It is my understanding that the Chagossians themselves have said they don’t want to be Mauritian, instead it seems they wanted to be a BOT like Bermuda or Cayman.

I’m not sure this is a proper solution of some sort of imperialist style “chuck it over wall” reaction to a problem Sir Kier can’t be bothered to study.

I think that's a fair reaction and my understanding is also that a lot of Chagossians are, at least, sceptical of Mauritian involvement in their struggle.

Truthfully, the main issue has always been the military base and this deal doesn't alter that fact anytime soon.
