    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…

  8. 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. english.mathrubhumi.com/news/w #DonaldTrump #ChagosIslands #UKMauritius #GlobalDiplomacy

  9. @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.

  10. "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."

  12. Will the #UK ‘give up’ #Gibraltar next? In #Spain, we’re more worried about #Brexit’s absurdities

    Ignore warnings of the Rock following the #ChagosIslands – new border checks are more of a threat to livelihoods in the territory and beyond

  13. 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.
