France plunged deeper into turmoil today as the police killing of a teenager sparked a “war” that engulfed the nation.
Riot cops were forced to flee from gunfire, while a mob, fueled by rage, looted a gun shop and seized hunting rifles.
The situation escalated as police deployed armored vehicles and heavily armed paramilitary units to confront the gangs responsible for widespread devastation, the Daily Sun reported.
The chaos is expected to intensify following the funeral of Nahel Merzouk, the 17-year-old whose shooting triggered the crisis.
Thousands of mourners attended the Muslim service for the French Algerian youth, who was allegedly “executed” with a single shot while driving his car.
Tensions reached a boiling point as anti-police sentiments soared. A leaked police intelligence report described the situation as a war against savage hordes of vermin.
The Interior Ministry acknowledged that France had not witnessed such nationwide unrest since World War II, highlighting the gravity of the situation.
As the violence persisted for four consecutive nights, Macron’s authority appeared to diminish, while the number of arrests climbed to 1,300 by early morning.
