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.
