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

Scene of looting at the Kenu In shopping center located on the outskirts of Nouméa. An area where the clashes have been violent and order has not yet been restored. Some people are taking advantage of the chaos and the fact that law enforcement is occupied with trying to regain control of the city to loot the stores. 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

    Friday, May 24 - Dumbéa - Debris from looted and burnt stores at the Kenu In shopping center in Koutio. 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
