EXCLUSIVITÉ FRANCE INFO – Au moins quatre personnes ayant gravité dans la galaxie de l’ex-leader indépendantiste corse sont tombées sous les balles en deux ans. Le dernier d’entre eux, Jacques Nacer, mercredi soir. Alain Orsoni confie ses craintes au micro de France Info. Jacques Nacer a été atteint peu avant 19 heures par des tirs dans son magasin du centre-ville d’Ajaccio. Le président de la Chambre de Commerce et d’industrie de Corse-du-Sud est décédé dans une fusillade à Ajaccio
Alain Orsini says his life is in danger due to the fact that people close to him have been executed in Corsica. Since the start of this year 17 people have been assassinated as a result of internacine rivalry and mafia involvement. The French government is adament that Corsica is part of the Republic and must abide by the rule of law. Yet Jacques Nacer, president of the chambre of commerce can be gunned down in his own shop. Judges and politicians and reformed independalists are not safe as many have been victims. There are definite parallels with Northern Ireland and it’s paramilitary activity. Major players in that struggle have been involved with the Basque conflict but the Corsica struggle is being played out in silence. Omerta is very deep rooted in Corsica.
About bill

The artistic side involves writing under the nom de plume of Billy Olsenn, his recently written play 'A Case of Wine' was staged by the players group Straight Make-Up at the 2012 Birr one act drama festival. It's next staging was in the one act circuit is in Cavan, at Maudebawn on Sat 10 Nov 2012. Then it was performed in the Bray, Co.Wicklow at the very popular one act festival in January 2013.
Next play is FEAR. A dark tale about revenge on the cruel death of two pensioners by young thugs. Neighbours hatch a devious and dangerous plan to exact old-style revenge. Bill is a member of the Drama League of Ireland and his plays have been critically vetted and certified as original pieces of work by the DLI.
Another literary project is that of commemoration of an aircraft crash on Djouce mountain in Wicklow in 1946. Bill wrote articles for the 50th, 60th and most recently the 70th anniversary, (12 Aug
2016) all were published in the Wicklow Times and ensured the survivors of the crash, all French Girl Guides, were not forgotten. Articles reproduced on this website.
But mostly this site gives a more general European and specific French slant on popular and not so popular articles of French news, translated to English by the author. Each article is translated on a paragraph by paragraph basis so easy to read in either language and even possible to improve either language by comparison of the short English and French paragraphs. Amusez vous bien.
The author is currently writing an easy to read technical aviation book centered around the Fokker 50.
Another interest is that dealt with in another of Bill's websites www.realnamara.net, a Statue of the mother of God, Mary. It was erected in 1972 in Dublin, at the end of the Bull Wall near Clontarf, and my grandfather William Nelson, was the main instigator of that project. I give talks on the history of the statue and my grandfather's adventurous and dangerous life at sea.
