Rebellion against colonialism in New Caledonia 1878-2024

Since 1853, France has occupied the island of New Caledonia against the will of the indigenous population - the Kanaks. In the 1870s, the French government exiled there the anarchist Louise Michel and many other participants of the Paris Commune - Communards. In 1878, the Kanaks rebelled against French oppression. Ataï, one of the leaders of the rebellion, won several victories over the occupiers. When he was finally betrayed, the French colonizers cut off his head and brought it to Paris as a symbol of their triumph. They refused to return it until 2014. For the Kanaks, Ataï is a national hero. French colonialism continues in New Caledonia to this day. The French government has just sent 1,200 more police officers there from Paris to put down the current uprising. Like Louise Michel, we support the indigenous people's fight against colonialism. Expel France from New Caledonia. ✊
