CrimethInc. Ex-Workers

Since 1853, France has been occupying the islands of New Caledonia against the wishes of the Indigenous Kanak people. In the 1870s, the French government exiled the anarchist Louise Michel and many other participants in the Paris Commune uprising there.

In 1878, the Kanaks revolted against French oppression. Ataï, one of the leaders of the revolt, achieved several victories against the occupiers. After he was finally betrayed, the French colonizers cut off his head and brought it back to Paris. They refused to return it until 2014.

Today, colonialism continues in New Caledonia. The French government has just sent 1200 more police officers there from Paris to suppress the latest uprising.

Like Louise Michel, we support Indigenous struggles against colonialism. Get France out of New Caledonia.

@CrimethInc see. This is neocolonial struggle. Not whatever is going on in Israel.
Oh wait. It is neocolonial. But from Iran's side😇

The countries supplying France’s nuclear industry themselves rely on power from their neighbours.
