#6  Lots of rumors about this island.

The Take Away: The island was leased by the UK to the US in 1966 for an initial period of 50 years, before this was extended, and was set to lapse in 2036 before the latest agreement.

The new agreement with Mauritius is set to guarantee the two countries' rights to operate the military base for at least the next 99 years.
