flag Farage says Maldives may sue over Chagos Islands, but UK denies access claims.

flag Nigel Farage claims the Maldives is preparing to file a counter-claim at the International Court of Justice over the Chagos Islands, asserting historical and cultural ties and arguing the UK’s plan to transfer sovereignty to Mauritius could destabilize the region. flag He said the UK blocked his entry and pressured Maldivian officials to prevent his access, calling it a humanitarian mission. flag The UK dismissed the claims, citing security restrictions at sensitive military sites. flag The agreement would allow Chagossians to return to some outer islands and secure a long-term UK-US military base on Diego Garcia.
