The riots have been sparked by anger among indigenous Kanak people over a new bill, adopted by MPs in Paris, that give French people who have lived in New Caledonia for at least 10 years the right to vote.
Fuck colonialism. Fuck France. Viva New Caledonia.
"The kids are definitely hungry because we don't really have much option of what we can feed them,"
Sounds like an exercise in defussification.
I don’t think kids having no access to food in a crisis is ever going to be a positive thing. Kids are often fussy eaters, but there are evolutionary reasons for it. They have a genuine fear they will be without food and water and are rationing. If kids are hungry, they will eat non preferred foods, but if they go hungry often, food anxiety may make a worse relationship,with food than being fussy.
I have a family member in New Caledonia. He said that things have settled down somewhat. He also sent an interesting article describing how Azerbaijan is using unrest in the Pacific to punish France for supporting Armenia in a territorial dispute. The article said that the leaders of the violence in New Caledonia were trained by Azerbaijani security forces.
