Anger Deeply Anchored
From my point of view, what happen today in [the] suburbs around Paris is an anger deeply anchored in people from these areas which expresses itself, as well as the desire to show to the society that even if they live beside Paris [but outside ‘French’ society], they exist. What [has an] effect on the young people of [the] suburbs, is the permanent presence of the police and the arrogance of the forces of intervention, not to help them but to pursue them.
Cities have to mobilize intermediaries [i.e., peacekeepers or police] who are able to defuse conflicts. However, such attempts don’t [get to] the heart of the problem if there are no true offers made for the young people, which allow them to become integrated into the society by working. These people [young immigrants or descendsnts of immigrants?] must be a part of the solution which authorities are seeking and not only regarded as the problem to solve.
The massive unemployment, the uncertainty, the discrimination, the racism and the police violence [in] every day life [cause] everywhere explosive situations.
More interested in his presidential ambition than worried [about] the problems of the French, since 2002 Nicolas Sarkozy [has] only [been] speaking and gesturing [about] security without [responding to] the [lack of security]. Neither the violence, nor the crime, really [decreased;] the verbal provocations of this minister eventually fired [up the people living in the] suburbs. Three and a half years after his arrival, Nicolas Sarkozy's defeat is total today.
The reality is, as soon as the suburban [violence] calm[s] down nobody will talk about their issues [anymore,] and until French authorities and even French people [stop being hypocritical and] double-tongued, the problem with the minorities will [not] be solved.

These riots started after two teenagers died electrocuted because of hiding in a power station. French people tend to react to events in a logic that I don't understand. How can you blame the police for chasing teenagers who broke the law? Even if what happened is sad, I want the police of my country to arrest anybody that breaks the law regardless of their religion, skin colour or sex. Moreover, the youth that is angry today should have voted last election because if they had, Lepen would not have passed the second poll and Chirac and Sarkozy would not be part of the government today.
