i have an essay about whether the french gov. is responsible for the riots that happened their?why?

Answer 1

I assume you mean the riots w/in the last year or so.

My understanding based on what I've read is....
- Arab immigrants have not been treated "fairly" there
- Unemployment is rather high for those people and education etc. is lacking.
- They are discriminated against
- There was an incident that triggered it -- some crime which I dont remember at the moment.
- It has been brewing for years. Arab and Muslim immigrants have been in France for a long long time, its nothing really new
