12 min clip on the inhuman crimes against the native of Diego Garcia committed by the Brits and Americans, produced by Andrew Tkach and correspondent Christian Amanpour. Where are the rights of the Diego Garcians to live in their own islands with dignity, without being bungled out of their homes, and dumped into Mauritius and Seychelles Islands because the Brits and the Americans seized their land to build a military base? Where were the western media to report on the suffering of the Diego Garcians, the massacres and violation of human rights and rights to their land?
Where is India that claimed the Indian Ocean as their backyard but allowed the Americans to build a huge military base housing nuclear weapons?
The plight of the Diego Garcians is quite similar to the plight of many islanders, eg the Hawaiians, the Luchuns or Okinawans. The Luchuns were massacred by the Japanese in a racial and cultural genocide. Why are the western main media keeping silence about the plight to the Hawaiians and Luchuns?
The Luchuns are fighting for their independence just like the Hawaiians and the Diego Garcians. These are the real stuff, not the fake news about Xinjiang and Taiwan. In the case of the Luchuns or Okinawans, after WW2, the Ryukyu Islands were supposed to be returned to the Luchuns, the natives of the islands. The Americans had temporary administrative control of the islands like the Diaoyu Islands. But the treacherous Americans struck a deal with Japan with Japan allowing the Americans to build a military base on the Ryukyu islands. For this deal, the Americans illegally handed the control of the islands to Japan in the 1972.
Since then, Japan conducted a systemic racial and cultural genocide against the Luchuns, massacring many of time like the Americans extinguishing the native Americans to take full control of their lands. The Luchuns, like the native Americans, lost their lands, culture and lives to become a minority in their own land. The Japanese flooded the islands with many Japanese to replace the Luchuns.
There is no outcry against the genocides of the Luchuns and the native Americans or the Hawaiians by the western media.
