It’s the second attack in Paris in a year…
After his place of work in the satirical Charlie Hebdo newspaper was the victim of a terrorist attack in January this year, cartoonist Joann Sfar had his say after last night’s attack.
He took to Instagram with a series of drawings which conveyed the anger and sadness of the events that unfolded last night…
In English it reads: France is an old country where lovers embrace freely.

Paris is our capital. We love music, drunkenness, joy.

For centuries lovers of death have tried to make us lose life’s flavour.

They never succeed.

Those who love. Those who love life. In the end, they’re always the ones who are rewarded.

The motto of Paris is beautiful.

Terrorism is not the enemy. Terrorism is a mode of operation. Repeating ‘we are at war’ without finding the courage to name our enemies leads nowhere. Our enemies are those that love death. In various guises, they have always existed. History forgets quickly.
