lyrics

What used to be a peaceful island is a naval base
They expelled the whole population for the Cold War race
Due to campaign of deceit their fate is still a mystery
Thousands of Chagossians simply taken out of history
La lutte - fighting in courts
La lutte – they yearn to come home!

Commentary: In the 1970's, inhabitants of Chagos Islands experienced forced expulsion from their homeland. The Cold War was in full swing and the USA simply needed a new military base in Indian Ocean. People's lives were uprooted and they had to move to Mauritius where they could not adapt to a new lifestyle and lived in abject poverty. Their sons and daughters still hope to return home. The struggle continues to this day!
