Violent clashes have broken out between protesters and police on France’s Mediterranean island of Corsica over the assault in prison on a nationalist figure.
Yvan Colonna, who is serving a life sentence for the assassination in 1998 of Corsica’s top regional official Claude Erignac, is currently in a coma after being beaten on March 2 in jail by a fellow detainee serving time for “terror” offences.
Al Jazeera’s Laura Burdon-Manley reports.

Freedom the west screams as they oppress their citizens.
Attacking property owned by the state is attacking property that your family, neighbors, and country paid for. It is like cutting off one’s own foot, and only lunatics do such things.
This type of people raises the cost of living for everyone…
It can be more like cutting out a tumor or removing a parasite, but you gotta hope that whatever grows back isn’t worse.
Yeah keep quiet meanwhile the government is killing your neighbors.
@Brad The real pandemic are these parasites in power.
see face in mirror USA Europe countries supporting Ukraine why not supporting palestine Countries double standard sanctions for RUSSIA why not sanction for ISRAEL. Life after death
Racist murderer got beat up who cares
boom them Russia that’s the only language they understand.
French never change. Clueless
terrible dangerous
beware this forces will be ignited by protestant world, uk and us
Two things that does not work.
1. Religion.
2. Peaceful protests.
Religion do exactly what it was intended to, divisions and war. Peaceful protest on the other hand, had never worked.
World is nihilistic. Morality is preached by immoral people to cover up. Peace is the shade of the sword.
4. Chocolate on pizza.
@Ops Blac Mmmmm Chocolate pizza!
2 things that dont work:
1: democracy,
2: Being allied to the West.
France has an oppressive government.
Give them macrons
The Russians and Chinese should support them militarily and recognise their right to be independent. So the west can see how it feels
On, thank you very much. Don’t talk nonsense. We have the russian mafia and the russian oligarques. As the chinese, they can stay in China. The situation is not that bad in Corsica. These violent demos are taking place in Bastia. It is not the whole Island.
🤣🤣
Cruz you have no clues about what’s going on moron! stay out of it connard
FREE CORSIKA!!!
Who are these in civilized animals?
Looks like more macho nonsense to me.
FREE FREE CORSICA 💯✔️
DISGUSTING SNAIL EATERS 🤮🤮
FREE FREE CORSICA 💯✅✔️
Viva a Corsica
Is Corsica French or Italian?
@G C hahahaha dont worry, Corsica will remain french…
Nobody wants to join Italy, some even want to leave like Sardinia, Lombardy, Sicily, Veneto…
@Ante Lucić everybody wants to join Italy! Corisica is no exception. cope and seethe.
@G C hahahahhaa i dont think so…
@Ante Lucić you can think what you want, of course. But you can’t deny reality.
@orsokiwi hahahaha tell me which reality…?
Wow everyone learn from Ukraine peoples how to make cocktail to attack on security forces. It’s to dangerous for law enforcement officers.
Ohh should the Russians start sending the Corsicans some military defensive aid and set up a few bases there with Russian Advisors ?? 🤔🤔
That’s a great idea
Those NATO tactics would shock the world. I love it.
Are those Corsicans putin supporters also?
They don’t call them terrorist !!!
GOD give us wisdom u can not find peace with violence
Assassination attempts!!! Look like leader of free world saving freedom by killing there own people!
So let me get this straight, a criminal…got beaten by another criminal…….in jail………….AND more criminals went to the streets?? Okay then
Not all in jail are real criminals … Not knowing this story just stating facts.
That’s Corsica resumed in one phrase, yes.
They’re destroying for a jailed murderer ??
Why you call it France’s Corsica ? Corsica never was French , the Corsicans were demanding self determination for ages but they were oppressed by France …the Corsicans speak an Italian dialect and they have nothing to do ethnically or linguistically with France or French people
CORSES, OPRESSES PAR LA FRANCE QU’EST CE QUE TU RACONTES CONNARD OCCUPE TOI DE TON PROPRE K OK
@The Atlantis Report OCCUPEZ VOUS TOUS DE VOS K. OK
@Hélène Culioli-Atwood OCCUPE TOI DE TON K. OK
@SILSASAS OCCUPE TOI DE TON ESPAGNE OK MEC DE TON K ÇA FERA DES VACANCES QUE ÇA A FOUTRE
@thierry thierry est la france pas seulement l’espagne. je suis catalan francaise je vien de perpignan
The first ever novel I read in French in my teenage years was called “Colomba” by Prosper Mérimée and it was all based in the island of Corsica ….
Watch out for fraudulent YouTube accounts like this one, claiming they’re from North Africa, but really living in Russia, Iran, China, or Nigeria
👑 abbraccio da Roma 👑
he got his , dangerous man whit dangerous
man , cool God exists slava Ukraine
Napoleon Bonaparte?
