New Caledonia’s police force has received state-of-the-art armoured trucks equipped with machine guns from France, aiming to quell further violent protests and restore order.

Despite the lifting of the state of emergency last Tuesday, a heavy-handed security presence of over 3000 personnel will remain in the territory until after the Paris Olympics.

Minister of the Interior and Overseas Territories, Gérald Darmanin, announced the deployment of the Centaur vehicles capable of firing tear gas and, if necessary, remotely operated machine guns. The deployment has been framed by Paris as a measure to end roadblocks and re-establish public order but there are concerns the deployment is a sign of escalating militarisation that will perpetuate a cycle of resistance and repression.

Journalist Coralie Cochin told state media she was witnessing daily confrontations between police and protesters. In the northern suburb of Dubea roadblocks and fires disrupt daily life. Cochin highlights the disparity in power, noting the fear among the Kanak people facing heavily armed police with nothing but stones to defend themselves.

  1. Little sh***t macron ordered 89 of those vehicules at the beginning of his mandate as president.
    The question is why ? well we know now the state of the world and the answer of politicians working in fact for corporate finance and the demise of population .
    In the episode ” gilets jaunes”, macron already had asked the military forces who guaranteed his security to shoot ( to kill) at the crowd, which was refused.
    The police is very much different. And those vehicules are meant for the police.
    I hate the sight of him from the first time i set yes on him

  2. This is how the Frogs negotiate with the locals. Its how they would like to treat the Russian too but, well, they would get turned into pate, so a small island nation will have to do.

    • Let’s not forget their penal colony in French Guyana that ran for nearly 100 years, and was only shut-down when the International Red Cross, the Geneva Convention, and the League of Nations declared the treatment of the prisoners and camp conditions to be WORSE than any GULAG or Nazi Koncentration Kamp…!
      Don’t forget also the French 1786 uprising that beheaded thousands of those who were only ‘suspects’ and never tried in a court of law for serving the French Aristocracy, or being a member of the same.
      Roll back the clock even further to the Medieval days and the early Renaissance when France allowed for the Inquisition, stake burnings of thousands of those accused of engaging in ‘witchcraft’ Catholic Wars against it’s neighbours, and the corruption of both the French Monarchy and the Papacy working hand-in-hand to oppress Catholic France.
      Nothing has changed…and that is why French Catholicism is warring against Russian Orthodoxy to this very day, and the Pope (anti-Christ) will never meet with anyone from the Russian Orthodox Church to discuss the current and looming on-the-brink nuclear war crisis !
      In addition to this, the Zionists and Israel have also infiltrated the French Government, as they have via the Mossad in other European Nations, so we’ll see more Middle Eastern migrants staging uprisings inside of France itself, as they have done over the last 10 years!
      The Zionist-based Globalists want Europe (especially WHITE Europeans) to collapse, as the J3w$ think that after that happens in full, that their Messiah will then come…
      That is mentally ill, just as Nutanyahu and his ‘War Cabinet’ are as they continue to mass murder the Palestinians by design.
      The U.S. and other U.N. / NATO Nations will do nothing, as their governments are run by Talmudic Zionist J3w$!

  3. Globalists love island nations. They are so easily controlled because the population has nowhere to run.
    Remember that.

  4. Thats not a water cannon on top of that blue truck. Hummm painted blue for a reason? Blue lasers don’t touch blue surfaces.
