History

Historical Context

The October-27, 2005 riots that began in Clichy-sous-Bois spread to 274 French towns, burned nearly 9,000 vehicles and caused €200 million in damage, prompting a state of emergency. The unrest underscored security concerns, prompting large-scale exhibitions like Milipol that convene hundreds of firms; Milipol Qatar 2026, backed by the National Cyber Security Authority, now guides Gulf cyber-defence policy.
