Okinawa sues Japanese govt over plans for construction of new US military base

‘The governor of Okinawa has filed a lawsuit against the government of Japan to stop the relocation of US Marine Corps base Futenma to another part of the region. A relatively small island, Okinawa hosts more than half the US troops in Japan.

“We will resort to every possible measure and will not allow the new base to be built in Henoko,” Governor of Okinawa Takeshi Onaga told a press conference on Friday, as quoted by Japan Today.

Onaga’s lawsuit adds to an ongoing legal war with Tokyo to revoke the government’s decision to construct a new military base for US troops in northern Okinawa. The current USMC Air Station Futenma is planned to relocate there under US-Japanese arrangements citing “less military impact” on the island’s population.’
