联合王国和毛里求斯同意移交查戈斯群岛主权,但联合王国对Diego Garcia的控制权已保留99年。 UK and Mauritius agree to transfer Chagos Islands sovereignty, but UK retains control of Diego Garcia for 99 years.

2026年1月,联合王国和毛里求斯同意将大部分查戈斯群岛的主权移交给毛里求斯,这被视为向非殖民化迈出的一步。 In January 2026, the UK and Mauritius agreed to transfer sovereignty over most of the Chagos Islands to Mauritius, a move seen as a step toward decolonization. 然而,这项协议排除了几十年前被强行驱逐的土著居民查戈斯人,并保留了联合王国对Diego Garcia的控制权,Diego Garcia是美国关键的军事基地所在地,租期为99年。 However, the deal excludes the Chagossian people, the indigenous inhabitants forcibly removed decades ago, and preserves UK control over Diego Garcia—home to a key U.S. military base—via a 99-year lease. 批评者说,尽管主权发生转变,该协议忽视了查戈斯人的权利,并巩固了外国军事存在。 Critics say the agreement sidelines Chagossian rights and entrenches foreign military presence despite the sovereignty shift.
