French President Emmanuel Macron headed to New Caledonia to seek a political solution to the deadly violence that has rocked the French archipelago.
French President Emmanuel Macron was on a flight to New Caledonia on Wednesday to seek a political solution to the deadly violence that has rocked the French archipelago in the Pacific where Indigenous Kanaks have long sought independence. The rioting has raised new questions about Macron’s handling of France’s colonial legacy, including on the islands some 16,000 kilometers from metropolitan France.
The president is going “to launch a discussion which should allow for a comprehensive political agreement to emerge,” Prime Minster Gabriel Attal told senators Wednesday without going into detail. Six people have died in the violence, including four civilians and two gendarmes. The New Caledonia High Commission said more than 280 people have been arrested and 84 police officers and gendarmes have been injured.
