a hashtag nomination to pay my condolences to the affected families and show my support.
"I want to express my outrage at the despicable attack today against the French magazine: Charlie Hebdo. It was a horrendous, unjustifiable and cold-blooded crime. It was also a direct assault on the cornerstone of democracy on freedom of expression.
I extend my deepest condolences to the families and my best to all those injured.
...
This horrific attack is meant to divide, We must not fall into that trap. This is a moment for solidarity. Around the world we must stand strong for freedom of expression and tolerance and stand against the forces of division and hate."
Ban Ki Moon, U.N. Secretary General.
