Violent unrest, state of emergency as New Caledonia independentists accuse France of recolonization

France ordered troops to guard ports and the international airport in its Pacific territory of New Caledonia as a state of emergency started Thursday after two nights of riots left four dead and hundreds wounded. Turmoil erupted after France's national assembly backed hotly-disputed changes to voting rolls that indigenous Kanak leaders say will dilute their vote. FRANCE 24's Mark Owen is joined by Mikaa Blugeon-Mered, adjunct lecturer on French Overseas Territories' Geopolitics at Sciences Po.
