Since September 2024, there have been widespread protests and violent confrontations across the French Caribbean territory of Martinique. The unrest is caused by elevated costs of living, consequential bans on public protests placed by the central Government of France on several municipalities, and the deployment of elite riot police that had been banned from the territory for over 65 years due to their prior killing of several young demonstrators.
