What does New Caledonia mean to France?

The current unrest in New Caledonia goes back to the 1850s when France took possession of the archipelago. But what interests does France have there? Who are the Kanaks? And what does Azerbaijan have to do with it all?

Separated by a good 16,500 kilometers (10,252 miles), Paris and the French overseas territory of New Caledonia could not be much further apart. On Wednesday,  French President Emmanuel Macron had planned to visit a new nuclear power plant in Normandy, which is much closer, but instead remained in the French capital to head crisis management meetings on the South Pacific territory.

After  days of violence that left several people dead, hundreds injured and more than 200 arrested, France has imposed a   state of emergency in New Caledonia, deploying additional security forces and blocking TikTok in an attempt to restore public order on the archipelago.

When did New Caledonia become French?

New Caledonia is located in the Southwest Pacific, some 1,300 kilometers off the coast of Australia . The territory comprises the main island of New Caledonia and several smaller islands. The British explorer James Cook was the first European to set foot there in 1774, more than 2,000 years after the archipelago was first populated. The mountainous scenery of the northeastern part of the main island reminded Cook of his father's native Scotland — Caledonia in Latin — which is how the main island earned the name it still boasts today. When he arrived, there were reportedly some 60,000 Kanaks, the indigenous Melanesian inhabitants of the island, living there.   Ultimately, many of them would be forced onto reservations.

In the following decades, sailors and Christian missionaries from Britain and France arrived and settled on New Caledonia. In 1853, under Napoleon III, France took formal possession of the island, which it primarily used as a penal colony at first. After nickel was discovered, mining began in earnest, with the industry soon expanding to include copper extraction as well.

In 1887, France's "Code de l'indigénat" [Indigenous Code] was applied to New Caledonia. This set of laws subjected indigenous populations in the French colonies to strict rules and denied them certain civil rights. Many Kanaks were enslaved and forced to work in New Caledonia, or other parts of the world.

From the beginning, the Kanak people made several failed attempts to rid themselves of the colonial power. When the archipelago became a French overseas territory after the Second World War — like some of France's other colonies in the Pacific and Caribbean — the Kanaks of New Caledonia received French citizenship and were gradually granted the right to vote.

Today, Kanaks make up roughly 40% of New Caledonia's population of approximately 270,000. 

Moreover, the territory's currency is pegged to the Euro, and its citizens are eligible to vote in both French and EU elections. 

Ongoing demands for independence

There have been continued demands for independence in New Caledonia since the 1970s and these have been supported by much of the Kanak community. The United Nations has also backed these demands, and in 1986 the General Assembly re-inscribed New Caledonia on its list of "non self-governing territories." In 1988, France agreed to grant New Caledonia more autonomy.

But a majority of the population — particularly those descended from French colonialists — wants New Caledonia to remain part of France.

One reason is economic: according to the government of neighboring Australia, the €1.5 billion (ca. $1.6 billion) New Caledonia received from Paris in direct budgeting payments in 2020 accounted for some 20% of the territory's overall economic output that year.

In independence referendums held in 2018 and 2020, only 43.6% and 46.7% of participants voted in favor. A 2021 referendum was boycotted by independence parties leading to a skewed result of nearly 97% against.

Angered by new voting rights law

The anger now being voiced by many independence advocates in New Caledonia has been directed at a new voting rights law recently passed by the French parliament. The law would enlarge the electorate for New Caledonia's provincial elections.

Currently, only those who have lived in New Caledonia since at least 1998 are allowed to vote. The new law would afford the right to vote to those who have had their main residence in New Caledonia for at least 10 years without interruption.

French President Emmanuel Macron has not yet signed the law. The protests were an attempt to dissuade him from doing so. The pro-independence movement fears that the addition of so many new voters to the rolls will dilute its own political heft.

Geopolitical and economic interests

France, which is a nuclear power with a veto in the UN Security Council , continues to see itself as a global power. Its military has air and naval bases in New Caledonia, which are of geopolitical importance.

Furthermore, the archipelago's natural resources are of major economic importance. In 2021, 190,000 tons of nickel were mined there, according to US estimates. Only Indonesia, the Philippines and Russia produced more. 

