France: African Migrants Fights Afghan Migrants In Calais Riot

migrant-calais-britain

In the latest unrest among refugees in France trying to get into the United Kingdom through Calais by storming lorries bound for Britain, a fight ensued between African migrants and Afghan migrants.

About two hundred migrants from both camps were involved in the battle that required the attention of over a hundred French riot police to stop the violence that left seven men slightly injured after the African and Afghan migrants attacked each other with sticks and stones.

“It was a big fight involving 200 migrants. We have had ones of this size before,” said Nicolas Honoré, a Calais police official.

The battles started on Friday evening and lasted until around 3am on Satruday the 3rd of January 2015.

“Some of them had been drinking, especially the Africans, which can cause tensions with the Afghans who do not drink,” Christian Salome, a worker with a group that provides meals to the migrants told AFP news agency.
