Barbuda: Fears of land grab after hurricane

[@jeffgerbracht7647]

And no mention of the construction going on bulldozing the Barbudans land for a new intl Airport. Contruction going on for the new airport 2 shifts a day and at the same time, nothing being done to rebuild electric grid, water, school, etc.

Horrified by Channel Four news having visited the wonderful Barbuda a couple of years ago. This is a tiny tiny island. Why does it need an “international” air strip? This is a land grab by Antigua so they can bring in tons of tourists by air and cruise ship. Wrong, wrong, wrong. Shame on you Antigua. This is a disgrace.

[@nilynn9083]

jane lumley you are absolutely right. There is no need to have an int'l airport. This is an island that I considered paradise. I don't believe that development should take place everywhere.

How can they stay on the island when it wasn't healthy.. does the interviewer hears the questions that he is asking If it was the other way around am sure the question would be.. why didn't the government evacuated them because the island was unsanitary and no running water etc... can't pleas people!

GENTRIFICATION BARBUDIAN STYLE!!!

[@alfredomontez9641]

This man is telling lies, the storm is gone life should be back to normal; why are they preventing people from returning to their island. He is trying to steal it for himself and his monied friends.

Sounds to me these 2 Islands need to go their separate ways. Anyway, let them vote on the issue and we'll see.

[@plong922]

My thoughts exactly. Let them provide for themselves. Antiguans should not be footing the bill for them any more. They want to go back to a mosquito , no running water, no toilet, no food, island. Let them. and when they get sick, leave them there.

[@grassrootsantigua4752]

Our government is not exactly a fan of the democratic process. We're in a situation where this PM is tilting the country towards dictatorship.

[@tyrellrobinson8853]

Pat Long what do you mean antifuans shouldn't be footing the bill anymore. Shut up. Plenty barbudans all around the world have raised money for our island. That government too fucking teef and yes an independence from Antigua is what i'd like

[@mizzwanned]

Ok haarp

[@platzhirsch4275]

Let Germans organise the rebuild.

Dear friends, while I was in Sweden, I saw a documentary about the invasion of Poland by hanshansen, poland, hungary, ın russia, this film was a blackbeard and this film was taken by the Russian soldiers who were in the occupation of the real and the lives were filming and I watched this movie and the fire ending in the fire, the youngsters who were piled on top of each other were ruthlessly scanning from the tank I saw, and as a hun song I lit my heart and I was so upset and I am a blackbird

[@TheMoggiemum]

At the time the evacuation seemed a positive thing. Really sad to see the non stop greed now. I hope c4 continues following is story. Far too many people in other country's can't get homes, if this land is sold off no chance barbudan people will be able to afford it. A natural disaster should not be used to chuck out the poorer section of people. There has to be better ways to rebuild Barbuda without destroying its people.

Don't like this man....beware

[@RaySmith79]

Becasue Question no one is asking? Who should paid for this? Barbuda or Antigua or UN? But one thing is for sure if you choose to live in an island that can be devastated like this, it should come at your own cost.

[@TheMoggiemum]

You don't choose where you're born.

[@GazMatic]

It's one country. The government should pay for it.

[@mutsiecookie2962]

Very good that's what they voted for😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄👍

[@pongnchant6750]

SMH, wow. I would be so tempted to send all those individual Barbudans complaining back to Barbuda since they choose to bite the hand that feeds them. You try to help people in a natural disaster and they turn it around into some kind of conspiracy.

[@GazMatic]

PongN Chant it's not a conspiracy. The government is changing the Constitution so that they could sell the land.