Could al jazeera substitute RT now that it is gone? Lol
Brainwash white jihadist shut up nonsense here
SALAUDS,,, DU GOUVERNEMENT,,,
POINT
Silencing the committed abuse sounds Mafia style. Just a little!
France like Russia – Corsica like Ukraine none can deny!
Is the end of the world…
I am not Italian and I am not French (I am north African ) , but I do speak both languages fluently and I can confirm that the Corse language is actually an Italian/toscan dialect that I myself can understand perfectly …the same way that the people of Val D’Aosta in today’s Italy speak a French dialect that I can perfectly understand too….even the dialect spoken around Nice in France are actually Italian dialects….the borders are totally messed up all over Europe and not only that Europe went into Africa created nation states without respecting ethnic or religious borders that were functional for centuries and messed up Africa too …
@Green Galaxy i get what your saying and i actually agree that it wouldnt be good, the last vote to become independant was less than 1% difference it was 51/49 % so it was extremly close
@Green Galaxy Dude I live in Canada , the situation is not about hatred it is about the French having a strong national ego and feeling that they are losing ground to English everyday to the point that Montreal is now a bilingual city rather than a French one ….the question of the language is very much felt in Quebec ….the Quebecers don’t want to end up like Louisiana in the US ….
@G C I care!!!!!! mr selfish
@monsieur patate plus in Québec they don’t like french and Africains actually they are the most racist in North America 🙄 I know I saw i felt I moved west!!!!!
@The Atlantis Report Napoleon lost the war lost Louisiana and Canada
lucky Québec have their own province lucky canada is officially bilingual and Québec have french laws 🙄
they where not exterminated …… up today!
The hypocrite west brags about freedom, minorities rights ,the right of people to self determination only when it is in africa or elsewhere in the world in order to create riots revolutions havocs and to weaken the central states ….when it comes to your own minorities : Corse Basques Catalans etc…etc…the story suddenly changes all of a sudden…
we care about nationalists why????????
Because we despise you globalists, power hungry for control.
Their answer to everything looting and more violence!
Free Corsica !!!!
You cant even pronounce correctly Ajaccio
Thats good stand up to government
Corsica needs to get its independence just like the Imperialist West and NATO are helping Taiwan to break away…
China and Russia should help the people of Corsica to get their independence…
edit it again lol
Taïwan already has it’s independence from backwards Xi the Pooh and his communist Peking ducks. Only the communists have it wrong
@Curtis Valasek @Curtis Valasek Well I am not a communist nor a capitalist but Capitalism the way we know it today is a tool for wicked imperialism that cultivates powerty everywhere in the world except where it’s geopolitical musical is played…
If you tel me that the IMF and the World Bank two products of the Breton wood conspiracy of finance weaponisation have been tools for good, I would not be surprised knowing the havocs those financial octopuses have created in militarily weak countries, bleeding them to death to create a fertile land for terrorism and djihadisim….some social instruments that stand as a backing for capitalist generalised currency…
Capitalism has to be made humain if it aspires to stay around for the foreseeable future…
For Transgender Capitalism to be transformed positively it has to take a long holiday from the Imperialist West for its rejuvenation and humanisation…
@John Best bot… jibberish text
You go to Ukraine to all protesters to fighting Putin army
Y eso que es un continente civilizado (Europa)
Let me guess , Russia is the responsible and more sanctions ?
France should dead soon
Thank you Macron for being a patriot of democracy. 😂
democracy was great until EU became fachiste and forcefully aggressive with EU stupid embition without respect for cultures variety 🙄 diversity
Man. White people all over the world are going absolutely insane.
Is this the year of turbulence.
Really? I wonder when civilization arrived in Northern Ireland…
Around 1998??
How about the bombs in France in the Basque region????Was civilization on holiday there too???
Humm, I wonder if the jailing of Catalonia leadership is part the amplified civilizationism in the Imperialist West…
Give us a break with your transgenderism so-called civilization…
Lovely.
Meanwhile in Ukraine…
Macron is in crisis so is France and Europe,

This would have been on every news if it was Russia..
This is literally on the news
@élément æsthétique on every news and on the news is different
It’s okay brethren, macronie expects to absorb you into the globalist world order soon enough
The nationalists that love their country so much they’re tearing it apart. It makes sense to be a nationalist.
People are challenging illegitimate authority placed in power by banking conglomerates working with marxists
France 24 should cover strongly their inner matters
Does France president Macron still want to attack its citizens wearing headscarves?
They act so brave and proud, I wish I can help them! Maybe we should send them NLAW?!
