The Baku Initiative Group, together with 14 political movements advocating for independence in various French colonies, including Kanaky (New Caledonia), Maohi Nui (French Polynesia), French Guiana, Martinique, Guadeloupe, and Corsica, have issued a joint statement.
The statement condemns the French government’s violent implementation of illegal changes aimed at expanding the electorate in Kanaky-New Caledonia and expresses full support for the Kanak people in their just struggle for independence.
