PARAMARIBO, Suriname — At least seven foreign migrants are dead and hundreds more homeless after rioting and attacks against migrant workers in Suriname left a border town in ashes, a Brazilian priest aiding victims said Sunday.
The Rev. Jose Vergilio said the riots in Albina, which began late Thursday after a Brazilian allegedly stabbed a local man to death, have made the area uninhabitable for an estimated 300 people who fled.
Authorities say at least 20 Brazilian women were raped in the tumult, and all Brazilians and many Chinese living in the area were evacuated.
