When the City of Lights goes dark, the World Lights up in Support~

[Cha]

Mayor of Paris Anne Hidalgo has just been speaking at a press conference:

What happened last night goes beyond anything we could have imagined, such is the horror. The targets are places we love, in this popular and open city of Paris which is happy to share the world’s culture because Paris is a city strengthened by its diversity.

It is this Paris which has been targeted because this model of togetherness is unbearable for fanatics, for those who want to reduce all humanity to silence.

The message that we want to give them, alongside other politicians, is that we will be stronger than those who would to reduce us to silence. We love to debate, we love to disagree, that’s democracy.

10. In an unusual turn of coincidence, the UN's name for the year matches up perfectly.

"The Year of Light". The Year everyone lit up for the darkness in the City of Lights.
