New Caledonia unrest: French forces launch 'major operation'

French forces have launched what they're calling a 'major operation' to clear roads linking New Caledonia's capital to its main airport. At least six people have been killed and hundreds injured in the French Pacific territory in the past week. The mayor of the capital Noumea says the city is besieged. Thousands of indigenous Kanak people have been protesting against changes to local election rules. Critics say the reforms favour French nationals. Jimmy Naouna is a Member of the Kanak and Socialist National Liberation Front Political Bureau. He says the chaos that has unfolded over the past week is regrettable but they will continue to demand their independence from France.
