The battle over land rights and sovereignty on the island of Roatán has galvanized the whole country
Straight ahead of Wilford Webster’s hilltop home, waves break over the turquoise waters that surround the reefs offshore.
“Look at this,” he said, his arms framing the panorama. “Who wouldn’t want this?”
To the left, is the community of Crawfish Rock, a few hundred people of mostly English-speaking Black Caribbean descent who live in raised, wood-slat homes on ancestral land.
To the right, there is a security booth with cameras, a gate and a guard. Just beyond that, a prototype residence and the headquarters of a controversial start-up city sit amid a landscape scarred by a bulldozer and deep holes dug for the foundation of the next phase of construction.
Perched on an incline where the road splits the countryside as much as the community, Webster’s home on the island of Roatán is at the center of a battle over land rights and sovereignty that has galvanized Honduras.
