BBC: Controversy is growing in France over an open letter signed by former and serving members of the military, warning of the threat of civil war.
About 1,000 servicemen and women, including some 20 retired generals, put their names to the letter.
They blame "a certain anti-racism" for creating divisions between communities, and say Islamists are taking over whole parts of the nation's territory.
Ministers have condemned the message published by a right-wing magazine.
The letter was first published on 21 April - the 60th anniversary of a failed coup d'état.
"The hour is grave, France is in peril," the signatories said. » | Tuesday, April 27, 2021
