Sixteenth week of protests: French “yellow vests” support strikes in North AfricaBy Anthony Torres and Kumaran Ira4 March 2019The 16th weekly protest of the “yellow vests” in France took place amid an international strike wave across the Maghreb. Clashes broke out from the beginning of the “yellow vest” protest in Nantes, where protesters from across the region had been asked to converge. In Lille, a “regional and international” rally brought together “yellow vests” and protesters from other countries, including Belgium and the Netherlands. Shortly after 10 a.m., “yellow vest” protesters with signs began to gather on the Champs-Elysées. I think if the situation stays as is, the protests will continue, week after week.
