Serious racial clashes in Palma.
In Palma de Mallorca work is underway to calm the effects of an outbreak of racial violence in the impoverished neighborhood of Son Gotleu following the death of a young Nigerian man there last week. Confrontations between tens of sub-Saharan Africans and Gypsy clans over the dealing of drugs have come in the wake of the death of Efosa Okosun, who fell from a fifth-floor apartment on to the sidewalk. Friends of the man say he was thrown by two Gypsy men who were chasing him.
