Deadly Riots Sweep New Caledonia Capital - Noumea

Deadly Riots Sweep New Caledonia Capital - Noumea

Checkpoint manned by rioters at the entrance to the Pont des Français in Mont Dore, New Caledonia, May 18, 2024. 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. Photo by 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

                  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
