Boutique shops are seen on Main St. in Bay St. Louis, Mississippi, August 26, 2015. Ten years ago this week, the eye of Hurricane Katrina ripped through Pass Christian and Bay St. Louis, which face each other across a small bay 60 miles (97 km) east of New Orleans. The storm, the costliest disaster of its kind in U.S. history, caused some of the worst damage in the region here, leaving few buildings standing, killing dozens and forcing thousands to flee. The appearance now is one of impressive regeneration, thanks in part to government grants that helped these towns and others nearby recover more quickly than some urban areas of New Orleans. But behind the fresh white paint of the city buildings and the growing optimism, there are signs of persistent difficulties for these picturesque towns, which can no longer rely on government grants.

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.

A shipping vessel arrives in Freetown as men sit by the side of the road in Sierra Leone November 21, 2012. With its galloping growth rate of an estimated 21 percent this year, driven by new iron ore projects and recent oil discoveries, Sierra Leone is being grouped by economists with the bounding "African lions" - countries from the continent that are leading the pack of the fastest growing in the world. But Sierra Leone's business prospects may look considerably sleeker from a Johannesburg office or boutique hotel than from the pot-holed streets of Freetown, where things like available cash, power, transport and the Internet are services only obtained with difficulty, by those who can afford to get them.
