2000 race riots in El Ejido, Spain

The 2000 El Ejido riots were a series of racially motivated disturbances that took place from 5 to 7 February 2000 in El Ejido, a town in the province of Almería, Spain. Triggered by the murders of three Spanish citizens by two Moroccan nationals in separate incidents, the unrest quickly escalated into widespread violence targeting the town's large Moroccan migrant community.
