@WarMonitor3 Not a fan of decolonisation, are you?

[Benedikt Mandl @b_mandl]

@WarMonitor3 Is your concern that the US will find Mauritius a less reliable partner than the UK?

[Benedikt Mandl @b_mandl]

@WarMonitor3 Small countries like the UK benefit from the rule of law and international collaboration. Applying rule of law and fair play vis a vis Mauritius called for reverting a historic illegal act.
