French President Emmanuel Macron decided to lift the state of emergency in the French Pacific territory of New Caledonia on Monday, aiming to allow political dialogue following violent unrest that left seven people dead. The state of emergency will end on Monday at 8 p.m. in Paris (Tuesday 5 a.m. in New Caledonia). Macron's decision seeks to facilitate meetings of various components of the pro-independence movement FLNKS and enable elected officials and other local leaders to lift barricades and engage with protesters.
