The long-awaited deal between the UK and Mauritius regarding the transfer of the Chagos Islands has faced multiple legal hurdles but has ultimately received the green light from the High Court. After a last-minute injunction temporarily blocked the agreement, the court has lifted this block, allowing the UK government to proceed with the transfer. Despite protests from the Chagossian community and concerns over the implications of the deal, Prime Minister Keir Starmer is poised to finalize the agreement, which aims to hand over control of the strategically significant islands to Mauritius.
