Twenty retired generals and a thousand lower ranked officers have signed an explosive open letter warning that France is on the verge of civil war because it is “disintegrating" because of Islamist terror.
They go on to suggest that Pres. Emmanuel Macron’s failure to act could lead to “an explosion and then intervention by our comrades on active service in the dangerous mission of protecting our civilised values and the safety of our compatriots.”
“There is no time to waffle,” they say, “or tomorrow civil war will put an end to this growing chaos and the dead, for whom you will bear responsibility, will be counted in the thousands.”
The comments come in the wake of the brutal murder of a female police officer last week as a Tunisian migrant screaming “Allahu Akbar” slashed her throat at the entrance of a police station.
