Women are being made invisible, yet their actions are consequential.

Noumea Accord anticipated No result from 3 refs & states that "the political organization ... established [in] the Accord shall remain in force "w/o possibility of regression or irreversibility. Section concludes "NC is to achieve complete emancipation by the end of this period"
France’s Ambassador to Vanuatu kindly sent me a copy of this article on #NewCaledonia. It’s a concise summary of French talking points on the Noumea Accord. However, there are some statements that are (to be diplomatic) somewhat economical with the truth. A thread with examples…

Important background on CCAT arrests and departations in Kanaky- NC which include 2 women and 1 leader trained in non-violence. Convenient scape goating as France heads to polls? Meanwhile the country erupts in flames again.

Another helpful analysis from @MaclellanNic - interesting to see some local loyalists now backing away from the contentious constitutional law changes that triggered #NewCaledonia crisis.
[NB my report on widespread criticism of the French government decision to press ahead with electoral reform without giving enough time for supporters and opponents of independence to forge agreement in New Caledonia on a replacement for the #NoumeaAccord]

Writings by an earlier generation of Kanak leaders provide vital understanding about today's struggle in #NewCaledonia for recognition of #Kanak identity, culture and sovereignty. The best material is in French, but there are lots of places to start for English speakers…. THREAD

the editing makes some of the stuff I communicated on instituitonal power arrangements with Frace more general than I intended - but "peu importe". The person you should be listening to in this one is Dorianne - she's sharp and brilliant

As the security presence in #NewCaledonia intesifies, pls listen to this interview I helped to organise for @NPR featuring Kanak woman leader Dorianne Nonmoira. 🙏Deepa Fernandes & to Cathy Weiss for her sharp translation. Time we heard from Kanak women https://t.co/2HXRaMsjB0

Macron's pick: 3 white male mediators chosen to re-open dialogue in #NewCaledonia. Reflected in every panel discussion on the crisis that appeared on French TV channels that I saw. Dominated by white men. Women: 1, Kanak representatives: 0. What century are we in?
