(AFP) The French government on Tuesday vowed to bring an end to violence in the usually placid eastern city of Dijon after it was hit by a fourth night of unrest linked to score-settling by members of the Chechen community.
According to police, the incidents appear to have been sparked by an assault this month on a 16-year-old Chechen boy, prompting other members of the community to stage reprisal raids.
Chechens reportedly had travelled to Dijon from all over France and even from neighbouring Belgium and Germany.
Their actions have focused on the low-income district of Gresilles which has a large community of people originally from North Africa.
