French President Emmanuel Macron vows to rebuild destroyed icon and national treasure, Notre Dame cathedral within five years.
French President Emmanuel Macron has vowed to rebuild the Notre Dame cathedral within five years after the 800 year old architectural masterpiece that took over 200 years to build was ravaged by fire.
In an address to the nation, President Macron said:
“We have so much to rebuild. Yes we will rebuild the cathedral and we will make it more beautiful and I want that to be done in five years. We need to work, we have to act and we will succeed. Long live the republic and long live France.”
He added: “It is up to us to change this disaster into an opportunity to come together, having deeply reflected on what we have been and what we have to be and become better than we are. It is up to us to find the thread of our national project.”
The cause of the fire is still unknown.

Since you’re here …
… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Al-Sahawat Times than ever but advertising revenues across the global media industry are falling fast. And unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a total paywall. We want to keep our journalism as open as we can. So you can see why we need to ask for your help. Al-Sahawat Times’ independent, investigative journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we believe truly ethical media and an unbias perspective really matters.
“I appreciate there not being a paywall: it is more democratic for the media to be available for all and not a commodity to be purchased by a few. I’m happy to make a contribution so others with less means still have access to information.”
If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, the future of ethical media and the futures of our staff and their families would be much more secure. For as little as £1, you can support Al-Sahawat Times and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
