Anyone bother to ask what #Greenland folk actually want, let alone the #Chagossians, or is it all just a zero sum game and these people are pawns in an #imperialistic scramble for #resources? https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-greenland-uk-chagos-islands-mauritius-deal-diego-garcia/?utm_source=firefox-newtab-en-us #donaldtrump #denmark

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.
