Why the struggle to close the US military base on Diego is so crucial today?LALIT militant Lindsey Collen in an interview with Heckle, Scottish organisation who have generously given permission to LALIT to re-load on youtube. This interview is of particular relevance in the context of the Joint-Statement between former Prime Minister Jugnauth and Prime Minister Starmer that was released a day before general elections in Mauritius was announced.
It is a beautiful introduction for people to understand the importance of struggle to close the US military base on Diego-Chagos and decolonise the Chagos, part of the Republic of Mauritius.
The interview, in narrative style, gives a very vivid idea of the "structure of feeling" of the struggles of Chagossians/Mauritians from the 1970's and the reality that Chagossians are a part of and indissociable from the people of Republic of Mauritius.
