抵达英国的查戈斯人激增——自 7 月以来超过 600 人，包括本周的 152 人——使希灵登议会的资源紧张，引发了在 38 万英镑预算削减的情况下出现金融危机的警告。 A surge in Chagossians arriving in the UK—over 600 since July, including 152 this week—has strained Hillingdon Council’s resources, prompting warnings of financial crisis amid a £38m budget cut. 理事会预期在英国-芝加哥人的临时住房上花费200万英镑,许多逃离毛里求斯的人担心因为支持英国主权而遭到迫害。 The council expects to spend £2m on temporary housing for British-Chagossians, many fleeing Mauritius fearing persecution for supporting UK sovereignty. 难民潮是在联合王国-毛里求斯同意移交查戈斯控制权以换取每年1.01亿英镑的交换,以维持Diego Garcia军事基地之后流入的。 许多查戈斯人认为Diego Garcia是一个背叛行为。 The influx follows a UK-Mauritius agreement to transfer Chagos control in exchange for £101m annually to maintain a military base on Diego Garcia, which many Chagossians view as a betrayal. 尽管在2022年获得英国公民身份,但他们寻求返回的权利。 Despite being granted British citizenship in 2022, they seek the right to return. 理事会敦促中央政府提供紧急资金,因为联合王国否认该项交易与移徙有任何联系,而主张者则强调与该领土的历史联系,1960年代和70年代曾强行减少人口。 Councils urge central government to provide emergency funding, as the UK denies any link between the deal and migration, while advocates stress historical ties to the territory, forcibly depopulated in the 1960s and 70s.
