Why an approved constitutional amendment in New Caledonia led to deadly violence in the French overseas territory
ABCDeadly violence has erupted in New Caledonia, after the French Government approved a constitutional amendment to allow residents who have lived in the territory for at least 10 years to vote in provincial elections. After France's colonisation in the 19th century, New Caledonia officially became a French overseas territory in 1946. Paris has come to view the arrangement as undemocratic and lawmakers approved a constitutional amendment to open up the electorate to include people who have lived in New Caledonia for at least 10 years. Editor's note : This story has been updated to clarify the constitutional amendment relates to residents who have lived in New Caledonia for at least 10 years.
