Two French police officers were shot at by unidentified assailants.

The French government has deployed a total of 45,000 police and gendarmes nationwide to quell the ongoing riots. The decision was made after a series of violent incidents that have been taking place across the country for weeks now. According to Interior Minister Christophe Castaner, the deployment has been effective in bringing stability to the situation, with Monday night being relatively calm compared to previous nights.

However, Paris Police Chief Michel Lalande believes that the situation is still volatile and stabilization is premature. French President Emmanuel Macron has called for emergency meetings to address the issue and make every effort to bring an end to the unrest.

The riots have been sparked by a number of issues, including economic inequality, immigration policies, and police brutality. The situation has escalated in recent weeks, with widespread looting, arson, and violence taking place in major cities across France.

The incident that sparked the most recent round of riots involved the death of a 17-year-old African immigrant during a routine traffic check in Cergy-Pontoise. The incident led to several days of rioting and looting, as well as widespread criticism of the French government's handling of immigration policies.

The protests have also drawn attention to other issues facing France, including rising economic inequality and police brutality. Many have called for the government to take action to address these underlying issues in order to bring an end to the unrest.

Despite the deployment of thousands of security forces and decisive action taken by the government, it remains unclear when the situation will stabilize or what actions will be taken to address the root causes of the protests.
