Ian Jacob from Mauritius is fighting US imperialism. His demand is: The US must close its military base in Diego Garcia, the Indian Ocean island in the Chagos Archipelago that was used to bomb Iraq and Afghanistan.

He says, in halting English, that the "island is part of the Republic of Mauritius. It was stolen by the British in the mid-1960s and leased to the US".

His Website is www.lalitmauritius.com Lalit is a left-wing organisation that is working to secure Diego Garcia from where, Jacob says, the US military evicted indigenous people and dumped them at Mauritius.
