Mass protests erupted in New Caledonia due to the French parliament's decision allowing long-term French residents to vote in provincial elections, causing fear among Indigenous Kanak people of independence setbacks.
Angered Indigenous Kanak people in New Caledonia led protests against amendments to the French constitution that threaten the 1998 accord protecting their voting rights, resulting in violence and fatalities.
France deployed troops and imposed a state of emergency in New Caledonia after riots, looting, and armed clashes in Noumea. Accusations were made against a pro-independence group, leading to activist arrests.
