The Malvinas Conflict

[LeftEyeNine]

I think we should just put it on sale on Ebay - after all no one seem to care about the innhabitants.

I think that had sounded like " Falkland Islands anyway. Who cares ?" and that's why "We'd not care about Hordaland, Norway either."

[Philippus Flavius Homovallumus]

Hmmm, yes. The Islanders are British, they should not be ruled by a foreign power. Not to mention they're quite happy as is, thankyou very much.

Do the islanders have internet? Someone should invite one of them here to give their side of the story.

seems they do

According to this document

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

In May 1999 the British Government, at the request of the Falkland Islands Councillors, initiated talks with Argentina to further aid co-operation over areas such as conservation of fish stocks and mineral resources. A Joint Statement, formally witnessed by two Falkland Islands Councillors, was signed in July 1999.

The Statement also provided for the resumption of flights from South America, including stopovers in Argentina and for the admission of Argentine passport holders to the Falkland Islands. Items can be summarised as follows:
Enhanced co-operation between the Falkland Islands and Argentina on fisheries, conservation and a co-ordinated programme to tackle poaching.


A review by the Argentine Government on the Argentine place names for Falkland Island locations, imposed under decree by General Galtieri.


The entry of Argentine citizens with an Argentine passport to the Islands, so ending the ban introduced in 1982.¹


The resumption of the weekly flight between Chile and the Falkland Islands suspended in March 1999 by the Chilean Government following the arrest of General Pinochet in the UK. The service makes two stops per month (one each way) in Rio Gallegos, Argentina.


A memorial to Argentine servicemen who lost their lives in 1982 to be erected in the Islands at the Argentine cemetery.²


Co-operation between the UK and Argentine Governments on the clearing of landmines.

the islanders are all for mutual cooperation between themselves, the UK and their neighbors in the region. I see no budding conflict there; rather: moves to resolve or prevent conflict.
