The Chagos Islands AKA Diego Garcia
You are sitting down enjoying your evening meal when knock a comes on the door. Its a U.S. soldier holding a weapon at your chest giving you orders to get your family and get out of your house, the house you built, the house you have cared for, the house that contains all the memories of your wife, children and family members. You are forced out at that moment with nothing but the clothes on your back and the shoes on your feet. This is the scene in 1838 when the "Indian Removal Act" was put into effect against the Ani Yun Wiya in the Southeast United States, thus began the "Trail on which we cried", you know it as the Trail of Tears.
Fast forward to 1965, His-story repeats itself. A U.S. soldier knocks on the door, and tells the people of the house, tells the residents at gun point they have time enough to pack one suit case for each person of the house, they were then herded like cattle on to boats and shipped to Port Louis, Mauritius an Island off the east coast of Africa, east of Madagascar. Next they tricked many of the Islanders off their homeland and those they could not trick they terrorized. The military of the U.S. and U.K. rounded up the pet dogs of the people and gassed them to death in front of the men, women and children to place fear in them to get them to leave. Those that still would not go they literally starved them to death. From 1965-1973 this new "Trail on which we cried" continued for the Ilois of Diego Garcia.
The colonial powers of the world have moved and removed Black people world wide for their lustful desire for world domination. It is a domination that will continue as long as we live in a world where white genetic survival is the fear that manifest itself as white supremacy.
On May 24, 2007 the Ilois/Chagossians won in a British court the right to return to their homeland.
