In pictures: Paris riot suburb residents

Mamadou Nyang, 19

This sweatshirt says 'Dead - for nothing'. It's in memory of the dead boys, Bouna and Zyed.

I left school two years ago but have never had a job. As soon as I say my name and where I live, they tell me the vacancy has gone.

I am happy to do any job, except be a policeman. I hate the police. As soon as they see blacks or Arabs, they just try and cause trouble.
