Residents of La Paternelle return to their city for a neighborhood party. Residents tired of seeing the DZ Mafia and the Yoda gang fighting over control of drug sales outlets.
The repeated efforts of the Republican Security Companies (CRS) and the field brigades, combined with the long-term work carried out by the judicial police, contributed to making the traffickers leave. The atypical alleys of the city have been freed from the presence of dealers and lookouts who fiercely competed for control of its lucrative deal points. “People can live now. Yet a year ago, we were afraid to bring our children out here,’ recalls Rajaa, also a volunteer within the association.
