French President Emmanuel Macron has decided to lift the state of emergency in New Caledonia, effective Monday evening, according to the presidency and AFP. The decision follows two weeks of unrest in the French Pacific territory, which resulted in seven deaths and hundreds of injuries. The state of emergency was initially imposed due to deadly anti-colonial riots. Despite lifting the emergency status, France will maintain a curfew and deploy hundreds of paramilitary reinforcements to ensure stability. The move aims to facilitate political dialogue in the riot-hit region.
