      Deadly Riots Sweep New Caledonia Capital - Noumea

      Saturday, May 18, 2024 - Noumea - Convoy of supplies and medicines being escorted by law enforcement forces. One more person was killed Saturday and two injured in France's Pacific territory of New Caledonia as security personnel tried to restore order after a fifth night of riots and looting that has now claimed six lives. For almost a week, the usually unhurried oceanside city has been convulsed. Two gendarmes have been killed: one shot in the head and a second shot in friendly fire, officials said. Three other people, all Indigenous Kanaks, have also been killed: a 17-year-old and two men aged 20 and 36. The unrest has been blamed on economic malaise, social tensions and, above all, a political fight between mostly Indigenous pro-independence activists and Paris authorities.
