The Sommet de la Francophonie is an international summit conference involving the leaders of nearly every French-speaking country in the world. Fifty-two heads of state along with their aides, more than 1,000 members of the press, and over 2,500 security and intelligence agents were scheduled to invade a small Canadian town of fewer than 100,000.
