Over 700,000 Rally Around France After Attacks by Nobody: 10:07pm On Jan 10, 2015




More than 700,000 people have taken part in rallies
across France after three days of terror that claimed
17 innocent lives, says French Interior Minister
Bernard Cazeneuve.

Around 80,000 gathered in Toulouse, 40,000 in Pau,
30,000 in Nantes, 23,000 in Nice, 22,000 in Orleans
and 20,000 in Besancon, southwest of Paris,
according to officials.

It comes ahead of a march of unity in Paris on
Sunday which is expected to draw huge crowds and
will be attended by world leaders, including Prime
Minister David Cameron and Israeli counterpart
Benjamin Netanyahu.

Mr Cazeneuve, has said the government will take
"all measures" to ensure the march is safe.

The country's defence ministry has said it is sending
another 500 soldiers into the greater Paris area,
meaning there are now some 1,350 troops there.
There will also be police marksmen on roofs.
Security forces have been deployed around the
capital, guarding places of worship and tourist sites.
In a sombre speech after the sieges had been
brought to an end, French President Francois
Hollande said: "I call on all the French people to rise
up this Sunday, together, to defend the values of
democracy, freedom and pluralism to which we are
attached."

Brothers Said and Cherif Kouachi attacked the
offices of the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo on
Wednesday, shooting dead 12 people in
France's deadliest terror attack in decades.
The pair then went on the run, and were eventually
killed after a two-day manhunt.

Amedy Coulibaly, a jihadist gunman who said he
had worked with the brothers, was also killed by
police after killing four hostages at a kosher grocery
shop in an eastern suburb of Paris.
A day earlier he shot and killed a policewoman
in Montrouge, just south of Paris.

Hayat Boumeddiene, 26, who was identified along
with Coulibaly as a suspect in the killing of a police
officer on Thursday, remains on the run.

Jewish groups planned to hold a vigil after sunset on Saturday to mourn the four people killed at the
supermarket.

Your point exactly.That the citizens shouldn't stand up against terrorism.
Re: Over 700,000 Rally Around France After Attacks by panafrican(m): 3:01pm On Jan 11, 2015
My point is : A French citizen's life is not worthy more than the life of an African.
When France engages in state terrorism to support rebels / Jihadist to butcher hundreds of thousands of Africans, why should I as an African bother about what is happening there now?

I remember this like yesterday! French terrorism on African soil. No west African country denounced this, instead they brought support to France to continue the abuse. Today some African nations such as Mali, Senegal, Niger, Gabon and Tchad walking in support for French Unity!!!! What about all these dead we had by the same fault of french terrorism in our continent? Who is going to walk for them They have no shame these KWASIA mtchewwww
