What ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ด means

The flag of the British Indian Ocean Territory: white with blue wavy lines, the Union Jack in the corner, and a palm tree with a crown. It covers the Chagos Islands in the Indian Ocean.

It appears mostly in news about the military base on Diego Garcia and in posts by displaced Chagossians and their supporters.

The islanders were removed to make way for the base. The UK has signed a treaty to hand sovereignty to Mauritius while keeping the base, and the deal remains contested, so the flag is a sensitive symbol.