New Caledonia's pro-independence movement has also gotten support from an unexpected ally, the former Soviet republic Azerbaijan, which France has accused of meddling. 

In a recent article, the US media outlet Politico said that Philippe Gomes, the former president of the New Caledonian government, had accused Azerbaijan of "actively funding the pro-independence Kanak and Socialist National Liberation Front." French Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin has made similar allegations.

Azerbaijan has dismissed claims it is behind the recent unrest in New Caledonia.

What does appellation contrôlée on French wine labels mean?

How to drink better: the ac system gives a good indication of the style of wine you can expect.

Understanding French wine labels: What does the AC system mean?

Appellation contrôlée, or sometimes appellation d’origine contrôlée is a term that appears on many bottles of French wine. An appellation can be translated as a name or title, and contrôlée means controlled. In wine and food terms it means the product comes from a specific legally defined geographical area and is made by traditional local methods.

So, for example, when you buy a bottle of white Sancerre, you can be sure that it is made entirely from sauvignon blanc grapes grown in and around the village of Sancerre in the Loire valley. It will have been tasted by a local panel to ensure that it meets their standards. White Sancerre is generally aromatic and dry. There are over three hundred and fifty wine and spirit appellations in France. It is not just the French who use this system. It is part of an EU legal framework covering quality wine from virtually every wine region of Europe. Spain has Denominación de Origen, and Italy Denominazione di Origine Controllata.

The AOC system was first used back in 1935, when well-known regions wanted to protect their reputation from cheap imitations. For instance, at one stage you could buy a Chablis or white Burgundy from California, both places in France. Producers would argue that the AC is a guarantee of quality. This is not true. In some regions mediocre producers can benefit from the reputation of their far better neighbours. There are for instance some really good wines from Sancerre, but there are also some average wines too. The AC system does give a good indication of the style of wine you can expect. A wine labelled Chablis will be crisp and dry.

Some other French wines use the term I.G.P. (Indication Géographique Protégée) instead. This generally covers a broader region and will have fewer regulations. They are usually less expensive, but some can be good.

There’s more to Spanish wine than Rioja - here are four from very different regions

Who can help me write my essay?

At the end of the school year, students have no energy left to complete difficult homework assignments. In addition, inspiration is also lacking, so there are only a few options:

• do not write a scientific work;
• write it badly;
• delegate these responsibilities to other people.

Most often, people choose the latter option, which is why companies have appeared on the Internet offering to take full responsibility.

When you visit the site, the managers clarify all the details in order to correctly design the article. They select a person who is well versed in the topic of the report and give him your task.

You will not be able to personally communicate with the writer who will do your work. This is done to ensure that all your personal data is confidential. The client, of course, can make edits, follow the writing of each section and take part in the correction, but it is impossible to communicate with the team.

Do not worry that you will not meet personally with the site team, because throughout the entire cooperation our managers will keep in touch with each client.

2024 french open men’s singles draw.

• OlympicTalk ,
• OlympicTalk

The 2024 French Open men’s singles tournament, which starts Sunday, live on NBC Sports and Peacock , is arguably the most wide open in 20 years.

Rafael Nadal, who won a record 14 French Open titles starting in 2005, may be playing Roland Garros for the final time.

Nadal, 37, is unseeded after being sidelined for most of the last year and a half due to injuries. In the first round, he faces No. 4 seed Alexander Zverev, the Tokyo Olympic champion from Germany.

Nadal has played 15 total matches since the start of 2023 and went 5-3 over three clay-court tournaments this spring building up to the French Open.

FRENCH OPEN: Broadcast Schedule | Women’s Draw

Novak Djokovic, who won the 2023 French Open in Nadal’s absence, is a tenuous top seed. The 37-year-old Serb owns a men’s record 24 Grand Slam singles titles but has yet to make a tournament final this year.

Djokovic and Nadal would meet in the semifinals if they advance that far.

No. 2 seed Jannik Sinner of Italy and No. 3 Carlos Alcaraz of Spain each won a Slam in the last year. But each also missed time this spring due to injury.

The top Americans are No. 12 seed Taylor Fritz, No. 14 Tommy Paul and No. 15 Ben Shelton.

No American man has made a French Open singles quarterfinal since Andre Agassi in 2003.
