French colonialists are to blame for unrest in Kanak New Caledonia

“It’s a total betrayal. Young people have grown up with a sense of identity and we understand out worth and that’s largely because of the work that was done in the 60s and 70s and 80s to reclaim our identity so we’re not unaware of our worth or our identity or how hard done we are being so we were hopeful this was going to be it but France has totally pulled the rug out,” Jesse Ounei

https://waateanews.com/2024/05/23/french-betrayal-triggers-kanak-youth-rebellion/?

A New Zealand Kanak woman, Jesse Ounei, says young people in New Caledonia feel a sense of anger and betrayal at the way France is attempting to s***f out any prospect of independence for its Pacific territory.
