Is it time for France to step toward decolonisation?

Amid days of violence in New Caledonia, Emmanuel Macron's visit was seen as an attempt to quell tensions. His decision to postpone, but not ditch legislation aimed at granting French immigrants expanded voting rights has drawn criticism from indigenous activists, who perceive it as an intentional dilution of their influence. Is it time to take steps toward decolonisation?

[@andrewlim9345]

Just a background. Besides the Kanaks and Caldoche (French migrants), there are also significant populations of Tahitians, Wallisians, Vietnamese and Indonesians. Under the Noumea Accords, Kanaks and only non-Kanaks who lived in the territory before 1998 are allowed to vote. This has created a significant number of non-voters. There were three independence referenda but the Kanaks boycotted the last one because they were mourning their people who died in Covid-19. French made the mistake of disregarding Kanak concerns and proceeded with plans to amend the constitution to increase the number of non-Kanaks allowed to vote. Kanaks fear being marginalised like the indigenous peoples of NZ and Australia.

Wven if they get independence the kanak would lose to the french and vietnamese descendants living there for many generations. Most of them never lived in France. Also they have most money and most guns. The only way kanak can win is if France actively forces the non Kanak to leave. Also most older Kanak want France to remain because France is paying their pensions and hospital bills. If the french and vietnamese descendants would leave the island the nickel industry isn't enough to cover all the costs and taxes so all the Kanak would become unable to afford the stuff the french government is paying for them (school, university, hospitals, pensions, etc...) without the french it would very easy for a group like Wagner to take over and they aren't as soft as the french with rebels.

Living in Martinique (Caribbean) I can see the predicament of not being an independent and sovereign state : in fact you don't have a say on anything that matters ! It's like being considered as a minor in perpetuity. Moreover, the French have a very centralized system of government. Even though we are supposed to have now some kind of local government actually its power is very limited : we don't decide income taxes, property rights (very important as anyone from the EU can come and buy land giving way to speculation) ; our airport is branded "international" but flight rights are given by Paris, etc. And personally I think being under French administration prevents Martinique from real development and opportunities.

Thanks for that very informative report. In fact, we probably should say that it's been a while since France should have moved toward decolonisation. As ONU recommand to support indigenous people selfdetermination and as truth and reconciliation commissions move us forward those harmful colonial experiences into a post-colonial world where people are struggling worldwide to support their traditional cultures and identities against NGOs and harmful financial politics, the armed response from France is a proof that its claims in colonial power aren't suited for the 21th century. Diplomatic solutions are essential and must absolutely be prioritised. Statist violence is never, never was and never will be a democratic solution in any case. Kanak people has the right to be freed from Chinese, Russian and French greed and agressive geopolitics. Investments should be made in peace and sustainability so we can achieve peace and freedom though cultural expression worldwide in our own autodetermined terms. We must listen to kanak people demands and support their mobility into universities and francophone countries. We must respect their freedom of association with other global south neighbors and their economies with progressive mesures. Kanak people should be allowed to access chinese and russian languages classes and engage in universities as international students. Tourism should be fair and support ecology.

[@ballerblocks]

Wow....go educate yourself on Haiti, it was the first place to kick out the slave masters, the response of the western slavers was to blockade the island until they paid reparations to France for over 100 years due to loss of revenue. Haiti is the story of how to improvise a place for standing up to their white masters, and the current strife is another CIA funded guy who wants to take over the country. Europeans are vindictive in their nature whilst preaching peace only through subjugation.... evidence of my logic is china, Congo,Russia,Algeria etc.

You need to research why Haiti is in the state that it is so you can stop making ill-informed statements.

They forgot to mention that New Caledonia got not 3 but 4 occasions to vote for independence and the French citizens who moved to the island after 1998 aren’t allowed to vote. Despite all the measures clearly made to favor the independence camp they still voted 4 times NO to independence.

[@xb4518]

You are correct: New Caledonia should be given back to the native population but the same thing must be done in France where immigrants are colonising the native population.

[@marccru]

Nice try. They ain’t never leaving France.

Your France white politicians EU are the one who imported or allowed those immigrants, it has nothing to do with New Caledonia

[@bernardphillips6988]

Listening to the three women in this conversation, I cannot but feel none have any depth of the issues facing the Kanaks. And both the ladies interviewed have general ideas of French governance but none really have any understanding of the Kanak culture and history. And why the local authorities have failed to lift their educational and standard of lifting. In this day and age where everyone is so well connected it seems a massive failure of the local authorities and the French government.
