Martinique, a French island in the Caribbean, has seen a dramatic rise in the cost of living, leading to widespread frustration and anger.
The frustration boiled over into violent protests, with demonstrators clashing with police, setting cars on fire, and vandalizing businesses.
The French government, responsible for Martinique, has implemented a curfew to control the situation and protect residents.
The protests highlight the deep inequalities between mainland France and its overseas territories, with residents of Martinique facing significantly higher costs for basic necessities.
