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. https://www.instagram.com/p/-C9h7hHZWC/?taken-by=joannsfar Paris is our capital. We love music, drunkenness, joy. https://www.instagram.com/p/-C9kLunZWH/?taken-by=joannsfar For centuries lovers of death have tried to make us lose life's flavour. https://www.instagram.com/p/-C9moBnZWO/?taken-by=joannsfar They never succeed. https://www.instagram.com/p/-C9o1LnZWZ/?taken-by=joannsfar Those who love. Those who love life. In the end, they're always the ones who are rewarded. https://www.instagram.com/p/-C9rRNHZWe/?taken-by=joannsfar The motto of Paris is beautiful. https://www.instagram.com/p/-C9ttmHZWj/?taken-by=joannsfar 'It is beaten by the waves but does not sink' https://www.instagram.com/p/-C9vwqnZWo/?taken-by=joannsfar https://www.instagram.com/p/-C-NNrHZXh/?taken-by=joannsfar 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.  https://www.instagram.com/p/-C_fQBHZZp/?taken-by=joannsfar
