Under the new political agreement, the UK will provide financial support to Mauritius, including a new trust fund for displaced Chagossians. Mauritius will be able to resettle the Chagos islands, other than Diego Garcia.

Decades after being forcibly exiled, they may finally be able to resettle on some of the Chagos islands.
