One year ago, on 13 May, 2024, violent riots broke out in New Caledonia. Sparked by a controversial electoral reform, the unrest lasted several months, resulting in 14 deaths and causing at least two billion euros in damages.
In the capital, Nouméa, some neighbourhoods are still struggling to recover. But a year after the riots, new initiatives are emerging to bring life back to these areas and rebuild social ties.
