I''m Steve Ember with In The News in VOA Special English.
Rioters in France has been attacting cars, businesses and public buildings for more than two weeks. French officials now say violence levels has begun to decrease. The violence is country''s worst since the series of students protest in Paris in 1988. Efforts to halt the protests led to a nationwide strike that threatened the French government.
The common unrest began last month after 2 young people were acidentally killed at a electric power station. They were apparently hiding from police. The two were of North African ancestry. Their death in incited riots in community with large African and Arab population. The violence intensified and spread from Paris to other parts of France on the eleventh night. Riots were reported in many areas, including Toulouse, Cannes, Nice and Strabourg, the head quater of the Euroupean Parliament. More than 5 thousands vehicles has been burned seen the unrest began. One man beaten by rioters has died. Police has arrested more than two thousands people.
The French government has been critised for reacting slowly to the violence. Ministers have held emergency meetings to dicuss affected areas. On Sunday, president Jaques Chirac met with top sercurity officials. Mr.Chirac said that those involved in the violence must be punished. "The last word", he said "must be from the law". Priminister Dominique de Villepin has been working with leaders of poor comunities to dicuss their concerns. He has order extra police to help the officers already deployed in the affected areas. He also restablised the law permiting local governments to order curfews. The law has not been in effect seen the Angerian War of Independance, more than forty years ago.
Other Euroupean countries are nervously watching the situation. They fear the riots could spread through out the Euroupean Union. France has about five million Muslams.They represent about ten percents of the French population. Belgium, Britain, Germany, the Nertherlands and Spain also have Muslam minority population. These nations worry that criminals or militants may seek out angry young Arabs for act of violence. Many of the rioters in France are the children or grandchildren of North Africans who settles there in the nineteen fifties and nineteen sixties. They are angry about disputes with police, their treament in France sociaty and unemployment. The national unemployment rate in France is about 10%. Many of those without jobs are young Muslams. Anger over social and cutural policies maybe fueling rioters. The terrorist attacks against the United States four years ago led to new laws in Euroupean countries. The French government has taken steps against suspected Islamic extremists. It also has banned Muslam head coverings and other religious o.b.j.e.c.t.s from public schools.
