Envoys from African nations in the Indian capital, Delhi, have condemned the handling of recent attacks on Nigerian students in the city.


In a statement, the African Heads of Mission said the attacks were "xenophobic and racial".

Indian authorities had failed to "sufficiently condemn" the attacks or take "visible deterring measures", the envoys added.

The students were attacked last month in Greater Noida, close to Delhi.

Five Nigerian students were attacked by crowds, while another was beaten by a mob inside a shopping mall.
