There have been demonstrations against the government of Emmanuel Macron in Muslim countries for days. France is now warning its citizens about violence.
After the murder of a history professor by a suspected Islamist, France has asked its citizens living abroad to be more careful. The French Foreign Ministry announced new security advisories for Indonesia, Bangladesh, Mauritania, Iraq and Turkey on its website on Tuesday.
The French should stay away from protests against the publication of Muhammad cartoons and avoid public gatherings. “Extreme vigilance is recommended, especially when traveling and in places visited by tourists or expatriate communities,” he said.
Emmanuel Macron wants action against radicalism
Teacher Samuel Paty was attacked and beheaded by the suspected Islamist in a Paris suburb in mid-October. The 18-year-old suspect with Chechen roots was shot and killed by police. According to the investigation, Paty was murdered for using Mohammed cartoons in a right to freedom class.
After the assassination, French President Emmanuel Macron announced that he would step up measures against conservative Islam, which threatens to undermine the values of France. Later, several Muslim countries harshly criticized the French government because, according to Macron, the cartoons can still be published. Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan was one of the loudest critics.
