France admits it’s lost control of parts of New Caledonia | The French president, Emmanuel Macron calls further security meeting as deadly unrest grinds

 

Macron calls further security meeting as deadly unrest grinds on





A meeting has been called by French President Emmanuel Macron to discuss the deadly unrest in New Caledonia's Pacific territory. It is the third such meeting in less than week, the previous two having resulted in the decision to declare a state of emergency in the French territory and then to send reinforcements to help government forces on the ground restore order. 

On Sunday, French forces smashed through dozens of barricades in a bid to retake the main road to La Tontouta international airport, which has been closed to commercial traffic since last Tuesday.

Authorities have said the airport will not reopen until midnight on Thursday French time, ignoring a request from Australia and New Zealand for it to be opened so they can evacuate their citizens.

“Republican order will be re-established whatever the cost,” the French high commissioner for New Caledonia, Louis Le Franc, told reporters in the capital Nouméa. If separatists “want to use their arms, they will be risking the worst”,

The resumption of the bodies of two gendarmes who perished in New Caledonia, Nicolas Molinari and Xavier Salou, brought forth the warning on Monday morning.

Gérald Darmanin, the interior minister of France, was present at the military base in Vélizy-Villacoublay in the south-west suburbs of Paris to honor the men who died and receive their funeral urns. Both gendarmes were based in the Paris region. 


At least three other people, Indigenous Kanaks, have also been killed in the violence.

The night was described as “agitated” in terms of clashes between police and rioters, and the New Caledonian chamber of commerce said 150 island businesses had been pillaged and torched, leaving 1,000 people without work.

New Caledonia, which has a population of approximately 270,000, has been experiencing unrest for a week. It was sparked by French plans to impose new rules that would give tens of thousands of non-Indigenous residents voting rights.

Pro-independence tensions have plagued the French territory off north-east Australia for a while, but this is the worst violence in decades.
