New Caledonia thrown into further unrest ahead of snap election

More than a month after deadly unrest broke out in New Caledonia, the overseas French territory is now preparing to go to an election, after President Emmanuel Macron dissolved the National Assembly in Paris. While the streets of the New Caledonian capital, Noumea, are calmer than when the unrest started on the 13th of May, a string of arrests of protest leaders has sparked fears the violence may return.
