Why'd it take so long for the Chagos Islands issue to reach some kind of crisis? I've been hearing about the problem for decades, off and on.

What puzzles me is where the Mauritian envoy says his country would be pleased to renew the lease, if they took control. I thought the idea was to let the islanders go back home.

Probably the lease on Diego Garcia. The archipelago as a whole isn't let out, just depopulated.
