Violent Protests Rock France After Teen's Death, Cars Burnt, 800 Arrested (Pics) by WriterNig: 4:23pm On Jun 30, 2023 |
With violent and fiery protests gripping Paris and other cities across 🇫🇷 France in the wake of the fatal police shooting of a teenage boy, chaos, destruction and confrontations have led to curfews in some towns around the capital. 40,000 police officers have been mobilized on Friday in an effort to head off widespread urban rioting and looting. Bus and tram services faced disruptions with a nationwide shutdown ordered for 9 p.m. on Friday to try to stem another night of violence. What’s happening in France right now? Areas within some of France’s major cities have erupted in violence for several successive nights after a teenager named Nahel Merzouk, reportedly of Algerian descent, was fatally shot by police — an incident caught on video. Confrontations between police and protesters began on the night of June 27 in the Parisian suburb of Nanterre, where Merzouk was shot, and have since spread to other parts of the capital and several other cities. More than 800 people were arrested the night of June 29, as outrage continued to intensify. Merzouk’s death appears to have become a flashpoint for anger about racial inequality in France and claims of police discrimination. Buildings, vehicles and debris have been set alight during the turmoil. France’s president, Emmanuel Macron, has been holding crisis talks amid concerns that the country could see a replay of violence in 2005 that led to a state of emergency. Which cities are affected? Protests began in Nanterre, a suburb of northwestern Paris’ wider metropolitan area. Subsequently there have been protests in other areas around the capital: Bezons, Gennevilliers, Garges-lès-Gonesse, Asnières-sur-Seine, Montreuil, Neuilly-sur-Marne, Clamart and Meudon. Further out, Trappes, Clergy, Guyancourt and Vigneux-sur-Seine have also been affected. These are all beyond the “Periphique” ring road that encircles the central Paris “arrondissements,” where most of the main tourist attractions and accommodations are located. Elsewhere in France, Elite RAID police have also been deployed to key tourist cities Marseille and Bordeaux in the south, as well as the northern cities of Lille — a stop for the Eurostar train from London — and Roubaix.

Wow The word peace is becoming too expensive for this planet 🌍 I congratulate Nigerians for showing maturity in handling some of our internal issues. I think the French citizens needs tutorial from us on how to suffer and smile maturely 🚶♀️🚶♀️🚶♀️👩🦯👩🦯👩🦯 Modified: The protest was triggered due the pension bill by President Macron, raising the retirement ago from 62 yrs to 64 yrs . The protesters are insisting that they don’t want to work for extra 2 years before retirement 26 Likes |

seunmsg: Ogbeni, rest! Violent protesters vandalized public properties across many Nigerian states that witnessed the protest. However, the attention is on Lagos because Lagosians started the protest, Lagos is home to the major media houses, and soldiers killed harmless protesters in Lagos. There are several states where people have been massacred in Nigeria but they get little or no attention because those ugly events and killings are underreported in the mainstream media. 35 Likes 3 Shares |

Muslims are protesting for Human rights in France. What an irony! Can they do that in Saudi Arabia? Can they do that Qatar? Can they do that in Iran? Can they do that even in Algeria where they come from? The other day one of them entered a school and stabbed a child. Did they protest? I hope France nips this menace in the bud before they take root. 38 Likes 4 Shares |

foolish headless mobs wey burn BRT, vandalise properties wey worth millions of naira over 'police extortion of youths' dey accuse people wey dey protest for France over 'fatally shooting of a teenager, caught on camera'. There should be campaign against WOKENESS, it is destroying the thinking faculty of many people. Majority of the so called Nigerian youths lack confidence, they can't think for themselves, they rely on which side the social media belongs to and they follow gullibly. SMH 98 Likes |
