Mauritius reaffirms its determination to reclaim the Chagos archipelago

On April 11, Mauritius reaffirmed its determination to reclaim sovereignty over the Chagos archipelago, following signals from London suggesting a suspension of the restitution process. Mauritian Foreign Minister Dhananjay Ramful stated that the country would not abandon any diplomatic or legal avenues to complete the decolonization process. He described this struggle as a 'matter of justice,' highlighting the strategic importance of the archipelago, particularly Diego Garcia, which hosts a joint military base of the United States and the United Kingdom.
