New Caledonia unrest continues as police shoot man dead

The recent violence in New Caledonia, a French-ruled Pacific island, has resulted in seven deaths over the past week. The unrest began as a response to controversial voting reforms and escalated into riots, with separatists throwing up barricades and the international airport being closed. According to reports, a 48-year-old man was shot dead by police on May 24, just a day after French President Emmanuel Macron visited the island in an attempt to calm tensions.
