Writings by an earlier generation of Kanak leaders provide vital understanding about today's struggle in #NewCaledonia for recognition of #Kanak identity, culture and sovereignty. The best material is in French, but there are lots of places to start for English speakers…. THREAD

Macron's pick: 3 white male mediators chosen to re-open dialogue in #NewCaledonia. Reflected in every panel discussion on the crisis that appeared on French TV channels that I saw. Dominated by white men. Women: 1, Kanak representatives: 0. What century are we in?

Another helpful analysis from Nic Maclellan - interesting to see some local loyalists now backing away from the contentious constitutional law changes that triggered #NewCaledonia crisis.

Important background on CCAT arrests and departations in Kanaky- NC which include 2 women and 1 leader trained in non-violence. Convenient scape goating as France heads to polls? Meanwhile the country erupts in flames again. presencekanak.com/2024/06/24/vio…

French deportations violate UN's Bangkok Rules on the detention of women prisoners : "Women prisoners shall be allocated ... to prisons close to their home or place of social rehabilitation, taking account of their caretaking responsibilities". see here ohchr.org/en/instruments…

The breaking news on Julian Assange pushed aside the news on troubles in Kanaky/New Caledonia today - but I did manage to get a few minutes of ABC News attention on recent arrests and deportations facebook.com/watch/?v=83259…

Friends, as the PIF delegation to New Caledonia concludes I share insights from my ongoing work with New Caledonia's women and their struggles to be heard, documenting how #WPS provisions are are roundly ignored and asking what we might learn from the past lowyinstitute.org/the-interprete…
