A gost village in Salomon island Chagos.wmv

The Chagos archipelago, which is part of BIOT (British Indian Ocean Territory), was inhabited until the 70's, when the British leased the atoll of Diego Garcia to the United States to make an airbase.

The inhabitants who had settled in the archipelago since several centuries before and lived gathering coconuts and extracting the oil where , for security reasons were relocated and deported en masse in their islands of origin: Mauritius.
Currently, the islands were declared a marine park and thanks to their isolation is one of the few remaining untouched paradises on earth.
