Paris judicial court examined on Thursday, January 15, a defamation complaint filed by Christian Tein, Kanak independentist leader, against Sonia Backès, a loyalist figure, who accused him of being 'the leader of the terrorists' after the 2024 riots. Tein appeared via videoconference from Nouméa, while Backès did not attend the hearing. This case comes ahead of an Élysée meeting on New Caledonia's future.

President Emmanuel Macron announced on Monday, January 19, 2026, an "Elysée-Oudinot" agreement reached between the state and several Caledonian political groups, without the involvement of the FLNKS. This document complements the Bougival agreement of July 12, 2025, without altering its institutional aspects, but by dedicating state financial support to the territory. The negotiations, launched on January 16, intensified over the weekend to conclude before Macron's departure for Davos.
Compreender as bases do KANU e do KADU é fundamental para entender como o Quênia se tornou um Estado de partido único. Esses partidos representavam diferentes comunidades, com o KADU eventualmente aceitando as demandas do KANU após a independência. Isso fortaleceu a dominância do KANU na política queniana.
