Argentina says it will take 'full sovereignty' of the Falkland Islands
Argentina has vowed to gain “full sovereignty” of the Falkland Islands after the UK gave up control of a remote archipelago. Sir Keir Starmer’s Government announced on Thursday that Britain had returned the Chagos Islands, in the Indian Ocean, to Mauritius in return for securing the future of a strategically important military base.
Reaction to the deal was mixed, with some hailing the end to a bitter and long-running dispute over Britain’s last African colony but others, including Tory leadership candidates, suggested it could undermine UK security. Human rights campaigners, who have called for full reparations to generations affected by the forcible displacement of islanders, argued the deal does not go far enough to address the wrongs of the past.
