🇫🇷🇪🇺Francia está redefiniendo su estrategia en el Sahel ante la próxima retirada de Mali.

Níger se convertirá en la base principal de las Fuerzas Armadas francesas en la región, actuando conjuntamente con el ejército nigerino. Tienen unos 1000 hombres en la capital junto con otros 300-400 que combaten en la frontera con Malí. Además, se ha aprobado una ayuda para mejorar la infraestructura eléctrica del país. Entre 700-1000 se encuentran combatiendo junto con las Fuerzas Armadas chadianas.

Queda por definir cómo Francia y Europa podrán ayudar a países donde la situación está muy deteriorada tales como Benin, Togo o Costa de Marfil.

🇬🇧France is redefining its strategy in the Sahel because of Mali's upcoming withdrawal.

Niger will become the main base for the French Armed Forces in the region, acting jointly with the Nigerien army. They have about 1,000 men in the capital along with another 300-400 fighting on the border with Mali. In addition, aid has been approved to improve the country's electrical infrastructure. Between 700-1,000 are fighting alongside the Chadian Armed Forces.

It remains to be defined how France and Europe will be able to help countries where the situation is very deteriorated, such as Benin, Togo or the Ivory Coast.

🇫🇷 On this day 233 years ago, the Bastille was stormed. If it only contained seven inmates at the time of its fall, the fortress was seen as a symbol of Royal authority in the centre of Paris.

🇫🇷🚨🎆 BEWARE: POLICE FORCES WILL NOT PROTECT EXIT POINTS AROUND THE CHAMP DE MARS TONIGHT

👉🏻 In a move that can only remind us of the recent fiasco at the Stade de France, the prefect of Police has decided to remove the police protection at the four different checkpoints outside of the Champ de Mars, in Paris.

🔍 What can be the consequences of such a decision? Just like at the Stade de France in May, chances are that thugs will concentrate around those different points.

🔥 If you or your relatives were about to enjoy the firework from the Champ de Mars tonight, be cautious.

🇫🇷⏪ WATCH: Macron whistled at during 2019 Bastille Day's military parade

Macron announces "Turn off your lights" as it becomes clear Russia will not continue providing gas:

"French President Emmanuel Macron warned his country’s people Thursday to prepare for a total cutoff of Russian natural gas by supporting alternatives, having public lights switched off at night and engaging in a period of nationwide energy “sobriety.”

The Russian invasion of Ukraine and ensuing sanctions have aggravated other factors driving up prices for energy and others goods. With no end in sight for the Ukraine war, Macron said, the French should brace themselves for costs to remain high.

“This war will continue,” he said in a televised interview marking France’s national holiday, Bastille Day. “The summer, early autumn will be very hard.”"

🇫🇷👨‍👩‍👦‍👦 37% OF 0-18 YO PEOPLE IN THE REGION OF PARIS ARE NON WHITES.

👳🏿‍♀️ According to INSEE, french offcial statistics institute, 37% of 0-18 years old people in the region of Paris are non white, that excluding 3rd generation of migrants and illegal migrants.

🏙 In big cities, the numbers are much higher with (still 0-18yo population):
- 75% of non whites in La Courneuve
- 72% of non whites in Clichy-Sous-Bois
- 70% of non whites in Aubervilliers
- 60% of non whites in Saint-Lazare ...

🔍 In other regions big cities, the situation is dramatic too (still 0-18yo population):
- 27% of non whites in Limoge (west-center of France)
- 22% of non whites in Angers (west France)

This is the image of the next generations of France.

🔪 French ethnic people express a feeling of insecurity and very tensed atmosphere. Those last 3 days, 4 deadly knife attacks have been reported with several casualties.

🗣 "It's the first time I've been back home in Paris for a year, and, notwithstanding the media coverage, in all my life I've never seen so many stinking, aggressive tramps, enraged, ready-to-fight daggers, or haggard-eyed drug users.
It's terrible. There are three or four of them per street, I feel like everything could explode at any moment, I've never seen that."

"Observed that too... A sick social violence. And the worst is to read the look of some old people... This pain. Some are just dazed and stare into the void. And the horrified look of the tourists in the subway. It hurts the heart."

Can we read on twitter.

💥 With the current situation in Ukraine, the upcoming energy crisis and the very fragile situation of our over indebted state, many people fear that the state cannot pay the social peace anymore and that everything escalate.

The "old-fashioned" intelligence services had succeeded in creating a tight network of "problematic" territories and communities, and in having useful "sensors" to anticipate individual or collective "risky" situations.

Twenty years later, in the absence of enlightened and resolute political decisions, DGSI agents find themselves like firemen or medical and social services: banned from and virtually blind to entire neighborhoods removed from the authority of the state, left to the exclusive control and domination of criminal gangs and salafist militants.

According to the Court of Auditors, an organization that is justly fussy about the use of public money spent on "urban policies", but impartial (because not concerned) with collective security policies, there are 1,514 of these "sensitive neighborhoods" in France today, located in 859 municipalities and comprising a little over 4 million inhabitants...

This means that approximately 6% of the population of France lives outside of the Republic's law.
