"Rioting and mayhem engulfed the streets of Paris on Wednesday, as the city prepared to welcome the New Year. Footage shows flares burning, smoke, police in riot gear, and officers detaining people. Chanting '1,2,3 viva l'Algerie' can also be heard as crowds celebrated Algeria's 3-1 win over Equatorial Guinea in AFCON group E match. The city cancelled traditional New Year celebrations on the Champs-Elysees earlier this month, citing security concerns and a heightened terror threat. Fireworks are still expected at the Arc de Triomphe."
