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. http://news.sky.com/story/1405482/over-700000-rally-across-france-after-attacks |

French soldiers shooting unarmed African men, women and children in Cote d'Ivoire in 2004 leaving Hundreds civilians killed and tens of thousands wounded. Those civilians were blocking French army tanks from having access to the residence of then president Gbagbo. The French soldiers were attempting to overthrow President Gbagbo and put in power the tribal Muslim leader Allassane Ouattara. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XmTWIuIbasU 2 Likes |

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? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BFwpkiKPoUs 2 Likes |
