New Caledonia: Macron calls new security meeting as deadly unrest grinds on
French forces on Sunday launched a major operation to regain access to parts of Noumea and allow the airport to reopen
French president Emmanuel Macron called a meeting of his defence and security council for Monday to discuss the deadly unrest in the Pacific territory of New Caledonia.
It is the third such meeting in less than week, the previous two having resulted first in the decision to declare a state of emergency in the French territory and then to send reinforcements to help government forces on the ground restore order.
