SENEGAL’S President Abdoulaye Wade has urged Africans to take a measured response to fighting racism outside their continent, and focus more effort on resolving ethnic problems at home. “A Burkinabe in Ivory Coast is being treated in a way that a black person would not be treated in Europe,” Wade told participants at the opening of a three-day conference in Dakar on fighting racism, intolerance and xenophobia. His speech got a cold reception from some 500 delegates, mainly from non-governmental organisations. – AFP
