AnglofuturismThe last hope for the Chagos Islands: Calum DrysdaleThe government is attempting to seal its giveaway of the Chagos Islands: a crucial archipelago in the Indian Ocean that was uninhabited when the Portuguese found them, but to which Mauritius – thousands of miles away – has made a specious claim.
