@JoeQuinlan @nileane if you think that's bad, look up what the British government is still doing with the Chagos islands. tl;DR: evicted the locals so the Americans could build a naval base, tried to sell the islands to the US, won't repatriate the islands to Mauritius, and won't let the locals come back. |

Yes, stronger than ever.
They want to change the law to unable French citizens that just settlers there 10 years ago to vote and decide of the destiny of the colony.
Back 70 years ago
