Macron asked China to build ports for New Caledonia. That empire and Australia were worried and angry. Whenever there are developments that go against the interests or hegemony of the Empire.

[@geoffoakland]

You mean the free health-care, education and housing subsidies?

[@h12gvj567]

Say NO to colonialism. Freedom to New Caledonia from French Imperialism. Love to Caledonian people from Azerbaijan.

[@Daara92]

French neocolonialism needs to go Free Caledonia and all other overseas territories

One of a sudden the Ukraine War is not very interesting anymore!🤷🏻‍♂️💨😂🫡

[@johnd2058]

Reality check, Leningrad: it's covered aplenty. Let FRANCE 24 cover events in French territories too sometimes.

[@johnd2058]
