Civil unrest? Cumbersome if you follow several European TVs, riots if you watch CNN or Skynews. Anglo-saxon press and Murdoch have an agenda.
I am not negating the images, but these destructions are the fact of teenagers (young teenagers 13-15 years) competing to prove themselves: this is new. They have blogs and write about their plans on it.
That said the French way of integrating people is known to be unefficient for more than 30 years: people on social help are parked in "cites" resembling rabbit cages at some distance of the cities.
Expansion towards Belgium and Germany have no ground but imitation.
Well, if someone could explain the unrest and come with a solution to get these kids back to school and off the streets...
