Jean-Marie Tjibaou
Jean-Marie Tjibaou was a prominent Kanak leader and advocate for the independence of New Caledonia from French colonial rule. Born on July 26, 1936, he played a crucial role in the political and cultural revival of the Kanak identity and was instrumental in negotiating the 1998 Nouméa Accord, which aimed to establish greater autonomy for New Caledonia. Tjibaou's vision of 'a gamble on intelligence' emphasized dialogue and understanding between communities. His tragic assassination in 1989 marked a significant turning point in New Caledonia's history, but his legacy continues to influence the ongoing discussions surrounding the territory's sovereignty and self-determination.
Born on Mar 26, 1934 (91 years old)
