How did I misunderstand this?

I come across discussions on the plight of the Chagossians on my travels and remember reading about them in the past but never really understanding what the issue was. I must confess I originally thought it was about a small group, which it is, being relocated due to the expansion of a military base, which it is. Little did I understand the full details behind it nor the processes used in the evictions. I'm probably not the only one to misunderstand this.

Read about how due process has been abused, and continues to be, by starting here.

Funny how it is the US doing the moving in and, by special arrangement, the UK doing the evicting. Why does that, sadly, not sound surprising?
