法国努力解决被忽略郊区问题

Market day in Clichy-sous-Bois - a time to chat and buy items from the home country. Many residents and their forefathers1 immigrated2 here from North and sub-Saharan Africa. They were looking for better opportunities.

克利希市的赶集日是一个聊天和购买来自原籍国物品的时候,这里的很多居民和祖先们从北非和撒哈拉南部非洲移民到这里,他们为寻找更好的机会而来。

Not everybody found them. In 2005, this Paris suburb exploded into violence after two teenagers were electrocuted as they hid from police. Most people here say pent-up anger about the lack of jobs and a future helped fuel the riots that spread across the country.

但不是每个人都找到了,2005年,两名少年在逃避警察追捕时被电棍打死,由此导致这个巴黎郊区发生暴力事件。这里很多人说,缺少工作机会和未来导致的被压抑的怒火是导致这场蔓延全国暴动的原因。

Clichy-sous-Bois today looks very different. The state has invested massively in infrastructure3. Old-timers like Yaya Jaiel, from Algeria, praise the results.

克利希市今天看上去很不一样,这里对基础设施进行了大规模投资。来自阿尔及利亚的Yaya Jaiel等老人赞扬了这一结果。

"They demolished4 all those old buildings, the towers, they replaced them with the small ones you see over there. There are lots of things that have changed."

“他们推倒了所有的旧建筑、塔楼,取代之那边的小型建筑,有很多东西都不一样了。”

But something has not, just as 18-year-old Mehdi Hassani, who is studying to be an electrician, "It’s really hard to find a job, especially when you come from here, we are still identified by the 2005 riots, we are still considered delinquents5 and drug addicts6."

但仍有没有改变的东西,就像18岁的迈赫迪·哈萨尼,他在学习成为一名电工,“很难找到工作,尤其是这里的人,别人仍把我们和2005年暴乱联系起来,我们仍被视为不良少年和瘾君子。”

Nearly half of Clichy’s population is under 25. More than a third are jobless. A tramway is under construction, but for now, the only easy way out of here is by car.

克利希几乎一半的人口年龄在25岁以下,三分之一以上的人没有工作。一条电车轨道正在建设中,但就目前来说,最简单的出行办法是乘车。

Pierre Mouget heads Mission Locale, an agency that helps young people find jobs, "We have a transport problems, it's very hard in Clichy, that is one reason why there are so few businesses here."

皮埃尔是Mission Locale组织的负责人,该组织帮助年轻人找工作。“这里存在交通问题,这一点很困难,这也是这里企业很少的原因之一。”

The Paris shootings in last January again focused the spotlight7 on France’s neglected suburbs. That’s where the attackers came from, activist8 Mehdi Bigaderne says suburbs like Clichy are no more likely to produce terrorists than any other part of France. He's co-founder of ACLEFEU, a citizens' empowerment group set up after the riots. He says the country is right to be worried about its youth.

去年1月份巴黎枪击案再次将焦点转向法国被忽略的郊区,袭击者就是来自这些社区,活动家迈赫迪称像克利希这样的郊区不像法国其他地区那样容易出产恐怖分子。他是法国自由友爱协会的联合创始人,这是暴乱后成立的一家公民赋权组织。他说法国担心这些年轻人,这种担心是对的。

"The real question is how we get to this situation, because those young people committed in barbaric acts did not come from Iraq, Algeria or Morocco but were products of France."

“真正的问题是如何解决这些问题,因为这些犯下野蛮行径的年轻人并非来自伊拉克、阿尔及利亚或摩洛哥,而是法国的产物。”

 

Two police officers are on trial for failing to prevent their deaths of Bouna Traore and Zyed Benna, the two boys are electrocuted 10 years ago. A verdict is due in May, but the bigger challenge of healing and moving forward here lies ahead.

两名警察因未能阻止巴努和齐亚德之死而接受审问,这两个男孩10年前被电棍击死。5月份将宣布判决,但愈合伤口和前进所面临的更大的挑战仍在前方。
