[@afromoris]

I saw the heartbreaking interview of your mother, explaining how the news were delievered to you and the passing away of your dad.... I hope that knowing she raised you to be the man you are today makes her proud. 💪

[@jimmywmcgee3492]

If it were not for your good fight through so many years, your culture, your land, your birthplace would be lost forever. You are the pillar not only for your homeland, for all of us, an inspiration to be reckoned with. Thank you so much.

[@faanengaaw7357]

thanks

[@TaLeBogan710]

Chaggosians are Africans, Mauritians are Indian descendants...

[@landshark9992]

@@TaLeBogan710 A sizeable proportion of Mauritians are of African descent. There are those of Chinese and European descent too. But this isn't about race, it's about justice. Chagossians SHOULD be allowed to return to their islands. It's THEIRS. Not British, and the Americans have no business being there either

[@meatmachine449]

Chagos belongs to mauritius now, read the news i will come there to fish on my commercial fishing boat, i heard its the best fishing spot ever, cheers on your new citizenship mate…

[@MarieBenoit24]

[@strajkovski8767]

This is very painful.

[@mrutube5880]

You are returning to Chagos !

[@lebaldevampire6273]

Get up stand up, stand up for your rights. Get up stand up, don't give up the fight. Oliver, one reason they do not want to give in even more, it is because MH 370 is on the island.

The Unheard Truth: Geographically Chagos is on the same ridge with Maldives and closer 600km, but Mauritius is NOT, 2100km. Before slaves arrived to Chagos or Diego Gacia, South Maldivian travel and used to stay, planted coconut palms and others there - like its Maldivian backyard! Even long before WW1, Maldives King Claimed Portuguez Rulers it's their place. So Diego Gacia (including Chagos) should not be given to Mauritius- but to Maldives. Citizenship does not always rely on to your Birth place. Perhaps your family was there for work, after the place was taken from Maldives by French or Portuguez!

for how long should we continue to suffer for how long should we bake for us to be counted by human being in this world that people can you wake up and lower right and fight for them oh God help us we don't have readers in this continent neither do we have people with conscience

[@MrMicky1441]

Go and cross check : if SSR was fully involved and full aware of the trade. Who others than SSR was involved??! SAJ as well???? The answer will be sooner or later revealed by the UK one day??? How much has been sold???! Is there any signed and agreed documents by the Mauritian Govt that UK government is sticking to their positions???! The truth should be revealed. It’s just not a trade??! Right??!

[@pimentconfi]

The truth is Sir Sewoosagur Ramgoolam gave the Chagos to Harold Wilson British Prime minister at 10 Downing street in exchange of Mauritius Independence as Geatan Duval of the Parti Mauricien was asking for a referendum to make Mauritius a full British territory and Mauritian with a full British Passport like the Falkland,Gibraltar,St Helana,Turks and Caicos,Cayman Island,Anguilla etc

[@dearshomy]

It wasn't his to give.

[@krisnenvencat8524]

How can SSR sold Chagos when Mauritius was for the British.

[@_JohnDoe]

How can he "give" something that isn't even his? The British were going to detach the Chagos Archipelago irrespective of whether they granted Mauritius independence or not. Harold Wilson essentially just informed SSR that the UK was going to carry out the detachment.

[@landshark9992]

Ramgoolam didn't give anything away. The British held onto the islands and then decided to evict the Chagossians. What Mauritius IS guilty of is allowing the Chagossians to live in harsh poverty and not helping them like they should have

[@CB-fz3li]

What do the exiled people of the islands want? As far as I know this guy lives in England not Mauritius. Do they want independence, right of return as part of British territory or right of return as part of Mauritius.

Dear Oliver Bancoult, you as the scattered people should know this. Deuteronomy 28 45 Moreover all these curses shall come upon thee, and shall pursue thee, and overtake thee, till thou be destroyed; because thou hearkenedst not unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which he commanded thee: 46 And they shall be upon thee for a sign and for a wonder, and upon thy seed for ever. 47 Because thou servedst not the Lord thy God with joyfulness, and with gladness of heart, for the abundance of all things; 48 Therefore shalt thou serve thine enemies which the Lord shall send against thee, in hunger, and in thirst, and in nakedness, and in want of all things: and he shall put a yoke of iron upon thy neck, until he have destroyed thee. 49 THE LORD SHALL BRING A NATION AGAINST THEE FROM FAR, FROM THE END OF THE EARTH, AS SWIFT AS THE EAGLE FLIETH; A NATION WHOSE TONGUE THOU SHALT NOT UNDERSTAND; 50 A NATION OF FIERCE COUNTENANCE, WHICH SHALL NOT REGARD THE PERSON OF THE OLD, nor shew favour to the young: 51 And he shall eat the fruit of thy cattle, and the fruit of thy land, until thou be destroyed: which also shall not leave thee either corn, wine, or oil, or the increase of thy kine, or flocks of thy sheep, until he have destroyed thee. All people of Chagos, cry out to the Most High and repent. God is on your side if your fully turn to him. Thanks TED for posting this.
