"End French settler colonialism in Melanesia. Free Kanaky, Land Back. Support decolonial struggles everywhere"

Poster in Sydney in solidarity with the anti-colonial movement in Kanaky/New Caledonia, which has been rocked by a major revolt in recent weeks. The French state responded to the uprising by imposing a state of emergency and sending in additional security forces from France to subdue the population.

"Free Kanaky / Land Back"

This whole march had iconic shots but here are a few from the thread:

[sissa-arrows]

A settler organized in a militia killed a Kanak protesting for liberation from French colonialism in Kanaky.

They are trying to minimize it by saying (without proper investigation) that the settler was defending himself and calling him a “civilian” as well as by calling the Kanak man a “rioter”. The high commissioner also announced that if “calm” doesn’t come back he will organize a military intervention to bring back “peace” and “calm”. For the record there’s already a lot of military checkpoints (edit: I used the expression military checkpoint but it’s not the right one I’m talking about the control by the gendarmerie who are like cops except they are in the military) that Kanak people have to go through daily in certain area and a heavy military presence so when he is talking about military intervention he is talking about killing people.

Article (in French)

This is all happening because France wants to accelerate the colonization of Kanaky by allowing every single white French adult the right to vote locally. The Kanak resistance managed to negotiate so only settlers who had been in Kanaky for a decade or more in 1998 could vote locally. New settlers cannot do it. And France and its settlers want to go back on that accord saying that the 2021 referendum shows that people don’t want liberation so it’s racist (against settlers) to not let them vote (and take over Kanaky completely)

If any piece of shit brings up the 2021 referendum as a justification of French colonialism in Kanaky, know that it has zero value. The Kanak people and the resistance called for a report of the vote because of COVID. Mentioning that not only there was a health risk but that Kanak people have a long grieving period which meant that they wouldn’t be able to vote. That vote ended up being only a settler vote. If you compare it to the two previous votes with higher participation rate it’s almost certain that the Yes to independence would have won.

For those who don’t know it international law recognize Kanaky as a colony. The UN has Kanaky on the list of territories where indigenous people have no right to self determination and they recognize France as the occupying power (thanks to Palestine we’ve seen that international law doesn’t apply to Western backed colonialism but that’s an other topic)

France is further trying to Colonize Kanak

France has long held the territory of New Caledonia, or Kanak as its native people call it, as a colonial possession. France is now trying to pass a bill to allow French nationals to vote in New Caledonia elections in order to further marginalize the indigenous Kanak people. We need to support our colonized Kanak comrades in their struggle against French colonalism. Makes some noise spread awareness, educate others!

If anyone knows of active solidarity networks, boycott campaigns or other ways of supporting the Kanak people, pleases share them.

well…

an arab woman was allegedly arrested after sharing on her public social media a post of solidarity with rafah and the victims in rafah

the (university) student union sent a letter asking to pass a law that allows the university/union to fire or suspend students, lecturers, and staff members of universities in israel if they support palestine.

the increase in hostility toward left wing ideologies in israel is scary!

i am currently working towards bettering my online security, might need to abandon this blog for a new one that doesn’t have any ties to my ip or any email address that can be linked to me, and i will start saving emergency funds in monero XMR.

i REALLY hope that i wouldn’t have to use that money, but at this rate, who knows.

currently i do not plan on running away to europe, but i am saving enough for a one way ticket, i also don’t accept any donations, and really wish i wouldn’t have to.

i am not in any danger right now, but from now on i will take my opsec more seriously, and make sure im ready if shit hits the fan, i’ll keep y’all updated. stay safe. stay hydrated.

free 🍉.

save the armenian quarter.

free kanaky.

save kongo.

i will release my pgp signature soon(tm)

The Long Struggle of the Kanak People

Please read this to learn more about the oppression and colonisation that the Kanak people have suffered from the French government it is important that we learn and listen to lived experiences, indigenous voices are so rarely given this platform.

Nobody is truly free until we're all free and that includes all indigenous peoples in every corner of the world! If you stand with Palestine, you stand with the Kanak peoples as well!

so i guess i'm one of today's lucky 10 000, cuz i thought france didn't have any formal colonies anymore.

don't get me wrong, i thought we were still doing both colonialism and neo-colonialism with all the france-afrique stuff and our "overseas territories", but even when keeping in touch with poc and decolonial activists i'd never heard of the actual occupied territory we got.

anyway free kanaky fuck the french government and if you're a colonist and you die there i will not mourn you.

Just in case no one else knows there’s currently a strike ongoing today (June 16th) to June 22nd! The strike officially ends on June 23rd!

New-Caledonia is not a topic in the hexagon, I dare say that most of the hexagon youth doesn't know the Kanak exists.

New-caledonia is an afterthought, if it is a thought at all. Their news is on a separate channel that the hexagon's. Macron's only promise during his campaign was a new referendum and a revision of the constitution in 2024.

The French government doesn't care about Kanak people. They never did.

They only care about the maritime space, the touristic money, the nickel, and the prestige.

GLOBAL LIBERATION.

I've been very active about this in all the social media platforms I'm in. It's hard to say anything that hasn't been said before, but as an artist I feel responsible to do something, especially as on Instagram stories vanish after a while.

In the piece there's only some of the flags of many countries (Palestine, Sudan, Congo, West Papua and Kanaky) that have been put under extreme suffering, but this piece is for ALL countries suffering: Hawai'i, Puerto Rico, Haiti, Yemen...

Here's a master document on support and resources for these countries, by Seaweedlagoon on Twitter. It's being actively updated.

Just read an article saying that "European colonialism ended in 1974." I think Lagwiyann and Gwadloup and Madinina and Maore and Renyon and Pōrīnetia and 'Uvea mo Futuna and Kanaky and the Mi'kmaq people would disagree. And that's not even getting into Dutch-occupied territories in the Caribbean or "British overseas cities"

The protests for Palestine and for Kanaky reunited and made a new chant in Toulouse today (Saturday 18). “For the honor of Palestine for the honor of Kanaky even if Macron doesn’t want it we’re here”

This is the type of solidarity colonizers don’t want to see.

(Given that on Twitter the Zionists are supporting France it’s probably only a matter of time before they accuse the Kanak people of being Hamas… or maybe they will be like “This was a Hamas and FLN(KS) protest”)

France is still murdering the Kanak people
