Chagos deal: Decolonization in name, exploitation in practice

11 Jun 00:09

While many celebrated Britain's "historic" return of the Chagos Islands to Mauritius in May 2025, the devil remains in the details. This isn't the decolonization victory headlines proclaimed, it's a masterclass in modern imperial rebranding that maintains Western military dominance while appearing progressive on paper. The real story lies in what the treaty doesn't change: 10,000 Chagossians still can't return home, Diego Garcia remains America's most strategic military outpost, and Britain just paid £9 billion for a 99-year lease to continue what began as ethnic cleansing in the 1970s. It seems that the most effective colonialism is the kind that gets branded as its opposite.
