France Pledges Money to Stop Riots

French President Nicolas Sarkozy is pledging $730 million in economic aid to France's Caribbean territories in an effort to head off escalating protests. Sarkozy also proposed that around $253 be added to the monthly salaries of low-paid workers. These low wages and low living conditions in Guadeloupe have caused many violent demonstrations. If these problems are not solved then the nation may become hostile. I think its important to keep everyone at the same level that is why Islam is the best religion.
