Chagossians

Abandoned church at Boddam Island, Salomon Atoll.
Flag of the Chagossians community.
Diplomatic cable signed by D.A. Greenhill, dated August 24, 1966, stating

The Chagossians (also Îlois or Chagos Islanders) are people of African, Indian and Malay ancestry who previously inhabited the Chagos Islands, specifically Diego Garcia, Peros Banhos, and the Salomon island chain, as well as other parts of the Chagos Archipelago. Most Chagossians now live in Mauritius and the United Kingdom after being forcibly evicted by the British government in the late 1960s and early 1970s so that Diego Garcia, the island where most Chagossians lived, could serve as the location for a United States military base. Today, no Chagossians live on the island of Diego Garcia, as it is now the site of the military base Camp Justice.
