France has escalated its response in New Caledonia as violent riots continue to rock the region. Sending elite units to reclaim crucial routes, particularly the road from the airport to Nouméa, Paris aims to quell the escalating unrest with a show of force. The death toll rising to six has prompted France to take decisive action to restore order in its Pacific territory.

Amidst the chaos, accusations have emerged linking Azerbaijan to the turmoil in New Caledonia. France has pointed towards Azerbaijani interference, alleging support for independence movements and the dissemination of disinformation. This unexpected connection has added a layer of complexity to the already volatile situation, raising eyebrows globally.

The impact of the unrest has led to a disruption in air travel, with major airlines halting flights to New Caledonia due to the ongoing instability. The French presence in the South Pacific territory has intensified, focusing efforts on regaining control and ensuring the safety of the populace amidst the turbulent environment.

As tensions mount, French President Emmanuel Macron has declared a state of emergency in New Caledonia in response to the violent protests. Macron's decisive declaration highlights the severity of the situation and underscores the urgent need for stability in the region. A significant operation is underway to reopen key routes and restore order in New Caledonia, marking a critical juncture in France's efforts to manage the crisis.
