  1. @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.

  2. @strypey .io TLD should stay as the source of income to help #Chagossians restart their homeland.
  3. 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.
