  4. You have to laugh at left wing commentators when they support anti immigration, ultra nationalist locals.

  8. U want free New Caledonia from France … need sponsor them for study and research about government system and services… sponsor them for business development

  16. This insurrection is backed by China, do some research. As soon as France would leave the CCP will seize control through their minions on the island.

  27. France is among the most hated nations worldwide. France loves controlling other nations and creating enemies there, such in Turkey, Azerbaijan, Ukraine, and Serbia, and others.

  29. The intellectual levels of the contributors reaches such a level. It is really impressive.
    I like the bring in the Russians…😅😅😅
    It is actually likely to be the Chinese
    You are all a bunch of really unqualified romons

  31. New Caledonia allowed migrants into their country and now the local indigenous people are minorities in their own country.
    France is the colonial masters.
    Tough issues.

  36. Azerbaijan will support the Kanak people in their quest for liberation. The global community must address French fascism and extreme nationalism.
