Four people have died in New Caledonia amid protests over voting changes.
The French government announced on Wednesday it will impose a state of emergency in the French Pacific territory of New Caledonia for at least 12 days, boosting police powers in an attempt to quell deadly unrest that has left four people dead.
It follows days of unrest in the Pacific territory and what Ms Thevenot described as “scenes of chaos”, with four deaths reported, including a member of the security services. After successive nights of unrest, French authorities reported the first deaths on Wednesday, with a gendarme among the four people killed.
