November 25, 2025
The French authorities commemorated the November 13, 2015 attacks. President François Hollande and his associates did everything in their power to conceal the truth from their people. In doing so, while they may have succeeded in evading their own mistakes, by depriving their fellow citizens of the truth, they deprived them of the opportunity to rebuild their lives.
France is a very strange country. To lull its population to sleep, it likes to celebrate its misfortunes. On November 13, 2025, France therefore celebrated the tenth anniversary of its defeat of November 13, 2015, when terrorists massacred 133 people and injured 413 in six attacks at the Stade de France (Saint-Denis), on the terraces of cafes, and at the Bataclan.
In his address, President Emmanuel Macron proclaimed, "This haunting question: why? We would like to find meaning in what happened... No, there is no meaning, no justification for your pain. There never will be."
It is a terrible lie that prevents all those who experienced these attacks in their flesh from finding peace: Yes, these attacks had a meaning, but our leaders chose to hide it from us so as not to have to acknowledge their mistakes.
To understand what happened that day, we must first examine the context of the events. In February 2011, France, under President Nicolas Sarkozy, sought to involve Turkey in the Western war against Libya, despite Libya being its second-largest trading partner. France secured Ankara's commitment to mobilize the Misrata tribe, heirs to the Ottoman army, against Muammar Gaddafi. In exchange, Turkey pledged to shift the Turkish problem away from its Kurdish minority. A secret treaty was signed between the two foreign ministers, Alain Juppé and Ahmet Davutoglu. It stipulated the creation of a Kurdish state outside of Turkey, in Syria, where many Turkish Kurds had sought refuge in the 1980s. This plan is unknown in France, but was published at the time by the Algerian press under the code name "Plan Bleu" (Blue Plan).
While President Sarkozy had committed France to the Western operation against Libya, and then against Syria, he changed his mind in February 2012 when he realized the river of blood he was fueling. His "American friends" therefore ensured his failure to be re-elected and replaced him with François Hollande. Hollande immediately reignited the war, convening the third meeting of the "Friends of the Syrian People Group" in Paris with Hillary Clinton on July 6, 2012.
On October 31, 2014, during the official visit of Recep Tayyip Erdogan, then Turkish Prime Minister, to Paris, President François Hollande held a secret meeting at the Élysée Palace with Salih Muslim, co-president of the Syrian Kurds. The two men agreed to implement the Juppé-Davutoglu plan at the expense of the Syrians.
However, the United States supported the PKK (renamed YPG in Syria) during the Battle of Kobani. Loyal to his "American friends," President Hollande then received Asya Abdullah, co-president of the Syrian Kurds (loyal to Abdullah Öcalan), and Commander Nesrin Abdullah, in her leopard-print uniform, at the Élysée Palace on February 8, 2015. Salih Muslim, the other co-president of the Syrian Kurds and the only Kurdish leader in favor of the transfer of a Kurdish state to Syria, was not invited.
On July 20, Recep Tayyip Erdogan reacted by ordering his ISIS operatives to carry out an attack against Kurds during a demonstration in Suruç, Anatolia.
On November 13, Recep Tayyip Erdogan gave the order to attack France.
It is important to understand that France was wrong the first time to commit to transferring Kurdistan to Syria and then again to abandon its promise. Turkey, true to form, reacted by first carrying out an attack against Turkish Kurds (34 dead and 104 wounded), and then against the French (113 dead and 413 wounded).
The story doesn't end there.
French police managed to identify and locate some of the "terrorists" they arrested in Saint-Denis. They prevented an attack in La Défense. But the team reformed, and Recep Tayyip Erdogan ordered a second wave in Brussels.
This time, he made no secret of it. During the commemorations of the Battle of Gallipoli on March 18, he threatened the European Union Commission, which had welcomed the branch of the Kurds loyal to Abdullah Öcalan, declaring: "I appeal to the states that welcome them [the PKK] with open arms, which, directly or indirectly, support terrorist organizations. You are feeding a snake in your bed. And that snake you are feeding can bite you at any moment." [1] Four days later, on March 22, the same team that carried out the attacks in Saint-Denis and Paris perpetrated the attacks in Zaventem and Brussels (35 dead and 340 wounded).
You should know that one of the terrorists who participated in the attacks in France and Belgium, Mohammed Abrini, known as "the man in the hat," was an informant for MI6 [2]. He warned London (which, on principle, supported Turkey), but neither Paris nor Brussels.
There was no third wave because, once France had created "Rojava" (the Syrian region seized by Kurdish mercenaries) in Syria, the United States intervened and stipulated that it should not be an independent state, but an "autonomous region." The Turks were satisfied to no longer have the PKK Kurds within their borders, and the French could claim to have more or less fulfilled their promise.
A massive trial was held in Paris, lasting ten months in 2021-2022. François Hollande testified but never once mentioned his political responsibility in these tragedies. None of the judges asked him any questions on the matter.
Our leaders are not accountable to the Nation.
A museum in Paris will be dedicated to terrorism. It is doomed to failure. Indeed, according to its manifesto, its purpose is to "give meaning to the suffering endured by the victims by offering keys to understanding an ongoing history." That is to say, everything that our irresponsible politicians are obstructing.
Moreover, terrorism, whether perpetrated by isolated individuals, groups or states, is not a fact in itself, but a method of combat that can be practiced by all military organizations without exception, including regular armies.
In 2001, after the attacks in New York and at the Pentagon, George W. Bush, President of the United States, declared a "war on terror." To achieve this, the world's largest army transformed itself into a band of criminals practicing torture on a vast scale.
Every time we use the word "terrorism," we risk reacting emotionally and failing to understand what is at stake.
