Riot

Riot

French high school and university students attend a demonstration in Nantes as part of an ongoing protest movement demanding better school conditions and government action, France, October 15, 2026. The slogan on the placard reads "Bismillah c'est les tenebres" (Bismillah, it's darkness). Photo: REUTERS/Stephane Mahe

'Bismillah, c'est les ténèbres': What does the slogan mean, and why are French students using it?

The phrase, mixing Arabic and French, has become a sarcastic protest slogan mocking suspected police infiltration of student movements, amid wider tensions over discrimination and surveillance.
