Communal clashes reported

    ABIDJAN

    About 200 people from the Fulani ethnic group in Guinea-Bissau have been forced from their homes in Suzana, some 140 km north of Bissau, following communal clashes with Feloupes, who consider themselves indigenous to the area, AFP reported. The clashes erupted on 29 May over the building of a mosque for which the Fulani community had obtained permission from the
    area's administrator but, the Feloupes claimed, not from their traditional leader, AFP said.
