Deportees condemn 'racist' forced evacuation
BAMAKO, Aug 22, 2006 (AFP) - An association of Malian deportees Tuesday denounced last week's forced eviction of hundreds of African immigrants from a squat outside Paris as an act of racism.
"It is again an act of racism by the French Minister of Interior Nicolas Sarkozy," Ousmane Diarra, president of the Association of Malian Deportees, told AFP.
"We strongly condemn this barbaric act and ask the immediate re-housing of all the families," said Diarra whose organisation was formed in 1996 after the mass expulsion of Africans without permits from Paris.
