New Caledonia: Fires burn in the streets during riots over voting reforms
Riots erupted on the French-ruled Pacific island of New Caledonia over proposed voting reforms.
Authorities put a curfew in place, shut the international airport and called for police reinforcements after protests turned violent.
Under the new law, French residents who have lived in New Caledonia for 10 years would be allowed to vote in provincial elections.
Local leaders have expressed concerns that the new law would dilute the vote of indigenous Kanak.

Locals THIS IS OUR GOVERNMENT ONLY WE VOTE
Joe Biden let in tens of Millions and give the the vote with a BRIBE
European Union let in tens of Millions and then allow them to RUN TO UK, by declaring that ALL 27 EU Countries are NOT SAFE HAVENS
World we have a problem
They have nothing else better to do? They know how to destroy. Can they build?
Colonialism again, huh?
Macrons fault
they will end like Haiti
still in colonialism era, i c… making a safer world every single day
Macrons foreign affairs strategies are remarkably successful. He will go down as a great French President.
Nothing can justify violence.
Macron go home! Just look at the map. Where is France, and where is New Caledonia? France is looting Caledonia's natural resources. France is an invader. Say NO to colonialism. Freedom to New Caledonia from French Imperialism. Love and full support to brave Caledonian people from Azerbaijan. Stay strong New Caledonia!
