30 years after moving to France from Brazil, Simone Barreto Silva, 44, is the victim of the “terrorist” attack in Nice on Thursday.
Silva, a mother of three, was one of three victims of the attack by an extremist Tunisian refugee near a church in the French city near Italy.
“I tell my children that I love them,” Silva said in her final moments as she dealt with death after being stabbed with a knife, as reported by the Daily Mail.
According to information available on the victim’s personal Facebook account, in which he has not written anything in recent months, Silva has two children, but the Brazilian Consulate in Paris confirms that there are three children.
According to the doctors who tried to save her after the attack, the Brazilian mother was anxious for her children, even facing death, after she took refuge in one of the bars near the scene of the accident, and where she died.
And the perpetrator of the attack is a young Tunisian named Ibrahim Awsawi, who arrived at the end of September on the Italian island of Lampedusa, on a boat carrying refugees, where the authorities quarantined him for the emerging Corona virus, before being released with order of withdrawal from Italian territory.
The attacker, who was injured when the police intervened and was taken to hospital, broke into the church with a knife and killed 3 people, as the attack occurred in one of the most vibrant commercial neighborhoods in the center of this city in the region of the French Riviera.
According to the mayor of Nice Christian Estrosy, “He kept repeating ‘God is great’ during his medical treatment, according to French media.
French President Emmanuel Macron said his country will not abandon French values, describing the attack as an “Islamic terrorist”, while also announcing the deployment of army units in some areas of the country, especially in places of worship.
On Thursday, French Prime Minister Jean Castex announced raising the state of preparedness in France to the maximum level, which is the degree of “an attack” after the Nice attack.
This new attack comes in a period of growing anger in the Islamic world following statements by President Macron, who pledged “not to abandon the cartoons” of the Prophet Muhammad, which Muslims consider “offensive.”
Many Muslim countries are witnessing demonstrations condemning the cartoons, calls to boycott French products and chants condemning the French president.
