New Caledonia Unrest | French President Macron Makes Surprise Trip To Tense Region | G18V

French President Emmanuel Macron is making a surprise trip to New Caledonia, the French Pacific territory that has been gripped by days of deadly unrest and where indigenous people have long sought independence. Six people have been killed, and hundreds of others injured in New Caledonia during armed clashes, looting and arson, raising new questions about Macron's handling of France's colonial legacy. There have been decades of tensions between indigenous Kanaks who seek independence for the archipelago of 270,000 people, and descendants of colonizers and others who have settled on the island and who want to remain part of France.

His visit proves the point … New Caledonia is just a colony of France that never gained real independence after WW2 … and the indigenous see themselves being permanently squeezed out and replaced.

It is sad to see this situation.There is no doubt that it is a true case of chronic colonialism/ imperialism !!!! I must predict that unless the U.N. intervenes, the violence will escalate. France should have taken seriously the demand for indigenous sovereignty years ago. It is too late for anything but a brutal, ugly ending to this chapter in world colonial abuse !!!!

[@peeptweet]

Freedom to New Caledonia! Stop French colonialism! Azerbaijan will support the Kanak people in their quest for liberation. The global community must address French fascism and excessive nationalism.

Revolution

[@minhthunguyendang9900]

1:50 Of course that the repatriated Australians are due to unrest, which means that they are so traumatized that they cannot rest yet. Syntax can be 😄

[@Aotegar2Mergiirk]

Ridiculous how the French do not want to lose New Caledonia in this day and age - sad really!

[@Moranguinho13503]

Nao querem perder porque é um ponto estratégico, de qualquer maneira se a França abre mao, a China chega com tudo, é podem crer sera muito pior 😔

[@ohpatriote5622]

After 3 referendums people of NC choose to be french and not a socialist republic dictature like Venezuela So NC is a french part. Dont care about what foreigners are saying its not their business... take care of the status of aborigines and mahoris instead

[@guessundheit6494]

40,000 white French colonialists were sent there to vote illegally in domestic elections, and then Paris pretends to be "surprised" that the Kanak people objected.

[@rezalzmz]

Stirred up hornet's nest, got stung, play victim.

[@marccru]

Not how it happened. Stop making up the narrative.
