Mumin Aslan, 18 years old, resident of Clichy-sous-Bois, I have origins from Turkey but was born in France and feel french. I do not understand why my country is racist towards me. "Bouna and Zyed were my friends, we all knwo eachother here". The two teenagers Zyed Benna and Bouna Traoré died on October 27, 2005 in Clichy-sous-Bois, electrocuted in the enclosure of an electrical substation in which they hid to escape a police check, which caused violent clashes between several hundred individuals from Clichy-sous-Bois and the French police forces. This event is a trigger for the 2005 riots in French suburbs.
