The Dispute between the UK and Mauritius

Mauritius - a beautiful island nation off the coast of Africa. You may thing of Mauritius as a prime tourist destination for beach lovers, but the country is a lot more than that. It's one of the freest, most peaceful and most democratic African nations. Mauritius claims a group of islands in the Indian Ocean, and the UK largely ignores those claims. How they got here and why, we'll discuss in this video.
