This absolutely perfect 12 mile stretch of beach, along with the rest of this small Caribbean island is being stolen from its people by the antiguan government. This island is a communal property island that was given, after slavery ended; back to the natives. The land has passed down generations and every transfer of property or building built must have a 51% yes vote.

After hurricane Irma their has been a delema that the antiguan government has been so kind as to come up with a solution. Make all the land titled and freehold so the people can get loans to rebuild. 🤔 this way these peole who survive on basically no money can rebuild a nice spot only to have it forclosed on 6 months later. At that time the bank will simply sell it to foreign investors.

This is modern day robbery of land from a indigenous people who simply want to be left alone.

Sort:  

That's ludicrous! Maybe there IS something useful the U.N. could actually do for once....? They should file a complaint with the International Court of Justice in The Hague too.
