Martinique riots
Authorities are under pressure in the French Caribbean Island of Martinique, home to around 350,000 people.
Officials ordered a curfew in several districts of Fort-de-France, the island’s main city, and next-door Lamentin, after violent
cost-of-living protests.
Authorities imposed a curfew last week
The riots follow protests that began in early September over rising prices.
Demonstrators say food and household items cost 30 percent more in Martinique than in mainland France.
They say the French government is treating them unfairly and should lower prices immediately.
