French people have been rioting for the last five nights after police shot and killed a teenager in Paris. Sadly, many people on social media have found a way to frame the events in a racist light, blaming migrants for the unrest or celebrating police brutality against ethnic minorities. The shooting of 17-year-old Nahel M, who had Algerian and Moroccan parents, has reignited long standing grievances among poor and ethnically mixed communities in France about racism and violence among the country’s police forces. It has also sparked wider anger in France’s poorest neighbourhoods over politicians' perceived lack of will or ability to tackle stark inequalities which have become deeply embedded in society, and which are often drawn along ethnic and class-based lines.

However, some people on social media have proven unable – or unwilling – to see the nuance. As more police were deployed in recent nights, some have shared videos of officers violently accosting protestors, who in many cases are people of colour. Some videos show police knocking people off motorbikes, dragging people to the floor and beating them up. Many show officers pointing guns at unarmed civilians. These posts have often been accompanied with celebratory comments, or worse, derogatory racist terms in reference to protestors. Others have suggested that the French government has fallen, which is fake news. Some have posted images of buildings on fire, explosions or damage to public infrastructure. The one thing many of these posts have in common is that they blame migrants, or pro-immigration policies in the European Union. As hatred spread across social media, Nahel was buried on Saturday. Friends and family attended a private funeral at Nanterre, near where the child was killed. A crowd gathered outside the local mosque and followed the coffin the the ceremony chanting: “Justice for Nahel.” A 38-year-old police officer has been put under investigation – the French equivalent of being charged – for voluntary homicide. Nahel’s death was the third fatal shooting by police during traffic stops in the country this year, and the 21st since 2020. Most of the victims have been of black or north African origin, according to Reuters. Many people on Twitter have called out the racist commenters for what they are. Roshan Salih, editor of British Muslim news site 5Pillars, said: “France is a racist and Islamophobic nation. The current riots are an inevitable expression of anger and frustration by the oppressed.” Syrian-British journalist Richard Medhurst said: “You have racists in France saying: ‘They are burning cars because they are African’. Same thing in the US during George Floyd protests. How come they care more about property than someone’s life? It’s simple: if you don’t want unrest, stop killing people.” Muslim social media influencer Fatima Barkatulla, meanwhile, responded to a tweet by Elon Musk – ever the paragon of measured, empathetic social commentary – where the Twitter chief executive said burning libraries, as has happened in Marseille, was “sacrilege”. She said: “Killing our sons is a greater sacrilege. France has been a heavy handed, brutal country in colonial times towards its Muslim/North African colonies. And continues to be oppressive towards them as citizens today.” Have your say in our news democracy.

Aaron Ramsey insists his focus is fully on Wales’ Euro 2024 ambitions amid uncertainty over his Nice future. Ramsey has triggered a one-year contract extension at Nice after playing more than 30 games for the Ligue 1 club this season. But it has been reported in the French media that the 32-year-old midfielder wants a longer deal to stay at Nice and that may not be forthcoming. “I’m not sure what my future is at the moment,” Ramsey said ahead of Wales’ Euro 2024 double-header against Armenia and Turkey. “The most important thing is for me to focus on these games. “We will find out in a few weeks’ time, when everything has settled down a bit. “My full focus is on Friday (against Armenia). I’ll have to keep you guys (the press) waiting a bit longer.” Ramsey says his family, who have stayed in Cardiff while he has played in France and travelled to and from Wales, will be instrumental in the decision over his playing future. I'm not sure what my future is at the moment. We will find out in a few weeks' time, when everything has settled down a bit Aaron Ramsey It has led to speculation that Ramsey could return to Cardiff this summer, the Sky Bet Championship club where he began his career before moving to Arsenal in 2008 and spending 11 seasons in north London. That particular rumour mill went into overdrive last week when Cardiff chairman Mehmet Dalman told supporters to expect an “exciting” signing this summer. Ramsey said: “There’s always rumours going around, isn’t there? There is always that bit of noise. “This season has been a success for me personally, I played a lot of games and some good football. The only thing missing was a few goals, but that will come again. “The most challenging thing is being away from my family. That’s the situation I find myself in. “I’ve been away from my family and seeing the kids growing up, missing out, it’s always difficult. Difficult for anyone to go through, I imagine. “Whatever we do going forward, we will be reunited and back together.” Wales host Armenia in Cardiff on Friday before heading to Turkey three days later, having made a positive start to Euro 2024 qualifying. Rob Page’s side picked up four points from their opening two games in March, drawing away to World Cup semi-finalists Croatia before beating Latvia at home. Ramsey said: “This is a massive camp for us. The World Cup was a huge disappointment for us, and it was important to get off to a good start. “To bounce back straightaway in those two games sets us up nicely. “It’s huge now to back that up against Armenia. It’s a game we need to win and all our attention is on that.” Ramsey missed Nice’s last four games of the season with a calf problem. But he is confident of playing roles against both Armenia and Turkey, saying: “The last couple of weeks I did not play, but before that I had a good run of games. “I got myself in good shape so there’s not too much to be worried about. “I’ve had a good season and we had a bit of a European run as well. I’m 100 per cent ready to play to help us win.” Read More Charity boss speaks out over ‘traumatic’ encounter with royal aide Ukraine war’s heaviest fight rages in east - follow live Hugo Salabio facing six-match ban for spear tackle Manchester City’s treble winners arguably greatest ever English team – Joe Royle Brentford turn Kevin Schade loan move into permanent club-record deal

Mikel Arteta has been given until Friday to respond to his Football Association charge for comments he made after Arsenal’s defeat by Newcastle earlier this month. The Gunners boss branded the VAR decision not to rule out Anthony Gordon’s goal in his side’s 1-0 defeat at St James’ Park “an absolute disgrace”. Arteta has been charged with a breach of FA rule E3.1 and initially had until Tuesday to offer his response. However, that deadline has now been extended until Friday at the Gunners’ request, the PA news agency understands. VAR made a triple check to see whether the ball had gone out of play before Joe Willock’s cross, whether Joelinton had fouled Arsenal defender Gabriel and whether Gordon had been offside. Arteta could not hide his anger after the match, saying: “You have to talk about how the hell did this goal stand up? Incredible. I feel embarrassed. “I have to now come in here and try to defend the club and please ask for help because it’s an absolute disgrace that this goal is allowed. An absolute disgrace.” Read More Rob Page ‘absolutely’ adamant he will lead Wales into Euro 2024 play-offs James McClean backs Republic to enjoy ‘glory days’ after calling time on career On This Day in 2017 – Everton’s Oumar Niasse hit with retrospective diving ban
