French Crescendo of Destruction: From Paris center to the Provinces

In spite of the calls for calm, violence continues (With AFP.) [ November 06, 2005 ] The destruction created by the riots in the French suburbs has grown louder and louder for 10 days and reached the peak of 1295 vehicles burned and 312 people arrested in the night of Saturday to Sunday, according to the final assessment of the general direction of the national police force. The day before, the final assessment of the disorders made account of 897 burnt vehicles. The calls for calm however had multiplied Saturday. One of them emanated from the parents of the two Clichy-under-Wood young people (Seine-Saint-Denis) whose death by electrocution on October 27 had been used as setting off the riots. Sign of the will of firmness posted by the government vis-a-vis with the rioters, seven helicopters provided with powerful projectors and of video cameras had been mobilized in the night to dissuade the troublemakers. But neither these new material means, nor the reinforcements as police officers seemed to intimidate the arsonists, who operated in the heart of the capital, in the 3rd district where four cars were burned by a Flame Thrower while a half-dozen of vehicles were in flames in 17th. Thirty-two private vehicles were set fire to and destroyed by fire in downtown Paris in the night of Saturday to Sunday, and thirty people were arrested, indicated Sunday the prefecture of police force of Paris (PP). Among these thirty arrested people, eleven were "in flagrante delicto with FlameThrowers", according to this same source. The night was also marked by violent confrontations one in Evreux, where the shopping centre of the district of the Madeleine, was seriously damaged and where young demonstrators, of which some were armed with bats, ran up against the police officers, according to the observations and testimonys collected on the spot. These confrontations resulted in casualties on both sides, according to these testimonys. The prefecture was not able to provide an assessment. Elsewhere in province, the fires of vehicles were particularly numerous, nearly 80, in the departments of North, Aisne and Oise, according to prefectures'. In Toulouse, around fifty of voluntary fires whose 40 burned cars had been raised and ten interpellations. In Avignon, 11 cars were aimed. In Parisian suburbs, many buildings, two schools of Grigny and MacDo of Corbeil-Essonnes smashed by a car-ram, and vehicles (71) blazed up in the Essonne, where the Minister of Interior Department Nicolas Sarkozy as a sign of support went for the police officers. In Evry, the minister in particular met challenged teenagers who were to be given to their parents. Around fifty of people were arrested in this department. "To burn a school, it is unacceptable but that which put fire it is Sarkozy", maintained Saturday evening a relative of pupil of Grigny. The gymnasium Armand Desmet, "more affluent" of Clichy-under-Wood (Seine-Saint-Denis), entirely burned in the night, a fire of criminal origin, one learned near the municipality. In Athis-Mons, two people were slightly injured by inhalation and a hundred evacuated in the night after the fire of a Sonacotray hearth. In addition, at least 80 burnt vehicles and 20 arrests were recorded in Yvelines, respectively 90 and 67 as a Seine-Saint-Denis, 33 and 32 in Valley-of Oise. In Mureaux, about thirty young people perched on the roof of two towers of the district of the Musicians, threw all kinds of projectiles on the police force at the beginning of evening, under the illumination of a helicopter.

The foreign media continue to look with concern to develop these violent protests in the French suburbs, which are often socio-economic places of segregation for a population as a majority of immigrant origin.
