UAE embassy issues warning to citizens, visitors in Paris

Paris - In light of recent turmoil and upheaval.

The UAE Embassy in Paris just issued a series of tweets for its citizens on their official twitter handle.
The warning reads: "The UAE Embassy recommends that residents and citizens of Paris be prepared for the protests due to take place on Saturday, December 8.   
"We advise that you do not leave your residence under any circumstances and avoid the Champs-Élysées and Place du Trocadéro, Place Vendôme, Place de l'Étoile, and any gardens or squares near the Élysées Palace as well as other areas of protest.
"This is in light of there being several main and arterial-road closures in and around Paris with other cities. 
"Those who face any emergency can contact the embassy at the number 0033144340200."

This comes on the heels of recent turmoil, as Paris police and store owners are bracing for new violence at protests on Saturday, despite President Emmanuel Macron's surrender over a fuel tax hike that unleashed weeks of unrest.
Police unions and local authorities held emergency meetings on Thursday to strategise - while disparate groups of protesters did the same, sharing plans on social networks and chat groups.
Some "yellow vest" protesters called for calm on Thursday after the worst rioting in Paris in decades last weekend. Many shops and restaurants in the center of the capital are shutting down on Saturday, fearing a repeat of the violence.
Macron on Wednesday agreed to abandon the fuel tax hike, but protesters' demands have now expanded to other issues.
