Listen "Chagos Archipelago: A tale of colonial trickery, a long fight for justice, and Australia's continued siding with international oppressors"
Episode Synopsis
Jacques and Jennifer talk about another scandalous case of neo-colonial excess - the human rights crimes against the population of a newly independent country, Mauritius, and the people of its territory in the Chagos Archipelago. As part of a secret deal between Britain and the US, they were illegally deported to make way for a US military base. The connections with and similarities between 'terra nullius' in Australia, the removal of Palestinians from their lands and the 'empty lands' lie in Chagos/Mauritius are there for all to see.... anticipating AUKUS in another way?
