New Caledonia is voting on independence

New Caledonia will vote in a referendum on independence from France on Sunday.

Studies show, however, that a majority is against independence. According to this data, more than 60 percent of New Caledonians are in favor of keeping the archipelago with France. Some 'Caldoches', as the immigrants from Europe are called, fear unrest when they say no on Sunday. France has increased the number of security forces on the archipelago.
