Erased, Pt. 2: The incredible story of the Diego Garcia US military base and the Chagossians

Eutopya Podcasts

Anya sits down with Professor David Vine of American University of Washington D. C., author of Island of Shame, to discuss the history of the Chagos Islands. In 1965, the UK and the US conspired to set up a military base on one of the archipelago’s islands, Diego Garcia. It’s a story of imperialism, deportation, and immense suffering. This episode was produced—across 4 countries and 2 continents—by Paula Medina Agromayor, Anya Bégué, and Mario Edoardo Simmaco. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/eutopya-podcasts/support
