Macron Arrives in New Caledonia to Address Violent Unrest

French President aims to restore peace and engage in high-stakes talks amid deadly riots over electoral reforms.

Six people have died and hundreds injured in the worst violence in New Caledonia since the 1980s.
The unrest was triggered by proposed electoral reforms that would allow more French residents to vote.
Macron has deployed 3,000 police and security forces to quell the violence and maintain order.
Pro-independence Kanaks fear the reforms will dilute their political influence.
Tourists stranded by the violence are being evacuated by Australia and New Zealand.
