16 injured in mass brawl between African migrants in Calais
‘A massive brawl involving at least a hundred African migrants from Eritrea and Ethiopia broke out in northern France’s port city of Calais, which was once home to the notorious ‘Jungle’ refugee camp.
The fighting between Eritreans and Ethiopians started around 1:45pm local time (11:45 GMT), France Info reports, citing the local prefecture. The clashes erupted on a road leading to the neighboring town of Gravelines, where free meals were being distributed to the migrants by various charity associations.
Exactly how many migrants were involved in the fighting is still unclear, as France Info and the 20 Minutes daily put the number at around 100, while La Voix du Nord reports that some 200 people participated in the brawl.’
