Mauritius Silent As Diego Garcia USA Military Base Expands
Mauritius Silent As Diego Garcia USA Military Base Expands
Mauritius’s territory island of Diego Garcia is expected to undergo major development and expansion in the coming weeks. For now, the Mauritian government has not said anything on this news but anonymous sources from the Mauritian Ministry of External Affairs said that the government will raise the matter with American officials at the Copenhagen Summit.
Admiral Douglas McAneny, Commander of the Submarine Force, US Pacific Fleet said that the base is expected to be turned into a supply and repairs base for Tomahawk missiles equipped submarines moving in the Indian Ocean. The Diego Garcia military base will also be upgraded so that it can accommodate up to 4 submarines at the same time.
The upgraded floating port at Diego Garcia will be able to provide food, water, electricity and medical services to submarine members.
For a recap, Diego Garcia was excised from Mauritius just before the 198 independence. The Chagos Archipelagos was then rented to the USA by the British. Since then the US has built a big air force base on the main island of Diego Garcia and the citizens of the Island were drop like abandoned dogs in Mauritius by the British and Americans!
Since years now, the citizens of Diego Garcia are still fighting for their right to return to the Island which was in some way “cheated and seized” from them. On this very topic the US government has always been silent and played the deaf while the British are playing the Yoyo with the citizens.
