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 the entrance of As De Trefle roundabout in Magenta. In the background, you can see a huge crowd of people trying to access the Magenta market hall, protected by law enforcement from any looting and vandalism. 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

                  Macron Puts New Caledonia Voting Reform On Hold

                  Macron Puts New Caledonia Voting Reform On Hold

                  Friday, May 24th - Dumbéa - 2:00 PM - Protesters at the Appogotti Bridge checkpoint. President Emmanuel Macron says he will not force through a controversial voting reform in the French Pacific territory of New Caledonia following deadly rioting. Speaking on a visit to the main island, Mr Macron said local leaders should engage in dialogue to find an alternative agreement for the archipelago's future. Seven people including two police officers have been killed and hundreds more wounded in riots, looting and arson. Currently, voting in the territory is restricted to indigenous Kanaks and those who arrived from France before 1998. The planned reform would see more French residents, including any who have been in New Caledonia for at least 10 years, able to vote. Photo by Gill Chabaud/ABACAPRESS.COM
