Kilian Mbape has called for an end to the riots that have engulfed France.
The World Cup winner tweeted that "the violence must end" as unrest continued for a fourth night across the country.
Tens of thousands of police officers have been sent to the streets to try to prevent widespread unrest following the fatal police shooting of a 17-year-old, with commuters rushing home before transport services were shut down early for safety reasons.
The police officer accused of pulling the trigger on Tuesday was handed a preliminary charge of manslaughter after prosecutor Pascal Prache said his initial investigation led him to conclude that "the conditions for the legal use of the weapon were not met".
" Like all French people, we too were shocked by the brutal death of young Nahel.
First, our thoughts go out to him and his family, to whom we offer our sincere condolences.
Of course, we cannot remain insensitive to the circumstances in which this unacceptable death occurred.
Since this tragic event, we have witnessed the expression of popular anger, the essence of which we understand, but the form of which we cannot approve.
With many of us coming from working-class neighborhoods, these feelings of pain and sadness we also share.
But to this suffering is added that of powerless assistance to a real process of self-destruction.
Violence solves nothing, much less when it inevitably turns against those who express it, their families, loved ones and neighbors.
It's your property you're destroying, your neighborhoods, your cities, your places of fulfillment and intimacy.
In this context of extreme tension, we cannot remain silent and our civic conscience encourages us to call for calm, awareness and accountability.
That of social actors, parents, brothers and sisters big or small in our neighborhoods, who must work to restore peace in our cities.
There are other peaceful and constructive ways to express yourself. This is exactly where our energies and thoughts should be focused.
The time of violence must end to give way to mourning, dialogue and reconstruction ," the footballer wrote.
