Immigrant youths march through Paris
Hundreds of African youths marched in Paris today, a presented a list of 20,000 complaints to authorities.
The anniversary of last year's uprising of French immigrants is fast approaching.
"The context is still the same, nothing has changed. So the situation is propitious for other events like last year," Samir Mihi, co-founder of the AC-Le Feu group that collected the grievances from immigrants all over France told reporters.
The head of the National Assembly refused to meet with the group, or accept their complaints.
Many streets in Paris are blocked by vans and riot police, who are scared of another uprising. Typically, they answer the perceived "threat" with violence, instead of responding to the discrimination, poverty and unemployment that lead to the first uprising to begin with!
"I'm worried because not only has the French society's attitude not changed but I think it has even worsened," Claude Dilain, mayor of Clichy-sous-Bois told reporters.
Look for another French uprising ... coming soon!
