More than one million people gathered in Paris today to stage a defiant march against terror alongside world leaders. The moving spectacle comes in the wake of multiple acts of terror this week, including one on the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo. The attacks left 17 dead.
The march, known as the Marche Republicaine, drew countless French citizens, as well as over 40 foreign leaders, including the Palestinian president and the Israeli prime minister. Talking to the Associated Press, French President Francois Hollande said:
"Today, Paris is the capital of the world," "Our entire country will rise up toward something better."
Reuters called the solidarity march an "unprecedented tribute." See more photos bellow:
