The front page of the new issue of satirical French weekly Charlie Hebdo entitled "C'est Reparti" ("Here we go again"), is displayed at a kiosk in Nice February 25, 2015. More than 2.5 million copies of this second issue since the January 7, 2015 attack by gunmen on the magazine's offices which killed twelve people, are slated to be published and on the news stands this Wednesday.
