patrol, which arrived on the spot, managed to restore order, avoiding the deterioration of the situation.
