PARIS (EJP)--- Kemi Seba, founder of a French black radical and anti-Semitic group calling itself “Tribu Ka”, has been arrested Thursday night by French police in Chartes, in central France, for making racist comments and rebellion against policemen.

The 25-year-old man, who was due Friday to appear before a court with two other people, founded in Paris Tribu Ka in late 2004.

The group was banned in July 2006 by the French government and its website was later shut down after its members descended on a Paris Jewish quarter, wielding baseball bats and shouting anti-Semitic slogans.

More than 20 members of the group walked up and down the crowded Rue des Rosiers, performing Nazi salutes, looking for a fight with the neighbourhood’s Jews, threatening and intimidating them.

Hatred of Jews

Kemi Seba’s personal website was closed because, the judge said at the time, “it was marked with the hatred of Jews on every page". The website refered repeatedly to the "Zionist AIDS".

Tribu Ka advocated the separation of the races and a return to Africa for black people. It described itself as a “mystical political” organisation consisting of African Muslims.

Seba's real name is Stellio Gilles Robert Capochichi and his parents’ roots are in the former French African colony of Benin.

Some observers speculate on whether Tribu Ka may have helped coordinate the suburban riots in France in 2005 wherein thousands of cars were torched following the perceived police-chase deaths of two Paris teenagers of African descent.

After his group was outlawed, Kemir Seba founded a new group, KGS (Group Kemi Seba).
