Britain Still Has A Colony In Africa, Refuses To Return Its Control To Mauritius
The UK has been called an illegal colonial occupier by Mauritius after it ignored a deadline to return control of an overseas territory to the island nation.
The UN had given the UK six months to give up control of the Chagos Islands - but that period has now passed.
Mauritius says it was forced to trade the small archipelago in the Indian Ocean in 1965 for independence.
The UK says it does not recognise Mauritius' claim to sovereignty.
