Another Paradise

Society/History, Belgium 2019

Fifty years ago the entire Creole population of the Chagos Islands was expelled by the British authorities. This secret operation took place in order to lease the largest island to the US Navy so that it could install a military base. For years, Chagossian exiles have struggled to return home. In October 2024, the International Court of Justice ruled in favour of Mauritius, which regained sovereignty over the Chagos Islands. However, groups of islanders are denouncing their exclusion from the negotiations.
