Parts Of New Caledonia ‘Out Of State Control’ - Pierre

Remains of burned cars and other vandalism carried out by rioters during the first night of terror at Ducos Tensions remained high in Noumea, the capital of New Caledonia, on Friday after days of riots as the French government’s representative said areas of the Pacific territory have “escaped” state control. Louis Le Franc, high commissioner of the Republic in New Caledonia, announced new security deployments. The number of police and gendarmes on the island will rise to 2,700 from 1,700 by Friday evening. After rioting that began on Monday, leaving five dead and resulting in hundreds of arrests, Thursday night was relatively calm, he said. However, there were still points of confrontation and concern in Noumea. Noumea, New Caledonia, May 17, 2024. Photo by Gill Chabaud/ABACAPRESS.COM

    Riots Affect Supplies - New Caledonia

    A producer set up by the roadside on Baie des Citrons to sell his products and allow people to resupply. Noumea, New Caledonia, France, May 30, 2024. France lifted the state of emergency, imposed when tensions spilled over this month on the tiny French-Pacific territory, and indigenous Kanaks protested over planned electoral reforms. Seven people have been killed and hundreds more hurt since violence erupted in the archipelago between Australia and Fiji. Road blocks were making it a challenge to get food supplies to stores in several areas or to provide secure travel for medical staff. Photo by Chabaud Gill/ABACAPRESS.COM

                      Court of First Instance where the immediate appearance of the perpetrators of the acts committed during the riots took place. Seven more mobile force units will soon arrive as reinforcements in New Caledonia, the Elysee said in a statement on Monday, also indicating a state of emergency would end as planned in the French Pacific territory on Tuesday morning local time. Seven people have been killed, hundreds arrested and large numbers of buildings and cars destroyed in a fortnight of upheaval triggered by a contested electoral reform and fuelled by sharp economic disparities between the indigenous Kanak population and people of European background.
