UK to return Chagos Islands to Mauritius in historic deal | BBC News


The UK has announced it is giving up sovereignty of a remote but strategically important cluster of islands in the Indian Ocean after more than half a century.

The deal – reached after years of negotiations – will see the UK hand over the Chagos Islands to Mauritius in a historic move.

This includes the tropical atoll of Diego Garcia, used…

  1. Nothing would surprise me anymore about Starmer and his cronies and shame on the BBC for supporting this awful woke government's anti British agenda. I'm not surprised that a further 500,000 people have cancelled their TV licences in the last 12 months. Not only is the BBC a nest for paedophiles but it's also openly bias in support of this vile morally bankrupt woke agenda that's both against and openly challenges Britains traditional Christian values… Shame on you.

  2. Great they finally noticed that the uk cannot keep this land robbing . Then the cheeky buggers open war bases. Why ..

    Give Ireland back to the Irish. Or they can easily flood the uk with immragrating people .

    End all this worldwide.. Forklands island as well. Rock of rock in galibrata

  3. So, the US is an imperialist owning Diego Garcia. These so call "free world", have they no shame for stealing Mauritius's land. It was never UK to give to the US. Why should Mauritius be forced not to get back their land immediately?

  4. If Mauritius hasn't got a claim, to the Chagos Islands, how the hell has Britain? Her partner in crime, America has abused and polluted the Islands for decades. This is the problem with these two countries, they have regularly abused the rest of the world for decades, and are still at it.
    And for you Brits, who are no doubt, angry that the Islands are to be returned, I ask you, have you no shame? When are we ever going to own up to the fact that, we viciously, shamelessly, insidiously, ravaged, exploited most of the world, and it's now payback time, whether we like it or not!
    Even now, we are still not doing this willingly, as we should, NO, we are doing it because, we really, no longer, have a choice! Next will be the Falklands and Gibraltar. We will at some point, in the future, be forced to give them up. What goes around comes around!

  5. These war criminal b@stards have the sheer audacity to talk about human rights, democratic values and other countries respecting UN charter and sovereignty of Ukraine while they invade, murder, displace, then setup illegal occupations all over the world. Tjhey are still in Iraq and Syria illegally! the fkn nerve!

  6. It's in the Indian ocean and was only associated with Mauritius for 50 years under British rule and is over a thousand miles away. The ICJ ruling is tenuous at best. The US supplanted the UK in other words.
