The recent wave of rioting and looting in cities across France has brought attention to longstanding social issues within the country.
The violent protests, triggered by the killing of a 17-year-old by police, have led to a significant impact on both domestic and international fronts, to which the French president canceled an important trip abroad to settle domestic issues.
The violent protests serve as a potent reminder of the persistent poverty, discrimination, unemployment, and lack of opportunities in neighborhoods where many residents trace their roots to former French colonies.
These socio-economic disparities create a breeding ground for frustration and anger, particularly among marginalized communities.
