Wave of Violence Linked to Immigration, Islam and Drugs Sweeps France
A wave of violence linked to immigration, Islamic extremism and drugs has swept France in recent weeks as police come under attack from hundreds of armed and organised young men. Gavin Mortimer in the Telegraph has the details.
A wave of violence has swept the country in recent weeks, what the mayor of Limoges described this weekend as “urban guerrilla warfare”. His city in central France is the latest to be ransacked. Nine police officers were wounded as they clashed with more than 100 young men armed with Molotov cocktails, iron bars and baseball bats.
Émile Roger Lombertie, the centre-Right mayor of Limoges, said this was not a case of bored youths letting off steam. “They’re organised, structured, there’s a plan,” he said.
A particularly troubling aspect of the violence in Limoges was the random targeting of vehicles, including cars containing families with children. Although none of the occupants was physically attacked, several were left in a state of “shock”.
Something similar happened in Paris on May 31st, when hundreds of youths ran riot in Paris after the city’s football team, PSG, won the Champions League. A mob surrounded a car containing two women and smashed the vehicle’s windows as the terrified pair cowered inside.
On the same night that unrest erupted in Limoges there was trouble in Compiègne, 60 miles north of Paris, when 30 youths attacked a police station, using home-made mortars. The previous night youths and police had fought running battles in Charleville-Mézières, a town in eastern France, and on the evening of July 16th a restaurant in the Channel resort of Jullouville was sacked by 30 youths armed with knives.
At the other end of the country, the residents of the Mediterranean cities of Beziers and Nimes are caught in the crossfire of a deadly turf war between rival drugs gangs. One French broadcaster likened the situation in Nimes to the “ultra violence of the South American cartels”.
Most of the violence ravaging France is linked to the country’s lucrative drugs industry, estimated to generate up to €6 billion in annual revenue. Corruption among public officials and the police is also on the rise, prompting the interior minister, Bruno Retailleau to talk of the “Mexicanisation” of France. Up the coast from Nimes is Marseille, the hub of France’s drugs trade and the city where, in 2023, 49 people were killed and 118 wounded in shootings.
Émile Roger Lombertie, the Mayor of Limoges, agrees that France is being “Mexicanised” but says that immigration and Islamic extremism are also factors in the emergence of a parallel society. Radical preachers and drug cartels find many willing recruits in the impoverished housing estates.

It’s time to start shooting them.
Civil war is just around the corner in the West.
All by design, this cannot be by accident (it was obvious to me that we were heading down this path so it must have been obvious to ‘the state’ too).
So if the problem is deliberately caused, the reaction to that problem must be intended too (violent affray, civil unrest).
The solution, such as the public believing “it is time to start shooting them” must be the intended solution too. Along with their wishes for ID cards, facial recognition AI bots, predictive profiling linked to a security database and a great deal more.
Clearly, France has become a vibrant multicultural community.
I increasingly feel that the problems that have accumulated cannot be solved in a peaceful way. That’s sad because it will be unpleasant for everyone.
Intifada. The Global Jihad. See Lebanon for France’s future.
The comment, drug gang warfare, is because thats what it is, France then, the UK already, and the government keeps bringing this filth in, it simply doesnt care about the rest of us, so we will no doubt have to care for ourselves!!.
Cultural enrichment at its finest. I give a big “thank you” to the West’s splendid rulers for their extraordinary intelligence and wisdom.
This is happening across Europe but its noteable the Pro-EU Ultras BBC doesn’t mention a word. Starmer, a well-known Ultra, also says nothing. Labour are too focussed on antisemitic attacks on Israel so I guess they have a flimsy excuse.
Home made Mortors is lunacy that even Enoch Powerll didn’t foresee all those years ago in, arguably, the best speech ever written. All the sentiments were from constituants in Woilverhampton. Powell wasn’t racist, he was simply a man of his era who knew right from wrong.
But when real civil war comes to Britain, which side will the police and army take? It’s clear ‘our’ police will join the invaders. We’ve seen many examples of that. That just leaves the army to protect us.
I don’t think so. Most police live in their communities. If they were asked to side with the invaders, I think even they would have second thoughts.
There are just 80,000 in the British Army and the recruitment is not favourable to white males – the ones that are likely to defend their homeland. How many males of fighting age of a malevolent culture have come ashore at Dover? Is it more than 80,000?
Would agree on the police. Musulmans have infiltrated the police. Ahmed investigates Muhammad for the rape of white girls….I would guess the 20K or so in the army that can operate a gun with ammunition would do what they are told i.e. kill the whites who engage in civil disobedience. Doris Ronason threatened to use the army door to door to instabbinate during the plandemic. The army would have followed orders.
Summer holidays? Perhaps the usual suspects will take the opportunity of blaming it on “Climate Change”.

Speaking of Nimes, and if this is what the authorities see fit to implement for kids under 16 years of age, it does rather beg the question: what the hell are the parents up to? Because if you can’t control your kid and they’re running around breaking the law then the parents should be hauled in by the police as well because surely they have to take overall responsibility for their kid’s behaviour outside of the home; ”The southern French city of Nîmes, home to over 150,000 people, has decided to implement a nightly curfew for minors under the age of 16 as a desperate attempt to curb the spread of gang violence largely linked to drug trafficking in the city’s migrant-heavy neighborhoods. The curfew runs between 9 p.m. and 6 a.m., and came into effect on the night of Monday, July 21st, for an initial two-week period that can be renewed every 15 days. According to local authorities, the radical measure is needed because of “a succession of shootings, score-settling, and gang tensions” that have been gripping the city for the past weeks. Nîmes follows the example of at least ten other French municipalities that implemented similar measures. Its curfew specifically… Read more »
We must remove these people from our countries. All. Men, women and children. Hardened your hearts and remove all females from front line policing and decisions making on this matter. There must be mo quarter given during the removals process otherwise it will fail.
Our peoples security and safety are at stake.
Yes, and have you seen this?
“Researchers also revealed that nearly three quarters of Brits would accept more immigration if they paid more into the system.”
Blatant lies!
