Pro-Kanak independence leader Louis Kotra Uregei will be remembered as someone who all his life fought for the well-being of the Kanak people, writes John Garcia.
Kanaky
The Institute for Postcolonial Studies hosted a forum on August 1 to discuss the November 4 independence referendum in Kanaky-New Caledonia (KNC).
Kanaky is the indigenous name for the Pacific island country known to its French colonisers as Nouvelle Calèdonie (New Caledonia). The independence movement is proposing that the combined name Kanaky-New Caledonia be used.
