France: 15 Days After Mayor Declares Town Safe Haven for Migrants, Syrian Stabs 6 Including 4 Toddlers in Knife Attack (Video)

The serene town of Annecy was shattered by an unimaginable act of violence on June 8 as a knife attack by a Syrian migrant unfolded in its very heart. In a devastating turn of events, innocent victims, including young children, fell victim to the vicious assault. The horrifying incident has reignited the debate surrounding mass migration and the consequences of lax asylum policies, particularly in the wake of a recently declared “safe haven” status by the city’s mayor.

In a lakeside park in Annecy, a once safe area and a tourist hotspot became a scene of unspeakable horror as the terrorist, identified as Abdalmasih H., a Syrian migrant, unleashed a merciless stabbing spree. Witnesses, shaken to their cores, recounted the harrowing moments when the attacker targeted defenseless strollers and repeatedly stabbed the innocent children within. Screams pierced the air, a heart-wrenching testament to the terror that unfolded before their eyes.

Warning: distressing videos:

Abdalmasih is currently in custody; his state of health is to be examined. His mother, who lives in the United States, told the AFP news agency that her son suffers from “severe depression”. The fact that Swedish and French authorities rejected his application for citizenship “probably upset him”.

Disturbingly, just 15 days before the attack, Annecy’s left-wing mayor Francois Astorg proudly proclaimed the city as a “safe haven” for migrants. This declaration has now come under intense scrutiny, raising questions about the wisdom of policies prioritizing political posturing over the safety and well-being of local communities.

Amidst the chaos, one individual emerged as a beacon of courage. Henri, a young man on a personal pilgrimage to explore France’s cathedrals, displayed remarkable bravery in the face of danger. Henri managed to hold off the attacker until law enforcement arrived and swiftly neutralized the threat. Former French presidential candidate Eric Zemmour praised Henri’s actions:

Zemmour stands out as one of the rare French politicians who vehemently oppose open borders and tirelessly sound the alarm on the perils posed by mass illegal migration.

Former professional Liverpool soccer player Anthony Le Tallec found himself in the midst of a chilling playground attack, witnessing the horrifying rampage unfold before his eyes. He urgently pleaded with the police to shoot the knifeman as he watched an elderly man being viciously stabbed. Le Tallec filmed the harrowing scenes as the Syrian went on a ruthless spree, targeting innocent children in the tranquil French Alps. Amidst the chaos, a distressed mother warned him of the lakeshore stabbing spree. Despite the shock, Le Tallec kept moving forward until the assailant confronted him. With police just meters away but unable to catch him, Le Tallec commanded, “Shoot him!” The officers finally fired, bringing down the attacker. Continuing his path, he was confronted with wounded children and lamented the slow police response.

The aftermath of the attack revealed the tragic toll it had exacted. Six individuals, including four children aged between 22 and 36 months, now lie in critical condition, fighting for their lives. Among the victims were French and Dutch children, while a British national also suffered at the hands of this senseless violence.

Abdalmasih’s Background

Abdalmasih H., the assailant in the recent incident, is a Syrian migrant who sought refuge in multiple countries before arriving in France. Originally from the Syrian town of Al-Hassake, Abdalmasih served in the Syrian army before leaving his country in 2011 amidst the civil war. After illegally entering Turkey, he met his future wife, a compatriot, and the couple eventually settled in Sweden.

In 2013, Abdalmasih obtained a permanent residence permit in Sweden, where he lived with his wife in Trollhattan. However, their relationship recently ended in divorce, leaving behind a three-year-old daughter. His ex-wife revealed that Abdalmasih had been struggling to obtain French nationality and had been residing in a church. He applied for asylum in France in November of last year, but his application was rejected just four days ago because he already held a residence permit in Sweden.

According to Abdalmasih’s mother, who currently resides in the United States, he had been suffering from “serious depression,” which was exacerbated by the series of citizenship refusals. His ex-wife also confirmed his ongoing battle with depression, stating that he constantly felt down, had dark thoughts, and withdrew from social interactions. She further explained that Abdalmasih had requested Swedish citizenship but was repeatedly rejected since 2017, potentially adding to his mental state.

Abdalmasih H.’s journey highlights the flaws in the asylum system, as he had obtained refugee status in Sweden after spending a decade in the country. He then moved to France, where his asylum application was ultimately rejected shortly before the attack. The ease with which he traversed borders and the failure of multiple nations to adequately assess his motives and mental state raise serious concerns about the efficacy of vetting procedures.

The knife attack in Annecy serves as a chilling reminder of the new normal faced by Western countries grappling with mass migration. Communities are forced to confront the consequences of uncontrolled immigration, where innocent lives are forever altered by acts of violence. It is a stark call to action for governments to prioritize the safety and well-being of their citizens above all else.
