For context, New Caledonians voted 3 times between 2018 and 2021 to stay French, in elections in which « newly » arrived inhabitants (those who arrived after 1998) did not have the right to vote (at the demand of the independentists).
That's important to remember, however, there's a force at work that wants to undermine and ignore these facts.
You left out the part where a huge chunk of the indigenous people didn't take part in protest because it was a lose lose situation for them.
@@Camo54553 That was true for the last vote. The first 2 they did vote.
@@alexandregamb A country in the 21st century that isn't facing the threat of invasion by neighbouring countries or a far away super would never deny their own independence willingly and choose France of all countries as their colonizer.
@@alexandregamb I think replying to that person is an exercise in futility.
Stop French colonization. It's ridiculous for an island in the Pacific to be part of France. If colonization continues, the local Kanaks will lose their island and become a minority in their homeland.
They are already the minority and have also lost their land.
french talk liberte egalite thing,but are occupying lots of lands.
Liberte for their companies to take resources from other countires...
that liberte, egalite is for french not for you. they are cristal clear on that one.
The West/ Europen US has always been self centered at any cost. France gifted a Statue of Liberty to US Om it's liberation from the English. US never supported or aided
3 referendums to know what they want. they choose to stay french with a majority. Now a few group of people go violent and you start speaking non sense.
Or maybe the fact that the population does enjoy literally the same civil rights than every French citizen regardless of the ethnic background does explain why the majority voted to stay French 3 times in a row.
Better than being in Ucraine, for sure
Sounds like they don't want you there...
Looks that way now too...
I’m sure this is nothing like Taiwan 😂
No cause they had 3 referendums and voted to stay part of France
@@gregoiregandon5728 they basically massive export frenchies into the island, outnumber the natives, then hold the referendum, of course the majority say they want to stay. Now they even want to dilute the native power even more. Exactly why the native going protest right now.
@@gregoiregandon5728 Taiwan also has voted not to join China. 50 cent army is deep on all of these stories. I wonder who is behind all of these socialist riots?
@@gregoiregandon5728you guys always think you are smart. Fresh are playing their stupid games by applying a policy that will give more immigrants right to vote 🗳️. Which will totally ruin the indigenes right of independent.. the country belongs to the indigenous people period…
I can't believe 2024 colonialism from foreign country still exist😢
Just ask russia what is their plan for siberia ,volga and the finnish territory they grabbed in the winter war.
I forgot, also chechnya ,georgia and of course how can we forget ukraine.
Shut up kanak voted against independance 3 times
@@E-the.islander I can tell you I lived on the Rez for over 30 Years and you cant blame all your problems on someone else. The Native Americans can take some of the blame on themself for what happens on the Rez, in the end its why I Left, People always wanted to blame someone else for THERE OWN PERSONAL LIFE.
@@E-the.islander now u are trying to justify colonialism
France …..keep that place. The rioters are a small minority . If you leave the Chinese colonials will move in . Don’t give up . Today “colonialism “ is an evil word . New Caledonian never had it so good…..don’t leave .
Kanak are 41 percent off population not 20 percent
"republican order". love the phrase. this is what republics are all about. finding defenseless tribes and colonizing the sheat out of them. making a mignority out of them in their own country and then preach and brag about democracy and freedom :D thank you french for teaching more about democracy and freedom.
Democracy is them voting to take your land
To put it into context. New Caledonia is part of France and even French people that have been living there for more than 20 years cannot vote. Intolerable.
New Caledonia belongs to the indigenous people and France need to leave there before their troops start to raise white flags as usual…
Tricia Takanawa reporting from new caledonia...
So the Kanaks who mostly receive benifits from the french don't like the idea of "representation" or democracy?.
They're the natives... If they want independence... They deserve it
They do just not when the French have a say on their island
@@angelcabeza6464 The french have been spending so much on the infrastructure in Caledonia so much so that they feel all nationals should have a say in voting which is a fair democratic request,the natives have responded violently and that was not how they should have behaved..
For goodness sake, France should give independence and freedom to New Caledonia 🇳🇨 Australia should stand with its neighbours 🇦🇺
France please free these people. Its 2024. Give their independence
They had 3 referendums and choose to remain french.
@@alexandregamb Do you trust those referendums 😂😂😂
@@sonofdsuncan referendums be trusted at all anymore?
@@sonofdsunThe UN actually oversaw the referendums, so yeah we do trust them.
@@AD-ry7br what UN?
Where ever pink goes, its always trouble.
The "republican order" buzz word has to be quoted in english.
It's not a french version of Taiwan for sure
No cause they had 3 referendums and voted to stay part of France
@@gregoiregandon5728sure, sure...
@@gregoiregandon5728 majority is french migrants though..thats the problem. white people took everything from the natives. they dont have the same rights abd privileges as white migrants. who's not going to be pissed by that?
@@gregoiregandon5728 They insisted French settlers vote with them
same happens in Paris
Everyone must calm down and try to reconcile the differences between all sides!!! How can it be that for the better part of a century the relations among all were fabulous ? People need to step back and re- examine what is at stake and not make hasty, rash, imprudent decisions.
🙏 Pray for Peace !!!🙏🙏
Azerbaijan will support the Kanak people in their quest for liberation. The global community must address French fascism and extreme nationalism.
Do you also support the Armenian and Caucasian liberation in Azerbaijan controlled land? Too bad the world does not address Azeri fascism and extreme nationalism.
Hands off from New Caledonia. Independence 2024
Free Caledonia 2024!!
3 referendums. Now a few groups choose violence. Nothing like independence.. just criminality.
The french empire with their imperialism still exist
They dont want you france what evwnr happened to liberty
Maybe Russia should send some "advisors" like you do in Ukraine, just so you can see how it is...
The French has no longer the money nor the power to maintain under control its formal colonies in 2024 😂😂
The French have to self deport now...
If all the 3rd Worlders self deport from continental France it will be a fair trade.
Need police help in France
Asean Deference Command will sent Many Arm to Support Local Citizens...
KualaLumpur.
Does not make France look good. ?
Brutal colonialist
LOL
A brutal colonialist would not have organized 3 referendums to give them the choice of independence. They voted 3 Times to stay part of France
@@gregoiregandon5728fake referendum with French ppl part of votes ? Prisoners sent from France for land grab...ur sicko like rest of imperial blood thirsty land grabbing hounds parasites
I wonder which nation is conducting these comment brigading episodes on each video surrounding this topic. Could it be something related to the mainland chinese?
You may be on to something. We know who would step right in if New Caledonia becomes "independent," after all.
The Frenchies will run home (and hopefully stay to make France Great again) while the natives will suffer at the Imperialists hands.
Where are the college campus kafiya wearers chanting about colonialism?
Like Puerto Rico....its the same ...they can not vote for the US elections...
@@fabb5 It's because Puerto Rico residents yet doesn't want to be a state of US. If they would chose to be state they will be able to vote. So any US Citizen that decide to reside in Puerto Rico also automatically loses they voting rights.
@@Divedown_25lol, democracy moment. You can't vote for your country because you're living in the wrong place😂
I need Police help
Ungrateful citizens? Maybe the French are not wanted?
They had 3 referendums and choose to stay french. They are just a few groups of criminals.
New Caledonia deserves independence and sovereignty. Love from Ireland
Study the existence of Hawaiian in Hawaii. Or, native American in United States. They sure be happy in the earlier days. Only in early days. Where are they now? Get lost french
They were happy constantly warring against and eating each other?
The French should get out and give up colonelism .
Need police help in France
