On #ThisDayInHistory in 1965, #HaroldWilson (#Labour) created the #BritishIndianOceanTerritory, the first step in the #genocidal #EthnicCleansing of the #Chagossian people. Every person was removed from their homes, never to return, just so the US could lease #DiegoGarcia base.
The agreement between UK & Mauritius on the return of the Chagos Islands fails to guarantee & protect the rights of the #Chagossian people, including their right to return to Diego Garcia, to effective remedy and reparations and cultural rights, UN experts warn.

Amid my concerns about this deal (lack of input from #Chagossian community, access dependent on Mauritian citizenship alone etc), it being pulled because #Labour fear #Reform was not one of them. The rightward lurch continues. www.express.co.uk/news/uk/2055...
Self-determination for the #Chagossian people, exactly as if they were Greenlanders or Falkland Islanders. What is the difference? #Chagos #ChagosIslands #DiegoGarcia #Mauritius #DonaldTrump #KeirStarmer #DavidLammy #PMQs #bbcpm
