New Caledonia: Curfew Imposed After Violent Protests Against Constitutional Reform
Security forces have been mobilised and a curfew has been imposed in the French territory of New Caledonia after violence erupted during protests. Shops and buildings were set on fire and looting was reported in the capital Noumea. New Caledonia has closed its international airport. The violent protests erupted as the French National Assembly is set to debate changes to the New Caledonian constitution. The proposed changes would allow more French residents to vote in New Caledonia elections. Many supporters of New Caledonia's independence fear it will dilute the vote of the indigenous Kanak community.
