Update: 2025-12-11
Description
In Marseille, France, a disturbing trend of shoot-and-burn murders linked to drug wars has escalated, involving young people and fueled by social media. The citys rule of law is secondary to gangs, with a quadrupling of teenagers in the drug trade in the last eight years. The recent murder of a trainee policeman has intensified fear, with gangs targeting activists and exploiting youngsters for violent acts. Police respond with security bombardments, but many young people are lured to Marseille through false promises, trapped in a cycle of violence and exploitation.
