"Dhananjay Ramful stated, 'We will spare no effort to seize any diplomatic or legal avenue to complete the decolonisation process. This is a matter of justice.'"
"The UK government acknowledged it had run out of time to pass legislation for the Chagos Islands due to a lack of support from Donald Trump, leading to the shelving of the bill."
"The international court of justice found in 2019 that the UK unlawfully separated the Chagos Islands from Mauritius before granting independence to Mauritius in 1968."
"The latest setback in the UK's plan to return the Chagos Islands is indicative of faltering US-UK relations, particularly after Trump's criticism of the sovereignty transfer."
Mauritius' government is committed to decolonizing the Chagos Islands following the UK government's failure to pass legislation for their return. The UK ran out of time to act due to insufficient support from the US, particularly from Donald Trump. Mauritian Foreign Minister Dhananjay Ramful emphasized the government's determination to pursue all diplomatic and legal avenues for regaining control. The situation reflects deteriorating US-UK relations and follows a 2019 international court ruling that deemed the UK's separation of the islands from Mauritius unlawful.
