New Caledonia has been convulsed by unrest for a week, sparked by French plans to impose new rules that would give tens of thousands of non-Indigenous residents voting rights.
The French territory off north-east Australia, with a population of about 270,000, has long been riven by pro-independence tensions, but this is the worst violence in decades.
Do you live in New Caledonia? How is the unrest affecting you and how you go about your daily life? How do you feel about the violence and France’s response to the situation? Do you have friends or family stuck in the French territory?
