Macron says French police to remain in riot-hit New Caledonia | BBC News

President Emmanuel Macron has vowed that French police forces will remain for "as long as necessary" in New Caledonia, as he arrived in the riot-plagued French Pacific territory.
Mr Macron said the 3,000-strong force deployed from France would stay put - even during the Paris Summer Olympics if required.
Six people, including two police officers, have been killed and hundreds injured in the riots triggered by a controversial electoral reform proposed last week.

[@signefurax933]

​Some whites, some of whom have been there for 7 generations, in the French media about the racism of the Kanaks towards the white Kanaks and of course the Caldoches. If the new Caledonia becomes independent, the whites will be massacred and we cannot let this happen. If we accept a left-wing policy in mainland France, we must accept that the whites are also at home in New Caledonia and it is propaganda to believe that the French state would have diabolically sent whites to populate the island, this is completely false. The message has now got through and I think that many white people don't want to live on the island anymore, so it's up to the original Kanaks to have a lot of children, but they have to respect the demographics and the French institutions. In any case, no one talks about the original Kanaks who are loyalists and want to remain French.​@@ivtch51

It's the Kanak extremists who want other ethnic groups to lack the same Democratic rights as they themselves enjoy. And regarding apartheid, in South Africa today it's laws that give privileges to the Black majority, that ethnic minorities not enjoy, like people of Malaysian, Indian and White ethnicity. For example if a Black person apply to a work, and someone of none Black ethnicity also apply for the same work, and have far superior qualifications, they still by South African law have to give the work to the guy who is Black, even if he not are even close to have the same qualifications as the other applicants. Just because his Black. Just one example of the apartheid in South Africa after anc did take power. And a other example would be that according to South African law, a work place have to have over 50 % Black employees. And by the way the huge majority of Black people in South Africa are Zulu. And they not the first people in South Africa, it was two different occasions of people coming in to South Africa before the Dutch ( and some French as well) did come there in the 1700-centuary. The first Black people come from Western Africa, and called themselves San, ( the White people did call them Bushman) and then later come the second group of Black people into South Africa, and they did come from Eastern Africa. This groups of Black people make up less than 10% of the Black people in South Africa today. Both the Boer ( Dutch and French people) and the Malaysians did come about 100 years before the Zulus to South Africa. So we were here first is by its very nature a racist motive, that historically may not even be true some times.

That sounds extremely racist!! So with that logic people from Africa and the Middle East belong to Africa or the Middle East, and should just get out of France right now!? And France is for ethic French people only?! And the same for people from other parts of the world?!

they rejected independence multiple times in referendums. These rioters don't speak for all Kanaks. Europeans and Polynesians don't even have voting rights on the island, Kanaks do. But of course you speak loudly about thinks you don't know anything about.

bbc say the french make up 40% of the population. According to google there are about 40,000 french residence. That would make it about 15% of the population. The population of New Caledon is or was 269,220 as of 2022.

I didnt know there was a place called New Caledonia in France? O wait, its the other side of the planet. If France are so tough why dont they send there troops to a conflict in Eastern Europe? Go on France we all dare you to send 30,000 (if they can muster than many) to the Ukrainian front line......

[@andanahu]

Why does France still has that much of colonies, where the native population wants it's independence. Even England doesn't have that. Free Kanaky

[@alekzander2010]

The native population don't necessarily want independence, they've already had three Referendums for it and all three of them failed to get a majority for independence.

[@aintnoslice3422]

New Caledonia doesn't want independence, it rejected independence on multiple occasions. The riots and independence activists don't speak for all Kanaks, and they want to keep a majority of the population permanently disenfranchised. But clearly they're in the right, right? Such ignorant doublethink.

​@@alekzander2010 When Brunei became independent there wasn't any referendum at all. The British knew it was the right thing to do.

[@alekzander2010]

@@Janovial What an utterly asinine comparison. How would it be the "right thing to do" to FORCE people to be independent against their will? Besides, Brunei was never an integrated part of the UK with equal voting and citizenship rights. New Caledonia is integrated into France like Hawaii is in the USA.
