Mauritius to sue Britain over Chagos delay

Mauritius is planning to sue Britain over delays in ratifying the Chagos Islands deal. Prime Minister Navin Ramgoolam announced that his government has begun consulting international law firms while awaiting the formal transfer of the Indian Ocean territory. The deal, if ratified, would see the UK hand over ownership of the Chagos Islands to Mauritius and lease back the Diego Garcia military base. Concerns have been raised over the lack of a clear timeline for ratification, prompting Mauritius to explore legal avenues to expedite the process.
