This, my friends, is the beautiful #BluePacific
No-one’s backyard to manage. No-one’s geo-strategic lake. No #BeltandRoad will contain it.

I'm leaving Melbourne for Fiji next week, so the next person who says "escaping the Melbourne winter, eh?" will get this speech played on rotation several times - at full volume....

Noumea Accord anticipated No result from 3 refs & states that "the political organization ... established [in] the Accord shall remain in force "w/o possibility of regression or irreversibility. Section concludes "NC is to achieve complete emancipation by the end of this period"

France’s Ambassador to Vanuatu kindly sent me a copy of this article on #NewCaledonia. It’s a concise summary of French talking points on the Noumea Accord. However, there are some statements that are (to be diplomatic) somewhat economical with the truth. A thread with examples…

More great background here on renewed tensions in New Caledonia including explanation of problematic charges faced by detainees.

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 @ABCNews attention on recent arrests and deportations

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…

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…

@MaclellanNic Not to mention the lives lost, the trust broken, the social and political divisions that have become hardened, the violence that has become normalised. So much work to do at so many levels.

So legally, we're back to square one. Macron's attempts to pressure the #FLNKS independence movement into stalled talks on a post-Noumea Accord statute have exploded in his face. And ordinary New Caledonians are paying the price, living in the smoldering wreckage around Noumea.

A significant statement from Alain Christnacht, a former French High Commissioner in Noumea, about the way that French President Emmanuel Macron has blown up his own constitutional amendment on voting rights for #NewCaledonia. THREAD

Hundreds of Ni-Vans marched through Port Vila, Vanuatu 🇻🇺 today in solidarity with the Kanaks in New Caledonia 🇳🇨.
The message:
“Vanuatu will not be feee until all Melanesian brothers are free”

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

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

the editing makes some of the stuff I communicated on instituitonal power arrangements with Frace more general than I intended - but "peu importe". The person you should be listening to in this one is Dorianne - she's sharp and brilliant

As the security presence in #NewCaledonia intesifies, pls listen to this interview I helped to organise for @NPR featuring Kanak woman leader Dorianne Nonmoira. 🙏Deepa Fernandes & to Cathy Weiss for her sharp translation. Time we heard from Kanak women

News: Australia's government says it will provide an "initial" contribution of $2.5 million to help the emergency response to the massive landslide in PNG's Enga Province. Canberra will send technical experts to assist, as well as emergency relief supplies

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?
