Vanuatu Daily Post reports that the struggle for independence began in the early 1970s. In 1974, Walter Lini established the New Hebrides National Party (now the Vanua’aku Pati).
The date for full independence of Vanuatu was set in 1979.
Take a brief step back through history and reflect on how in the 19th century, when Britain and France both tried to seize dominance over the archipelago.
As a result, Vanuatu (then the New Hebrides) became an Anglo-French Condominium in 1906.
