Calais migrants: Five shot in mass brawl



At least five migrants have been shot in the French port city of Calais, after a mass brawl between Afghans and Eritreans.

Four Eritrean youths aged 16-18 are in a critical condition and have been rushed to a local hospital for surgery, AFP news agency reports.

A fifth man was taken to nearby Lille due to the severity of his injuries.

At least 13 more people were wounded due to "blows from iron bars", the local prosecutor's office said.
What led to the violence?

The cause of the clashes is not yet clear but the initial fight on the city's southern outskirts broke out in the afternoon, where migrants had been queuing for food handouts.

Around 100 Eritreans and some 30 Afghans were caught up in the violence, which lasted almost two hours and started when an Afghan fired shots, AFP said.

@Litmus Are you asking this sort of question? Have you stopped to ask why this clash happened in the first place? Now,this is what I think: This is a gang-related brawl. Something having to do with organized crime,in my opinion. That should be part of the explanation as to how they 've got the firearms. BTW,have you watched that CNN documentary that exposed how organized crime syndicates across Europe recruit vulnerable teenage migrants for clandestine drug deals and gun-running? It is an eye-opener,I tell you. When I saw this particular report,I knew some organized crime sh!t[pardon my french] is up in those areas.

[/quote/] How the Afghans got the guns? Pistols. Maybe. When the Paris attacks happened,I got to learn something new from an analyst on Aljazeera. According to the analyst in question,after the Yugoslav Wars thousands of light and small arms flooded Europe and are now ready to fall into the wrong hands. See?
