New Caledonia unrest: What impact on the economy?
Hundreds of military and armed police reinforcements deployed Friday (May 17) to the riot-scarred streets of France's Pacific territory of New Caledonia, seeking to quell clashes that have left five people dead and hundreds injured. The violence is the worst seen in New Caledonia since unrest rocked the island in the 1980s and its already taking a toll on the economy.
