Pro-independence riots have broken out in New Caledonia

As a colony the island is a retreat for French citizens
But with 'decolonization' only native Kanak people could vote, barring those arriving from France

Now Paris is empowering French residents to vote after only 10 years

The French Government is using it's army to quash indigenous locals who are rising up against the colonisers.

Authorities also decided to ban video app #TikTok, which the government during a bout of riots on France's mainland last summer said helped rioters organise and amplified the chaos, attracting troublemakers to the streets.
