State Of Emergency To Be Lifted In Riot-Hit New Caledonia
Access to the Savexpress remains difficult with burning debris, as seen here under the bridge at the northern entrance of Ducos and Rivière Salée. 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.
