Chagos Islanders win victory at High Court

Families exiled from the Chagos islands in the 1960s and 70s to make way for a US Indian Ocean airbase have won a new victory in their long fight to return.

I’m glad that the High Court has come out on the side of justice and fairness once again. The Chagos Islanders have won a battle and they should savour their victory today. But they have not yet won the war.

You are right in saying that the war isn’t won. You should watch the John Pilger documentary on the matter and you will understand why they can never win the war.
