The Hidden Story Of Chagos Island
Did you know that there is an African territory that has remained under colonial control for over 200 years?

At the heart of the dispute lies Diego Garcia, home to one of the most important military bases in the world. TRT Afrika explores the hidden story of the Chagos Islands, the controversial sovereignty deal between the United Kingdom and Mauritius, and a renewed diplomatic drama sparked by US President Donald Trump.
