Artesia Suprice (C, yellow striped shirt) stands with her family outside their home which is one of dozens that will be expropriated by Haiti’s government to make way for an international airport, on Ile-a-Vache island, off Haiti’s south coast, March 25, 2014. For decades the mostly dirt-poor residents of the small island of Ile-a-Vache off Haiti’s south coast lived in anonymity, until last year when the government claimed the 20-square-mile former pirate lair as a “public utility,” potentially stripping the 14,000 residents of their land to develop a high-end tourist resort.
