- 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.

Im from New Caledonia. The problem was that we voted for Macaroon, but got Macron instead.
😂😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤❤
Brill 🤣🤣.
Who would've thought that voting for a rothschild stooge was a good idea. But I understand, unfortunately European politics are becoming like the american, either center-right or far-right. In the end it's all the same, both parties vouch for capitalism so nothing will ever change.
That means: They are not riots but FIGHTERS FOR THEIR FREEDOM AND THEIR RIGHTS! Good luck 🙌🏻
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
in Scotland were not going to recognize the gaul policy
Colonizers need to leave the people alone..
Agreed. Let them revert back to their natural state.
The people voted to stay with france 3 times. Its a small violent group that can't accept the will of the people and tries to achieve their goals through violence where they failed through democracy.
How about this chauvinistic minority of a minority (these rioters dont even represent the majority of Kanaks) stop trying to keep the majority of the population permanently disenfranchised? The double-think is nauseating. How about you stop your infantilising view of indigenous people?

Why did Macron change the voting franchise in New Caledondia that tips the independence issue in France's favour? This is so highly contentious. What do you expect?
because we respect the law and the Nouméa agreements did not respect our constitution.
@@signefurax933 Paris must have been worried about the balance of power in New Caledonia over the independence issue. What they did was a quick fix.
If it is not sorted out we will have ongoing frustration and violence and people and money will leave the place... much like will happen in Israel-Palestine.
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
France had already won the independence referendum three times. Macron wanted to restore voting rights to thousands of French citizens who in some cases had lived 10 years on the island without the right to vote.
@@erikthomsen4768You may claim it is a purely legal matter but It was a clumsy move all the same. It was such a contentious and incendiary issue that could have been delt with more sensitivity and more understanding.

The French don't quit. They have serious problems.
yeah how dare the French not keep the majority of the population disenfranchised? How bigoted of them.
Quit what? They've been on the island since 1850, the rosebifs colonized Australia in 1800 and did ever quit or went back to England? 🤡

New Caledonia was discovered in 1774 by the British navigator James Cook, who christened the country “New Caledonia” because the mountainous scenery of the Main Island reminded him of his native Scotland. He noted that the country was populated by Melanesians (ancestors of the Kanaks).

The French have built the roads, the hospitals and schools and made a nice island that would otherwise have been in the doldrums. Surely the Kanaka’ ancestors, forbears, would tell young Kanaks today to give both France and themselves a chance. The opportunities for lifting themselves up today are surely much better than they have ever been.
Kanaks asked nothing. French also took the best lands and killed half of the population. They build roads and school for their settlers and put all kanaks in 8% of the Island. They suffer discrimination, racism and lack of respect. Kanaks lived on their Land minding their business for 3000 years before French arrived. They asked for nothing.

People of New Caledonia has right to defend itself.
It's not being attacked by an outside force.
It's all internal.
A riot among the indigenous.
But the other people are all born there too.

There has been a referendum in the last few years and the majority agreed to stay under French rule for economic and other reasons.
People living in New Caledonia have a right to live peaceful lives regardless of if their not Kanak.
Leave that country alone. France should rather be asking herself what's wrong with me because all its colonies are against their foreign policies from Africa to that island now. It's a pity.

@@suicidalbananananaas long as we understand, it's okay.
Ironic when its the Kanaks who are allowed to vote and the Europeans and Polynesians who aren't. It's apartheid in favor of the indigenous, and these violent rioters are trying to keep it that way.
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.

New Caledonia has had 3 referendoms for independence in the past 40 years. Every time a majority has voted to stay with France - problem isn't "just" France, the problem is that a majority want to stay with France while segments of the indigenous population want to continue a political system that favors smaller groups of the society.

To conflate the province we have today does a disservice to the colonies of the past. It paints a picture that is prettier than it was during the colonial era. That’s not your intention. But misinformation doesn’t need a motive.
It also gives the false impression that this is a colonial dictatorship used for exploitation when the reality it is the exact opposite.

Consider every old colony that had to spill blood in the twentieth century fighting for independence. Floating the argument to them that its the twentieth century and we should let bygones be bygones did not work. You are right, the French people living in New Caledonia are not imperialists. That being said, they did not sprout out of the ground nor fall from the sky. The French people living in New Caledonia are the result of colonialism. I hope that the issue is resolved peacefully. Macron needs to remember that the French colonization was an imposition, on the indigenous population, as is this law. Unfortunately, we in the West have a less than stellar history when it comes to dealing with indigenous peoples.
@@stevekontis8992Colonialism is not democratic representation, a drain on the national treasury or the rights of equality before the law. It is the opposite.
This is why I despise that you consider colonialism alive. Inheriting the legacy of colonialism is not the same thing as perpetuating it.
The only thing alive is the ethnic footprint. While I sympathise with the imposition of the separatists, I cannot waiver the rights of two thirds of the population because of their ancestry.
The Law on voting rights is a different topic altogether. Macron didn’t need their numbers to win the three referendums on independence. He accepts that majority wants to remain part of France and acted within his mandate to ensure that this temporary ban did not persists.
After 10 years it is kinda incredible that some citizens don’t get to vote. In Paris we would have a rebellion on our hands if that was done against one of the minorities.
You might reasonably argue that he should’ve taken into account the opinions of the colonised minority that France will always owe a debt of blood. But what else was he supposed to do?
Continue to deny many of his citizens the right to vote?
That cannot be the answer. You cannot take a fundamental right of the constitution and bargain it away.
If the suffering of colonialism can be measured in human lives and human hearts then the actions France has taken to prevent further suffering must account for something.
It might take another hundred years before France has saved more innocent lives than she has taken. But it beats fighting injustice with injustice.
