Attentats à Paris et à Maiduguri: indignation à deux vitesses? (CNN)

CNN s'intéresse aux réactions différentes après les attentats en France et au Nigéria. L'article présente quelques tentatives d'explication. En voici une:

 "Symbolism The terrorist attack on the satirical publication Charlie Hebdo was not just violent, but highly symbolic.

While the terrorists in Nigeria targeted innocent civilians in a strategic northern town in Nigeria and in a crowded marketplace, the gunmen who stormed the headquarters of Charlie Hebdo took aim at one of the most cherished values in France: freedom of expression.

The attack quickly sparked the hashtag and image on social media proclaiming "Je Suis Charlie," I am Charlie. In a way that few nations would, the French people took the attack on Charlie Hebdo as an attack on the very core of their country's constitution and values -- a country where the line between politics and culture blends often seamlessly and where criticism and mockery of public officials rushes toward -- not away -- from controversy."
