Un caillou dans la chaussure

Two years after the May 13th, 2024, uprising in Kanaky-New Caledonia, the political situation in the archipelago still hasn't budged. From failed negotiations to vain attempts to force through change, the French government keeps trying to destroy a 40-year-old peace process by trying to exclude the Kanak liberation front (Front de libération nationale kanak et socialiste) and its president, Christian Tein. After being detained for a year in continental France, the independantist leader and his comrades have resumed their work. They tell of their fight for the independence of their country, the ravages of colonisation and the mistreatment they have endured from the French government since the May 13th uprising.
