After Guadeloupe, Martinique was also shaken by clashes during the night of Thursday 25 to Friday 26 November. As a sign of appeasement, the government announced the postponement of the vaccination obligation.
During the night of Thursday 25 to Friday 26 November, detonations rang out in Fort-de-France in Martinique. The police came under fire from guns and tear gas canisters. Four police officers were slightly injured by pellets. A gendarme was hit by a car and four journalists were also shot. “When there is a risk of propagation, we go to extinguish, but if there is none, we take no risk, we do not put the agents in danger”, explains Mickaël Roy, firefighter.
An atmosphere of urban guerrilla warfare reigns over the dams. Trucks even drag the burnt carcasses of cars to reinforce the road blockage. In a residential area, young residents on motorcycles face heavily armed police. Throughout the night, gangs broke and looted the stores. Some dams are still on fire in Martinique and several are still blocking the roads, Friday, November 26.
