Some Problems Run Deep

Unveiling the Complex Realities Behind France's Intense Riots

The riots in France, following the death of a teenager with Algerian and Moroccan roots at the hands of the police, have revealed deep-seated issues with uncontrolled immigration and tension with the Black and Arab communities living in economically marginalized urban areas of the country.
