UK will give sovereignty of Chagos Islands to Mauritius

The UK has agreed to hand over the Chagos Islands, including Diego Garcia, to Mauritius after over 50 years of negotiations.

The deal allows the US military base on Diego Garcia to remain for 99 years while providing financial support to Mauritius.

The agreement aims to address historical grievances of Chagossians, who were forcibly removed from the islands.

Reactions are mixed, with some Chagossians hopeful about returning, while others feel excluded from the process.
