Excellent long read about the British expulsion of the Chaggosians from the Chagos Archipelago during the Cold War to create an unpopulated island for a U.S. military base - impressive legal battles to try to gain the right to return @TheAtlantic (1/)
theatlantic.com
Half a century ago, the British government forcibly removed 2,000 people from a remote string of islands in the middle of the Indian Ocean. They’ve never stopped struggling to return.

While mass expulsion is an historical phenomenon, it is very much still in use today with an average rate of 1.56 expulsions initiated each year over the last 50 years. And 7 expulsion events in the 5 years between 2015-2020, affecting over 2.1 million persons. 4/

Some cases include the Ottoman Empire’s expulsion of Orthodox Greeks (1913-23); Idi Amin’s expulsion of Asians from Uganda (1972); African migrants expelled from Nigeria (1983 & 1985); and Haitians expelled from the Dominican Republic (1991, 96, 99, 2015), just to name a few… 3/.

Mass expulsion is defined as, “a systematic govt-sponsored policy to remove an ethnic, racial, religious or national group, as such, with no individual legal review and with no recognition of the right to return.” Is has occurred all over the world in the 120 yrs examined. 2/
