2007 riots in France

Riots in the Val-d'Oise department in France began on 26 November 2007, following the deaths of two teenagers, whose motorcycle collided with a police vehicle. The circumstances recalled those that precipitated the 2005 unrest, which began in Clichy-sous-Bois when two teenagers lost their lives as they evaded arrest while hiding in an electrical substation. As in 2005, the youth victims were of African origin.
