I have long been generally supportive of the people's right to return, but I am far more sceptical of Mauritius' claim to the islands. They were administered from Mauritius when Mauritius was a British colony, but otherwise, they do not have a strong geographical or historical connection there. I guess, ultimately, it is up to the Chagosian people what political arrangements they want, and I hope the negotiators make determining that a priority.

They already did a similar thing in a small island: https://www.aljazeera.com/amp/opinions/2021/8/5/why-is-india-building-a-military-base-on-agalega-island https://www.aljazeera.com/amp/opinions/2021/8/5/why-is-india...
