Condoleances for english people :

I have many readers in France. But I also have a lot abroad; pretty much everywhere in the world. So I have it in England too.

Today, I speak to the English. Those of Manchester, those of London, like those of elsewhere. I extend to you all my deepest and most sincere condolences. I join your pain and tears. I weep with you those loved ones who have disappeared or been wounded by the madness of these men who aspire only to destroy your freedom, your good living together, your values, your democracy. I join you in your distress and in your desire to gather around these.
Weep for your dead, be ready for those who have been wounded by those barbarians who have only hatred and violence as the only answer to you. Do not let them dictate what you should believe, how you should live or think. Do not let yourself be carried away by anger or desire for vengeance. For that is what they expect of you. It is in this way that they wish to see you react to justify their actions.

Know that you are not alone. If Daesh intensifies his actions against you, against the West more generally, it is because this organization loses ground in Syria and Iraq. The vise tightens around her, she knows that soon she will eventually fall. Her strength is diminishing more and more, and to blame you, to blame us, is her only way to show that she is still there. That it is always present, and that it does not intend to be forgotten as long as it exists.

But his time is short. Daesh saw his last hours. It's a lost fight. However, it throws its last forces in the battle in order to last as long as possible.

So, know that those who died yesterday in London, two weeks ago in Manchester, and so on. Did not die in vain. Know that these extremists will never win, even though they accomplish. Stay together, stay united, around what binds us. Around those whom you treasure and cherish. Think of them and them. Love them, enjoy every moment that life grants you, for it is precious. Only in this way will we defeat all those retrogressive jihadists who use religion as weapons; When in fact they believe in nothing but the violence and hatred of the one who is different from them. They condemn themselves to decline and destruction.

Never forget, these are the teachings of the distant or recent history. It is always the executioners who end by perishing under the blows of those whom they have wished to submit to their fury.

May peace be with you. All my friendship accompanies you, wherever you are, with whoever you are.
