Britain Returns Chagos Islands to Mauritius. Why Now? | Vantage with Palki Sharma

The UK is returning Chagos Islands to Mauritius after more than half a century. Chagos is a cluster of strategically important islands in the Indian Ocean. The largest among them is Diego Garcia, which became a military base for the UK and the US when Mauritius,…

Western geopolitics is so nasty. And how they always portray themselves as generous defenders of peace, security and human rights while occupying and oppressing others.

They just loosened up their grip but they still hold on to other people's land.

Negotiation happened just before the dissolution of Parliament before the election.. It's a political move and Chagosians were not involved in the discussion. A lease of 99 years?? Do they take Mauritius for a joke??Mauritius is a sovereign state..India has its military base in Agalega..All these countries are using small countries for their own benefit and they mentioned about security???If wars are happening;, t's because of political ambition and a thirst for power… A race of who is more powerful than the other…Who pays the consequences?? People, the same people that give these politicians the power…

Chagos was NEVER Mauritius. The blacks we took there from Africa have opposed this hating the Islamic Regime who has tried to oppress the Christians. Before we seized it from Napoleon, nobody had lived there. This is bs. Never was a Muslim area and now Argentina are threatening thebFalklands which, was NEVER there own. We was gifted it from the Soanish Empire and pre Spain it too was desolate.

No. Mauritius DID NOT GET SOVEREIGNTY on DIEGO GARCIA but ONLY on tiny chagos Isles which are not habitable. The actual government od Mauritius, very cheap ans money minded, gave lease of 99 years to UK on Diego Garcia, so how come is this called Mauritian sovreignty? Election is in November in Mauritius and this is a strategie to lure Mauritians electorates. But we are not fools. The actual govt is going out. Citizens have decided to put actual govt OUT!

The islands never belonged to Mauritius, Britain stole them from the French in 1814. The islands were uninhabited when the French claimed them. They are 2,200 kilometres from Mauritius. Britain gave Diego Garcia to the US to build a base during the Cold War. Britain doesn't use the base. It no longer needs one in the Indian Ocean. Islands like Bermuda, the Falklands, Caymans, and Gibraltar have had referendums and want to remain British. for some reason. These islands are now a headache. The Falklands has 3,000 inhabitants, but Britain has to keep planes, ships, and troops to protect them from Argentina, it is a waste of money.

Wow, anything to get rid of the black Chagossians that are now in the England–1,500 less immigrants in England. It's a great deal for England, and America coz with (at least) the 99 year lease, how are things changed? And it must cost America less than peanuts after what is being spent trying to take down Putin thru Ukraine. So before we attribute any moral high ground to Starmer and old Biden, lets take a hard look at what really happened here.

Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa etc are still part of Britain with the British monarch as head of state (just like the Falklands). Their just no longer "British Colonys" but "British Realms/Territories" or "British Dominions" that have their own Governments, Parliaments, Prime Minister but with the British Monarch as Head of State with a "Governor General" in each country representing the monarch & doing the role of the monarch in each country (signing in laws, opening parliament etc).

With this, finally the sun will set in the British empire(which was literally and figuratively the shadow of its former self by holding onto pieces of islands like these around the world) once the deal is official done next year.

Gibraltar and falklands consider themselves british, in facr gibraltar uas had refurendums, unanimously in favour of remaining a british territory. If spain makes a claim on gibraltar or argentina on the falklanda this become an occupation not a return of a territory.

Somewhere in China, there's an ancient map that provides evidence that ancient China owned Chagos. Then the Chinese military will move in.

Why NOT now? I understand the tories started this process, putting wrong a right of many many years. Have you been asleep for 20 years during the many protests by Chagos islanders who were kicked out of their homeland? AND the Elgin Marbles should be returned to Greece, please.

China should offer the Chagosians to built up the atolls' and lease a base there too for 100 years!
