A plan by the U.K. government to hand over the Chagos Islands to Mauritius while retaining control of the joint U.S.-U.K. military base of Diego Garcia through a lease has been put on hold following U.S. opposition. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/04/13/world/politics/uk-chagos-islands-trump/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #politics #chagosislands #mauritius #uk #us #keirstarmer #donaldtrump #defense #diegogarcia

Four islanders land on Chagos atoll, hope to block UK–Mauritius deal

Four Chagos islanders have landed on one of the Indian Ocean archipelago's atolls to establish what they say will be a permanent settlement, a move they hope will complicate a British plan to transfer the territory to Mauritius. #chagos #chagosislands #mauritius #britain #politics #News #Reuters #Newsfeed Read the story here: 👉 Subscribe: Keep up with the latest news from around the world: Follow…

A special relationship? With Trump? Keir Starmer has to pick a side, and America isn’t what it was so let it go… it’s not wise to make deals with the devil.

Just a post to highlight the contradiction regarding Trump’s current statement on the UK-Mauritius Chagos deal last year. He’s mentally unhinged, hasn’t a clue what he’s doing or saying, and is clearly becoming worse every day…

US President Donald Trump has slammed the UK’s decision to hand back the Chagos Islands to Mauritius, branding it “great stupidity” and raising concerns over strategic and security implications in the Indian Ocean. https://english.mathrubhumi.com/news/world/great-stupidity-trump-slams-uk-pact-to-hand-back-chagos-islands-to-mauritius-rqjbfiq1?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon #DonaldTrump #ChagosIslands #UKMauritius #GlobalDiplomacy

@Nonilex I've been following @yuanyiz.bsky.social for a few years -- mostly on Twitter -- and he's written in several articles that this deal with #Mauritius is contrary to the wishes of the #Chagossians , as well as being unwise in other ways.

Grant Chagossians a referendum to decide the future of Chagos Islands - Petitions

"What has happened is that the British government announced plans to cede control of the Chagos Islands, which is a territory in the British Indian Ocean that the British government has controlled since 1814. Should that happen, the British Indian Ocean Territory could wind up no longer existing, and the two-letter country code, IO, would cease to exist."

Under the new political agreement, the UK will provide financial support to Mauritius, including a new trust fund for displaced Chagossians. Mauritius will be able to resettle the Chagos islands, other than Diego Garcia. This island will remain the site of a US-UK military facility for at least 99 years.

This is a significant moment for decolonisation (albeit incomplete), and potentially a landmark moment for the displaced Chagossian community. Decades after being forcibly exiled, they may finally be able to resettle on some of the Chagos islands.
