Kanak Socialist National Liberation Front
The Kanak Socialist National Liberation Front (KSNLF) is a political organization in New Caledonia, advocating for the rights and independence of the Kanak people, the indigenous inhabitants of the islands. Founded in the late 1970s, the KSNLF emerged during a period of social and political unrest, aiming to address issues of colonialism and promote self-determination.
The KSNLF is part of a broader movement for independence in New Caledonia, which has a complex history involving French colonial rule. The organization has participated in various negotiations and referendums regarding the territory's political status, seeking to establish a sovereign state that reflects the aspirations of the Kanak community.
