The riots were ignited by the death of two teenagers of African origin who were electrocuted after comming into contact with a transformer in an electrical relay substation. The kids were apparently chased after by police officers who wanted to check their IDs.
The roots of the matter, however, leads back to the ancient problems of unemployment, racial and religious issues, poverty in the urban regions of greater Paris, as well as the underlying problems with immigrants from North and West Africa being casted aside, labeled and thus have never been fully integrated into the society. All in all it's just such a pity to see a country with so much culture to be in the state that it is now...
