Paris, September 24 (RHC)-- France has sent a long-banned riot police force to the Caribbean island of Martinique amid mounting protests over the cost of living and inequality.
Martinique, which has a majority-Black population, has been colonized by France since the 17th century.
Residents of Martinique pay an estimated 30 to 40% more for food than residents of France. White and French residents of Martinique also hold outsized political and economic power.
