Talk:Chagossians

message: It seems the islanders prefer to be called the "Chagossians", as "Ilois" has come to have pejorative connotations.  See para 17 of the recent court case:
:"17. ... These latter were known as the Ilois, a term not always used with a precise or commonly agreed definition. Most of them lived on Diego Garcia, the largest island. They now describe themselves as "Chagossians", but again with no precise or commonly agreed definition. Chagossians is a name which they prefer to "Ilois" because that has come to have pejorative connotations."

replies: text: Well spotted. A Google search also shows the two terms appearing roughly as often (26,000 results for Chagossians, 28,400 for Ilois). Moving the article to the preferred name is probably justified. — Itai (talk) 19:47, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

message: What is the citizenship status of the Chagossians? Are they considered citizens by the Mauritian government? Are they stateless? --Jfruh (talk) 15:19, 28 July 2011 (UTC)

replies: text: Citizenship is a most important aspect indeed, and deserves a separate section in the article.  As far as I can recall many of them (possubly a majority) are UK (hence EU) citizens resident in the UK nowadays. Apcbg (talk) 17:10, 10 February 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Citizenship? 

message: It seems like all activism is focused in Britain. But the United States is also responsible. The United States could rescind its objection to Chagossians returning home and effectively end all this. Are there any organizations in the United States supporting the cause of the Chagossians? If not there needs to be.75.133.90.126 (talk) 01:22, 30 December 2012 (UTC)

If you believe the specific link should be exempt from the blacklist, you may request that it is white-listed. Alternatively, you may request that the link is removed from or altered on the blacklist locally or globally.
When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags.
Please do not remove the tag until the issue is resolved. You may set the invisible parameter to "true" whilst requests to white-list are being processed. Should you require any help with this process, please ask at the help desk.
