Authorities have opened an investigation into deadly unrest that has left seven people dead and significant destruction this month in France's New Caledonia.
The French prosecutor in New Caledonia said authorities have opened an investigation into unrest that has left seven people dead and significant destruction in the Pacific archipelago with decades of tensions between those seeking independence and those loyal to France. The violence flared on May 13 in response to attempts to amend the French Constitution and change voting lists in New Caledonia.
The prosecutor said he was unaware if any of those killed in the unrest are related to the former French soccer player Christian Karembeu, who said on Monday that he was 'in mourning' because two members of his family were fatally shot during recent violence. Karembeu, who is Kanak and had moved to mainland France as a teenager, was asked in an interview with France’s Europe 1 broadcaster if his relatives were targeted in recent violence.
