 | | Both the ilois and the American government kept up the pressure, the former by continuing their lawsuit and the latter by applying subtle persuasion to the FCO. | | | The most tragicomic aspect of the latest Chagos fiasco, however, is how unnecessary it all is. There is no rational reason for the United States or Britain to oppose the ilois resettling in the islands other than Diego Garcia, most of which are hundreds of miles from the USN base. | | | The Chagos islands are in no more danger than other low-lying Indian Ocean islands, and their long-term habitability (not to mention their suitability for long-term naval occupation) has never previously been called into question. |
