  The people of Chagos was taken from his territory between the years 1968 and 1973 without knowledge that they could not return. They never stopped dreaming about the native land. In places where they were left, mainly Mauricio and Seycheles, have suffered misery and discrimination. They are victims of colonialism and disrespect from European states, which by force of the weapons or the decod has dominated people without state. This archipelago was part of Mauritius and was dismembered when negotiations for independence in front of the United Kingdom, when he became a Republic of Mauritius. Continuous act to independence, the Chagos archipelago was emptied to build a military base there.

They have suffered more defeats than victories. More recently, from 2017, the International Court of Justice was triggered to issue an advisory opinion in which the independence of Mauritius is in question, sovereignty on the Chagos Archipelago and the resettlement of its inhabitants originating.
