Editing Xenophobia (section)

==== Ivory Coast ====
[[Ivory Coast]] has an history of ethnic tribal hatred and religious intolerance. In addition to the many victims among the various tribes of the northern and southern regions of the country that have perished in the ongoing conflict, [[White people|white]] foreigners residing or visiting Ivory Coast have also been subjected to violent attacks. According to a report by Human Rights Watch, the Ivory Coast government is guilty of fanning ethnic hatred for its own political ends.<ref>[http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/Africa/1932930.stm Ivory Coast "fanning ethnic hatred"] BBC News. {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060529154708/http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/africa/1932930.stm |date=29 May 2006 }}</ref>

In 2004, the [[Congrès Panafricain des Jeunes et des Patriotes|Young Patriots]] of Abidjan, a strongly [[nationalist]] organisation, rallied by the state media, plundered possessions of foreign nationals in [[Abidjan]]. Calls for violence against whites and non-Ivorians were broadcast on national radio and TV after the Young Patriots seized control of its offices. Rapes, beatings, and murders of persons of European and Lebanese descent followed. Thousands of expatriates and white or ethnic Lebanese Ivorians fled the country. The attacks drew international condemnation.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2004/11/19/wapp19.xml&sSheet=/news/2004/11/19/ixnewstop.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071113163822/http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=%2Fnews%2F2004%2F11%2F19%2Fwapp19.xml&sSheet=%2Fnews%2F2004%2F11%2F19%2Fixnewstop.html |url-status=dead |archive-date=13 November 2007 |title=News |work=The Daily Telegraph |access-date=17 June 2015 }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.abc.net.au/news/newsitems/200411/s1242699.htm |title=Europeans flee Ivory Coast violence. 13 November 2004.