Viva la republic Corsica ✌️✌️✌️
Batty man country sodom and gomorrah🔥🔥🔥⚰️
Un generale fù mandatu quì
In Bastia pè tumbà è ferì
Stu conte scemu chì vulia fà
Dumà lu populu di Pasquà.
Ma ’ssi guerrieri,
Arditi è fieri
Sò di a sterpa di Sampieru
Di Sambucucciu, corsu sinceru
Luttonu contr’à u strangeru
È quellu ghjornu
Compiò u sugiornu
In Cirnu è in quelli cuntorni
Chì funu avvinti è arrivinti
Scacciati di l’isula vinti
Ma ‘ssi guerrieri,
Arditi è fieri
Sò di a sterpa di Sampieru
Di Sambucucciu, corsu sinceru
Luttonu contr’à u strangeru
St’armata feroce da serve i maiò
À l’omu tranquillu a guerra arricò
Li pasturelli a pobbenu parà
Sopra à la Bastia per a libertà.
Ma ‘ssi guerrieri,
Arditi è fieri
Sò di a sterpa di Sampieru
Di Sambucucciu, corsu sinceru
Luttonu contr’à u strangeru
In quellu Borgu a storia chì fù
Scritta in u sangue torna dinù
Per rammintà ciò chì fù è serà
Ci tocca à cantà, ci tocca à cantà.
Ma ‘ssi guerrieri,
Arditi è fieri
Sò di a sterpa di Sampieru

Support from Sicily, our islands have always been exploited
French people are heroes.
You can make a change only when you take law into your own hands, see the police are traitors, all around the world,.. locking up the wrong people, beating civilians.. Was that their job?? So the way I see it and I think the people around the world see it they are the Public Enemy Number 1. *THE END* Or is it? ?
Western democracy on display…
Troubled crised france….tell the virus macron…
We need protests like this in Europe to stop war in ukraine instead of supplying weapons!
weapons is money 💰 🤑 💸 😎
Every country make them love it!
they all are in UN and most have veto right!!!!!!
unbelievable!!!!!!!
Que est-ce qui se passe a le coeur du la beau France?
You see how secularism and nationalism is so violent,
We should sperate secularism from the state as well as nationalism
I can see it possibly becoming an independent state with no hope of obtaining EU membership thanks to France’s veto. Dear Corsica, not every small state can become a Singapore or Monaco. 😏
The eu should just become a federation and give all the independence movement within the eu it independence and let them become a new state in the federation
And the question is posed to those that supports Ukraine – when Ukraine’s own government are nationalists and fascists since 2014 when the US had placed them in power and backed the coup?!?
Zelensky is Jewish but what kind of Jew? A Secular Nationalist Jew… and he has $1.6 billion USD in an offshore bank account that the Pandora Papers reveled and has $35 million dollar mansion in Florida… all those billions that Ukraine received since 2014 was a free for all elite cookie jar and left their country broke and even failed to repay 2 loans from the IMF and now the US and its allies are pumping more money that will be up for grabs once again?!?
They are white like us and they watch netflix and use social media just doing what civilised people do.
What goes around comes around
Viva Pasquale Paoli!! Viva la Corsica: Popolo Italiano!!!!
Dont worry, Corsica will remain french…
Why are they speaking French with Italian surnames?
Always Riots in France
Viva Corsica
what a joke can’t control his own country but loves to poke his nose everywhere
Free Free Corsica✌
France have ruined 20 countries in africa en Stole their wealth en installed racist regimes there for their own benefit
What these civilised people are doing nowadays..
Frace should not occupy an independent state, the invaders of Corsica should be defeated. The West should pass maximum sanctions against France. Maximum pressure. Take France out of SWIFT payment system to start with…
Europe is the most complex of all continents. By far, it tries to be unified and unique, but it has not been benevolent with its self and the rest of humanity. There is a price to pay: new generations are fed up ready to take action.
Antudo Animus Tuus Dominus fora a tirrania de nustre terre ✊
In Italy the parliament approved in 1948 the statutes for the autonomy of 4 of its special regions. A fifth, the Friuli-Venezia Giulia, obtained it in 1963. Corsicans assert yourself!
Corsica is Italian!!! Keep out France!!
In your dreams little fascist, its french and will remain french
@Ante Lucić corsica is for corsicans, neither french nor italian. We just want to be free
Pescetti, Graziani etc etc are italian surnames..
They are corsican surnames
Свободу Корсике! Смерть французским оккупантам!
Great People against the great reset!
CATALUNYA ❤️ CORSICA
And Sardinia
Attacked by a muslim
0:20 Looks like Simon Cowell and George Michael had a baby in Corsica.
They are not rioters. They are peaceful and brave protesters as Hongkonger. May the best to the country-COSRSICA.
France, go fys
