New Caledonia Riots: Death Toll Reaches Six, France Launches Operation
New Caledonia Riots: Death Toll Reaches Six, France Launches Operation
Violence continues to grip New Caledonia’s capital Noumea and has killed at least six people. The Noumea Mayor Sonia Lagarde has said that New Caledonia is "under siege" as numerous public buildings have been set on fire and "situation far from calm". The French government has launched a "major operation" to control the violence and has sent 600 heavily armed personnel to Noumea. The troops aim to retake the road to the airport from unrest-hit Noumea as flight operations have been suspended in the unrest, leaving around 3,200 people stranded. The unrest gripped the Pacific archipelago of 270,000 people on May 13 after the French government announced plans to allow non-indigenous residents of New Caledonia to vote. The region's indigenous Kanak group, which opposes French rule, and pro-independence groups claim the move would dilute indigenous votes. Kanak community makes up about 40% of New Caledonia's population.

@@An_ony_mousBecause majority of Caledonians are afraid of French millitary power that holds them under occupation. France is oppressing small people because it can. On the other hand, France supported independence of so called Kosovo - literally using army to help it and later money to finance it's public sector.

So everyone in the US should leave the country and give it back to the native Americans right? You do realize that many people have been in New Caledonia for generations and also just like the natives, see it as their homeland. You can't just say "France leave", they build the country the infrastucture and everything in it, we speak the same language and share a lot of culture. You want the whole of Europe deport non native people from their countries as well? That's just not how reality works..

What failure? Failure to prevent an uprising? Occupation always brings resistance.
My relatives live in NC said, most Chinese shops are not under attack. Vietnam is one lesson NC's residents should learn. In 1945, north Vietnamese group under China's influence, raised the independent reason to fight against France, only to replace France's dominance until now.

What are French colonists doing 16,800 km away from France? Westerners who ask what they are doing in Cyprus, 60 km away from Turkey, are extremely hypocritical. As Turks, we stand by New Caledonia's struggle for independence. French imperialists, get out of Caledonia.

It's their way of disguising their colonialism.
Once the land belonged to indigenous people, then looters came from Europe, in this case, France. Next, the people of the land do not own the land. They just exist as "indigenous minority" group.
