People with lighters are pictured after a mourning march in Koethen, eastern Germany, on September 9, 2018. German officials pleaded for calm on September 9, 2018, after two Afghans were detained on suspicion of killing a German man in a fight, fuelling fears of fresh anti-foreigner unrest after racist violence shook the city of Chemnitz. The two suspects were taken into custody after a 22-year-old man died in a dispute on a playground on September 8, 2018 in Koethen, like Chemnitz located in the former communist east. Local police and prosecutors stressed that "the concrete circumstances of the event are not yet known" and that all lines of inquiry remained open. / AFP PHOTO / Odd ANDERSEN
