French President Emmanuel Macron has postponed a state visit to Germany following a fourth night of violence in cities across France French interior minister Gerald Darmanin has said: “It’s the republic that will win, not the rioters”
, where rioters looted a gun shop and in French territories overseas including French Guyana, where a 54-year-old died after being hit by a stray bullet.
The previous night 917 people were arrested nationwide, 500 buildings targeted, 2,000 vehicles burned and dozens of stores ransacked. The incident, caught on video, has plunged the country into days of unrest and left President Emanuel Macron facing one of the most serious crises of his leadership since the Yellow Vest protests which started in 2018.
A friend of the family, Mohamed Jakoubi said the rage seen on the streets was fuelled by a sense of injustice after incidents of police violence against minority ethnic communities, many from former French colonies.Mr Macron has denied there is systemic racism In Lyon, France’s third-largest city, a tram was set alight and the police force had to deploy armoured personnel carriers and a helicopter to quell the unrest.
France’s national football team, including international star Kylian Mbappe, has appealed for an end to the violence.
