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
