摘要

英国于2024年10月达成协议，将查戈斯群岛的主权移交给毛里求斯，这标志着印度洋非殖民化的一个转折点，尽管毛里求斯必须将迪戈加西亚的控制权交还给英国99年，以维持美国的军事基地。本文追溯了1968年至1973年间查戈斯人被迫流离失所的历史，以及他们目前的反应，因为他们的未来悬而未决。尽管有在群岛部分地区重新安置的承诺，许多查戈斯人仍然担心他们继续被排除在有关他们祖先家园的决定之外。他们的经历揭示了当军事战略凌驾于土著权利之上时人类所付出的代价。

The Chagos Archipelago: A limited victory for decolonization

The UK's October 2024 agreement to transfer sovereignty of the Chagos Archipelago to Mauritius marks a turning point in Indian Ocean decolonization, though Mauritius must delegate control of Diego Garcia back to the UK for 99 years to maintain the US military base. This article traces the forced displacement of Chagossians from 1968-1973 and their current responses as their future hangs in the balance. Despite promises of resettlement in parts of the archipelago, many Chagossians remain wary of their continued exclusion from decisions about their ancestral homeland. Their experiences reveal the human costs when military strategy outweighs indigenous rights.
