Remembering the Charlie Hebdo Attacks

Remembering the victims of the Charlie Hebdo Attacks on 7 January 2015 in Paris.

I was living nearby in the Marais at the time and remember that terrible day and its aftermath vividly.

It is hard to believe that 10 years have passed….

Parisian Mayor Anne Hidalgo and President Emmanuel Macron commemorated the attacks today at the site of the former Charlie Hebdo offices.

Le Monde has published an article on “Dix ans après les attentats de 2015, la France toujours sous le choc,” and a series of pieces on the transformations of Parisian life and security since the attacks.

Reuters and the BBC report in English on the commemorations in Paris.

Le Monde has a profile of the cartoonist Riss, who survived the attacks: “Riss, dix années pour garder « Charlie » en vie.”

A brief video documentary by Le Monde recaps the Charlie Hebdo Attacks and flight of the killers.
