France Will Be in a State of Emergency for Three Months: Hollande Vows to 'Destroy' ISIS and Pledges 'No Barbarians Will Prevent Us from Living How We Have Decided to Live'


DAILY MAIL: Francois [sic] Hollande is sending more jets to 'destroy ISIS' for the 129 dead / President also calling for UN resolution to fight on the ground in Syria / Army will stay on streets and strict border controls will last until into 2016 / He said: 'Terrorism will never destroy the republic, because the republic will destroy terrorism'

France will be in a state of emergency for the next three months and is now 'at war' with ISIS, Francois [sic] Hollande said today.

The French President told MPs in Paris he 'will destroy' the terror group by intensifying bombing raids on targets in Syria and is sending an aircraft carrier packed with jets this week.

In a speech at Versailles this afternoon Mr Hollande announced he wants a new UN Security Council resolution to fight ISIS, which could in theory lead to a coalition ground invasion.

He said: 'France is at war. No barbarians will prevent us from living how we have decided to live. To live fully. Terrorism will never destroy the republic, because the republic will destroy terrorism'.

To make France safer from future attacks he said he would change the law to revoke terrorists of their French citizenship and ban them from entering the country. Read on and comment » | Martin Robinson for MailOnline | Monday, November 16, 2015
