Barbudans still in occupation of the Government-owned Barrymore Hotel may be forcibly evicted from those premises.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Though this was not officially revealed or confirmed, come Wednesday 15, May, 2019, another attempt was said to be scheduled to remove some ten families from the inoperable facility.<\/p>\n

Even with public officials and a heavy police presence, earlier attempts to evict the occupants led to a stand-off that ended in futility after the Barbudan showed defiance, apparently strengthened by the presence of their parliamentary representative Trevor Walker and media workers who showed up to witness and report on the developments.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The facility was reportedly refurbished to house some of the Barbudans who were evacuated form the Sister island following the almost total destruction of the houses during the passage of hurricane Irma.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The storm rated with intensity of ‘Category 5,’ struck the island on September, 6, 2017, leaving one infant dead and a trail of infrastructural and agricultural destruction.<\/p>\n

Prime Minister Gaston Browne, speaking to ABC news was quoted as saying, ‘The hurricane hit Barbuda like a bomb.’ Against this background, residents were evacuated from the island.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Many Barbudans have since returned and have been putting their lives together.<\/p>\n

Those that are yet to return were said to be having difficulties rebuilding their homes or securing work or alternative accommodation on the mainland.<\/p>
