La Nouvelle Calédonie et le nickel

In this episode, Gaelle talks about Nouvelle Calédonie, an archipelago in Oceania, far from mainland France and yet, politically connected to it - a remnant of 19th century colonisation. There, a precious metal is found in abundance: nickel. You will discover why this resource is both crucial and devastating, and what part it plays in the political unrest the island is going through since the 80’s.
