The protests, which have been simmering for weeks, were organised by the pro-independence field action coordination committee (CCAT) in response to plans by France to expand voter eligibility in local elections to include French nationals who have lived on the island for more than 10 years. The move, which is due to come up for debate in the French parliament on Tuesday, is strongly opposed by leaders of the Indigenous Kanak population, who see it as an attempt to further minimise their influence

  3. France sows havoc wherever it set foot during colonization. This way, even if colonization is over, France still controls those regions and leeches off their diamond, gold and gas. Sahel region is a great example too!

  8. Google Earth New Caledonia and see how they are stripping that island of its minerals, an ecological massacre. They claim they are first world and progressive, yet they run an mass extraction colony, something must give.

  9. Watching this tell me how Europian countries are playing unfair practices in relation to some minority on other states for more rights like self governance while they're taking away these very basic rights from their minority.

  12. Long live the fight against colonialism,may your ancestors fight alongside you Kanak people until freedom and independence is your!!!,i hope that the people of the Comoros Islands are watching and learning!!aluta Continue ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾

  14. Say NO to colonialism. Freedom to New Caledonia from French Imperialism. Love ❤️ to Caledonian people from Azerbaijan ❤ 🇦🇿 🇦🇿

  15. Россия должна бороться за независимость Новой Каледонии и дать освободителям оружие ракеты и танки.

  19. If France leaves… It will be the next Haiti. Like it or not, European powers often brought more order and raised standards of living.
    Dont care what anyone says.

  25. Caledonia is french and will remain it !

    We lost Algeria, we won't lose Caledonia.

    Kanaks lost 3 referendum in a row, loyalists are the majority of those islands.
