FILE - In this Nov.4, 2018 file photo, pro-independence activist strike a pose as they celebrate in the streets of Noumea, the New Caledonia's capital, while waving the indigenous Malanesian flag called the 'Kanak' flag. Voters in New Caledonia, a French archipelago in the South Pacific, are to choose whether they want independence from France in a referendum that marks a milestone in a three-decades-long decolonization effort. The vote on Sunday, Oct. 4, 2020 is key to determine the future of the archipelago east of Australia and its 270,000 inhabitants, including the native Kanaks, who once suffered from strict segregation policies, and the descendants of European colonizers.
