Why are there riots in French overseas territory of New Caledonia? • FRANCE 24 English

France deployed troops to New Caledonia's ports and international airport, banned TikTok and imposed a state of emergency on Thursday (May 16) after three nights of clashes that have left four dead and hundreds wounded. "This state of emergency is pretty unprecedented in New Caledonia", said FRANCE 24's International Affairs Editor, Philip Turle. He gives us his analysis.

The answer is simple: Give New Caledonia independence. No French citizen would accept being colonized by, let us say, Russia or Germany.

"There are three kinds of violence. The first, the mother of all others, is institutional violence, the kind that legalizes and perpetuates domination, oppression and exploitation, the kind that crushes and crushes millions of people in its silent, well-oiled machinery. The second is revolutionary violence, born of the desire to abolish the first. The third is repressive violence, whose aim is to stifle the second by becoming the auxiliary and accomplice of the first violence, the one that engenders all the others. There is no greater hypocrisy than to call only the second violence, pretending to forget the first, which gives birth to it, and the third, which kills it." FREE FREE KANAKY MUST BE FREE

First French will throw out radicalised people from France. Then they will think about Caledonia
