Hollande calls for 'unity, vigilance and mobilisation'

French President Francoise Hollande gave a televised address a few moments ago, in which he called on the French public to maintain their 'unity, vigilance and mobilisation".

Confirming reports that four people were killed in the supermarket siege, the Premier warned that France has not yet faced down all the threats that it must counter.

"I call for unity...it is our best weapon. We must show our determination to fight anything and everything that divides us".

Hollande condemned anti-Semitism, calling today's siege at a kosher supermarket in Paris "a terrible act".

He also stressed that "the people who committed these attacks, these fanatics, have nothing to do with the Islamic faith".

After thanking French soldiers, he confirmed that the leaders of several European countries have pledged to attend Sunday's unity march in Paris.

"We have an ideal that is greater than us. I call upon all French men and women to rise on Sunday together…in the name of pluralism, democracy and liberalism, to which we are all attached and which Europe represents. Long live the Republic, long live France".
