New Caledonian representative calls for joint independence declaration for all French colonies
French Colonies Urged to Declare Independence Together
At the recent international conference “Colonialism: Erasing Religious-National Identity” in Baku, Eugene Tetuanui, secretary of the NCMCP association in New Caledonia, made a bold call for all French colonies to declare their independence on the same day. The conference shed light on the challenges faced by overseas territories and the need to take action.
Tetuanui stressed the importance of unity among French colonies in their fight for independence. He emphasized the need for collective action to achieve their goals and address the injustices they face. “Currently, our children are dying, our parents are suffering, and the colonialists continue to mistreat us,” he stated.
The representative of New Caledonia proposed that all overseas territories of France should come together and declare their independence simultaneously. He believes that this coordinated effort is necessary to make a significant impact and bring about real change.
As discussions around colonialism and independence continue to gain momentum, Tetuanui’s call for unity and collective action serves as a powerful reminder of the strength in solidarity. It remains to be seen how French colonies will respond to this impassioned plea for independence.
