Editing Expulsion of the Chagossians (section)

== Expulsion ==
Firstly, the islands were administered from Mauritius, so the British government decided to revoke the islands of Mauritius to create a new colony, giving rise to the British Indian Ocean Territory (BIOT), which was created for the sole purpose of expelling to the chagosianos.

After this, the United States and the United Kingdom began to block the access of boats that transported food to the islands, this in order to generate a famine and make the Chagossians want to leave the islands. Later, [[Bruce Greatbatch]], ordered all the dogs on Diego Garcia to be killed. More than 1000 pets were gassed with exhaust fumes. This was done in order to scare the Chagossians, who had a great bond with dogs. Also, all Chagossians who had traveled to Mauritius were not allowed to return, causing many to lose their belongings and be stranded in Mauritius.

Finally, the colonial authorities began to forcibly expel the Chagossians, since they would be transported on a boat to Mauritius, only allowing them to carry a suitcase and having to sleep next to bird droppings with only a mattress (note that families They were numerous, so a mattress was not enough for a whole family).

Later, the ship sailed, first stopping in Seychelles and later in Mauritius, where the British would leave the Chagossians to fend for themselves on the dock, causing many to end up living in extreme poverty, leading to the suicide of many Chagossians.
