Some irate youth have this evening attacked some Muslim communities in Abidjan, Rainbowradioonline.com has gathered.
Scores of people were reported injured with many others fleeing from their homes.
Abobo, Angre, Jopougon and other Muslims communities were hard hit.
The clash was following a video received by the irate youth disclosing how some people believed to have been migrants from Ivory coast to Morocco were beaten to pulp.
According to source, the people seen in the video harassing the allege Ivorian migrants were believed to be Muslims of which eventually prompted the youth to seek for revenge by attacking the Muslims communities in Abidjan.
An intervention by the police has proved futile as the military is currently being deployed to manage the crisis.
“Our lives are in danger, people are attacking us in our homes, we urge the government to as early as possible because our children are dying of hunger as we are unable to go out”, a resident told Alfred Kesse, a Ghanaian journalist who is currently residing in Ivory Coast.
Reporting the incident on Frontline on Rainbow Radio 87.5Fm, he said schools and other facilities have been shut due to the attacks.
