Major French operation to restore order in New Caledonia
Interior Minister Darmanin: A major operation involving more than 600 gendarmes, including about a hundred from the GIGN, is currently underway in New Caledonia to fully regain control of the 60 km main road between Nouméa and the airport. Courage and determination to our gendarmes to restore republican order.

The French government is moving to regain full control of the Pacific territory of New Caledonia, High Commissioner Louis Le Franc said, as extra security forces arrive in the archipelago to end a week of violent protests by pro-independence groups.
Le Franc said new security deployments, after French President Emmanuel Macron’s government declared a state of emergency, would help reassert control following violence that left behind burned cars, torched stores and improvised barricades along roads.

A new photo posted by the Anti-French protesters after raiding a house belonging to a "Militia" in Nouvelle-Calédonie.
As a result the protesters apparently captured a possible Finnish Sako TRG-42 bolt-action sniper rifle with NightForce scope.

#France declared a state of emergency on the Pacific island of #NewCaledonia after clashes broke out between authorities and pro-independence protesters. At least four people have already been killed. Three of whom were Indigenous people, and the fourth was a French gendarme.
Protesters have been seen carrying heavy firearms, with reports of live rounds being fired at police.
Multiple buildings have been set on fire, and several supermarkets have been looted. White French residents have also formed armed groups to confront the Indigenous protesters.
Under the state of emergency, French authorities have imposed a curfew, banned #TikTok, closed schools, and placed restrictions on movement.
They have also deployed an additional 500 police officers, adding to the 1,800 police and gendarmes already on the island.
Protests erupted after French President Emmanuel #Macron introduced plans to reform New Caledonia’s electoral system, which would grant more French residents in the territory voting rights. Protesters believe this would unfavorably shift political representation in the country. The Pacific archipelago, home to the Indigenous #Kanak people, is rich in minerals and has been under French control since 1853.
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.

Bob Marley & the Wailers – Real Situation
Wanted to post this for some time. @brainwavelost@nerdpol.ch's quest for #reality got me doing it at last. Now that I'm posting this I'm realising that I still have #hope that someone can stop this war in #Ukraine before it becomes a #worldwar.
Also @ghyslain who liked the former version of this post before I deleted it.

The “conflict”, i.e. the armed invasion, started in southern #Ukraine when the Russian #army occupied #Crimea in February 2014. The Russian-inspired separatist #uprising in the east started later, in about a month.
It was clear to us from the beginning that Russia could not do any good in Ukraine. By 2014, a reactionary authoritarian regime had already been established in #Russia that denied all individual and social rights and brutally persecuted and destroyed all independent activity. Of course, we still have many questions about the Ukrainian state and the ruling class in Ukraine. But at least the anarchist movement, the socialist movement in Ukraine was able to operate relatively freely for some years. It suffices to say that throughout the existence of the independent Ukrainian state, there has not been a single political anarchist prisoner here. At the same time, many dozens of our comrades in Russia ended up in Russian prisons – guilty solely for their anarchist convictions. So, we were well aware of what #Putin did for libertarian ideas.
The #RKAS reaction was therefore irreversible: it was necessary to resist the Russian attack by all means.

Instagram and WhatsApp are blocked in Iran.
The government is planning to cut the internet access before it's major assault on demonstrators across the country.

The death of the young woman after she was caught by the Sharia police has sparked a massive backlash across the country, specially in the Kurdish regions of the country.
Women shave their head and share the video of it on Telegram or TikTok and many men have done the same thing in solidarity with women who shave their heads.
There are many videos of women burning their head scarf and walking among demonstrators without a head cover.
The disastrous economical situation in the country as well as horrible handling of the COVID in the country has pushed people to a point that one spark was enough to push them over the edge.

‘Consequences will be dire’: #Chile’s #water #crisis is reaching breaking point
“Water has become a national #security issue – it’s that serious,” said Pablo García-Chevesich, a Chilean #hydrologist working at the University of Arizona. “It’s the biggest problem facing the country economically, socially and environmentally. If we don’t solve this, then water will be the cause of the next #uprising.”
