Paris, Bastille district, in front of the former premises of the satirical newspaper
Charlie Hebdo
, Friday morning.
Everything happened really fast.
A man and a woman working at the production company First Lines were stabbed wounded by an individual arrested not far from the scene of the attack shortly after.
A Pakistani suspect allegedly admitted the facts at the time of his arrest.
The prosecutor of the National Anti-Terrorism Prosecutor's Office opened an investigation for "attempted assassination in connection with a terrorist enterprise" and "criminal terrorist association".
“
Like a nightmare
”, launches
Le Parisien
, whose “front page” explicitly makes the link with the terrorist attack of January 7, 2015, since, even if Charlie Hebdo has since moved to an undisclosed location, this title of the
Parisian
is surmounted by these two simple words: "
Charlie Hebdo
".
Even more explicit,
Le Figaro
unhesitatingly indicates the “
!
"To describe what he calls a" raid "committed"
in a few minutes
", underlines this daily, and which, he adds,"
bears the mark of Islamist fury
".
"
Once again, psychosis has won the east of the capital
", states
Le Figaro
.
Which daily remarks that “
the attack responds to a very specific timetable.
It comes at a time when the trial at the assizes of the January 2015 attacks is ending its third week of hearing and the republication of the cartoons of Mohammed has provoked the ire of radical Muslims
”.
So ?
So "
enough hypocrisy
", launches this daily.
Because, according to
Le Figaro
, "
denouncing terrorism without condemning the devastating effects of Islamism is a nameless hypocrisy
."
And then this question about the alleged assailant of this attack
: how old is he really
?
Ali H. is his first name and the initial of his surname, is he a minor?
Is he really 18, as the head of the National Anti-Terrorism Prosecutor's Office in charge of the investigation said?
After consulting photos of the individual,
Le Parisien
finds that he appears "
much older than his age
".
To be clear, the investigators requested a bone examination, but according to this daily, "
a children's judge from the Cergy-Pontoise juvenile court"
refused to conduct probationary medical examinations (bone expertise) to determine Ali H's real age
”.
This attack, therefore, as we have seen, occurred in a particular context, to which is added a hidden terrorist threat to France.
As he had done in a column published by
Le Figaro
the day before yesterday's attack and as he said last night on our antenna in the special edition presented by Philippe Lecaplain, the president of the Center d ' analysis of terrorism Jean-Charles Brisard warns, again this morning in Liberation that "
other acts of this type, targeted at individuals or particular places, will occur in the days and weeks to come
" in France.
And in Libé, Jean-Charles Brisard makes the link with the Charlie Hebdo trial and also with the republication of the cartoons of the prophet Mohammed.
Symbolic victory for Gbagbo
In Africa, this victory for the former Ivorian president Laurent Gbagbo.
The African Court of Human and Peoples' Rights orders the suspension of his conviction by the Ivorian justice in the so-called case of the breakage of BECEAO.
And it also suspends its removal from the electoral list.
The African Court on Human and Peoples' Rights also orders Cote d'Ivoire to "
take all necessary measures to immediately remove all obstacles preventing the applicant from registering on the electoral list
".
The Court having notified the State of Côte d'Ivoire that it had fifteen days to execute this court decision, the daily
Le Monde
stresses that Côte d'Ivoire remains “
legally bound
” to the decisions of the ACHPR.
Which court notes in its judgment that the withdrawal of jurisdiction from Côte d'Ivoire does not become effective until "the expiration of the one-year period", ie from April 2021.
"
After Guillaume Soro, Laurent Gbagbo
:
for the second time in ten days, the African Court of Justice disavows the Ivory Coast
", states the
Figaro
website
.
Which French newspaper notes that, in his interview with
Paris Match
magazine
, which we will discuss tomorrow morning in the weekly press review, Ivorian President Alassane Ouattara says that the candidacies of Guillaume Soro and Laurent Gbagbo in the next presidential election "fall under of provocation ”.
