Can Macron Bring Peace Back to Riot-hit New Caledonia? | Vantage with Palki Sharma

French President Emmanuel Macron said that more talks were needed on proposed voting reforms that triggered over a week of deadly riots in New Caledonia, as he made a high-stakes visit to the French Pacific territory in a bid to ease tensions. Since May 13, looting, arson and clashes have left six people dead and hundreds injured. The unrest erupted over a French voting reform plan that indigenous Kanaks say will dilute their voice. New Caledonia has been ruled from Paris since the 1800s, but many indigenous Kanaks still resent France's power over their islands. Can Macron restore peace to the French territory? Palki Sharma tells you.
