Paris Terrorist Brothers Grew Up In Neighborhood of Hated Minorities



Building Where Paris Terrorists Grew Up

During the Sixties and Seventies, he said, when immigrant labourers from Morocco, Algeria and Senegal were shipped in to rebuild post-war France, suburbs such as Gennevilliers (where they worked mainly in car factories and heavy industrial plants) were utterly transformed.
Yet for this first generation – well-paid and comparatively well accommodated in the vast new tower blocks built to house them – life was satisfactory enough. However, it was not the French policy even to attempt to integrate or educate them. On the contrary, they were pushed to the margins, to be tolerated rather than welcomed, and among the indigenous French population the level of discrimination was beyond anything we have witnessed in Britain.

Seven-storey block is where suspect Cherif Kouachi was radicalised
It lies in Gennevilliers - just seven miles from the Charlie Hebdo office
Half a century ago it was an archetypically French community
Now you can walk street without seeing a solitary white Frenchman
