"This won't calm down." Brussels under fire with shootings

Observador2 September 2026 at 12:26

Armed gangs are trying to dominate drug-selling points in the city of Brussels, resulting in successive shootings in the heart of Europe. The violence situation in the Belgian capital has been escalating, affecting central urban areas.

The Belgian government responded by mobilizing military to the city in an attempt to control the wave of violence. However, the situation remains tense and difficult to contain, as indicated by the article's title: "This won't calm down."

The gravity of the situation is evidenced by the presence of children as young as 12 years old carrying war weapons on the streets of Brussels, which illustrates the depth of the security problem affecting the European capital.

The article suggests that the measures taken so far will not be sufficient to stop the escalation of drug-related violence in the city.
