A prophecy delivered by Prophet Eric Boahen Uche, Founder and Leader of Reign House Chapel International, has drawn attention following confirmation of mass protests and arrests in France this week.
On September 3, 2025, the Ghanaian preacher prophesied that France would face a wave of uncertainties, marked by widespread demonstrations and police actions.
During a church service, he declared that he foresaw many protests in France throughout September, warning his congregation not to dismiss the prophetic despite skepticisms from critics.
"As we speak, I hear there will be a lot of protests in France this month. The country France, there will be a lot of protest in this month of September. Let them insult us; they have been insulting us since but when it happens then... don't undermine prophecy.
"The same way there are fake people in the job you do, so it is with the pastoral ministry. Don't undermine the prophetic," he said.
Just a week later, on September 10, the prophecy appeared to manifest as France was engulfed in nationwide unrests under the slogan "Block Everything" (Bloquons Tout).
Led by left-wing movements, the protests combined strikes, road blockades and acts of civil disobedience in opposition to what demonstrators described as years of
austerity and deepening inequality.
Nearly 300 people were arrested after clashes with police, who deployed tear gas in several cities.

Authorities said 80,000 police officers had been mobilised, though French media reported the figure was closer to 100,000.
In Rennes, a bus was set ablaze, while disruptions to rail services were reported in the southwest.
The demonstrations erupted just days after former Prime Minister François Bayrou lost a confidence vote in parliament.
President Emmanuel Macron quickly appointed Defence Minister Sébastien Lecornu, a close ally, as Bayrou's replacement.
Lecornu becomes the fifth prime minister in less than two years, and the fourth within just 12 months, developments critics say underscores France's deepening political crisis.
Protesters across cities such as Paris, Lyon, Marseille, Montpellier, Bordeaux and Toulouse voiced anger, saying Macron's decision to appoint a loyal ally was "a slap in the face" and a clear indication that nothing would change.
In Paris, riot police clashed with youths blocking schools and train stations, while firefighters cleared burned debris from barricades.
A representative of the CGT union said Macron, not his ministers, was the real problem and called for his resignation.
The discontent has resonated strongly with ordinary citizens.
An 18-year-old student in Paris said she had hoped for either a dissolution of parliament or a left-wing prime minister, adding that Macron's move was frustrating.
