One of the Last Remaining French Pacific Territories New Caledonia Resembles a War Zone Right Now
One of the last remaining French pacific territories New Caledonia resembles a war zone right now.
The French Government is using it's army to quash indigenous locals who are rising up against the colonisers.
Authorities also decided to ban social media app TikTok, which the government during a bout of riots on France's mainland last summer claimed helped rioters organise and amplified the chaos, attracting protestors to the streets.
France exploits the mineral-rich island, which lies in the southwest Pacific, some 1,500 km (930 miles) east of Australia.
France annexed the island in 1853 and gave the colony the status of overseas territory in 1946. It has long been rocked by pro-independence movements.
New Caledonia is the world's No. 3 nickel miner but profits go back to France leaving, one in five locals living under the poverty threshold.
