In a bizarre act, New York Times, the American news media company, failed to report thousands of muslim immigrants burning down and looting France since last 4 days, instead took their side and blamed French people for the riots after 17 year old Nahel M, 17 year old, who was fatally shot by French police for illegally driving a car and failing to stop when asked to.
New York Times blamed the French people instead of Muslims immigrants for the riots and said, "it as a story of failed integration; a shortcoming of a social model that worked well for a long time time but has been unable to resolve the problems of lost hope and poor schools in the suburban areas where many immigrants live; of the tensions flaring into hatred between young Muslims and the police; of government promises to restore social cohesion that are never fulfilled."
The Algerian Foreign Ministry issued a statement saying it had learned “with shock and consternation of the brutal and tragic death of the young Nahel and the particularly troubling and worrying circumstances in which this happened.”
Widespread incidents of violence, including arson, looting, and vandalism, have unfolded across the country.
The unrest escalated to the extent that even the largest public library in Marseille fell victim to the flames, symbolising the loss of knowledge and cultural heritage. The city's cultural resources have suffered a severe blow due to this act of destruction, reflecting the deepening crisis of the ongoing unrest.
the French Interior Ministry announced that it is mobilizing 40,000 police officers to address the riots that have spread across the nation. Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin denounced the night of violence, describing it as unusually intense.
The number of arrests made during the unrest has significantly increased compared to previous operations, reflecting the government's determination to take a firm stance against the rioters, some of whom are believed to be Muslims.
According to the interior minister, a total of 667 individuals were arrested, with 307 of those apprehensions occurring in the Paris region alone. The Paris police headquarters confirmed these figures.
