A protester is about to throw a Molotov cocktail at riot forces as clashes erupt on April 10, 2018, during a police operation to raze the decade-old camp known as ZAD (Zone a Defendre, or "zone to defend") at Notre-Dame-des-Landes, near the western city of Nantes, France. The operation plans to evict the last of the protesters who had refused to leave despite the government agreeing to ditch a proposed airport. In January, the government jettisoned plans for an airport that had divided the local community for nearly half a century, and told the protesters to clear off the farmland by spring. But some of the motley group of eco-warriors, anti-capitalists and farmers who had turned the 4,000 acre site into a Utopian experiment in autonomous living had demanded the right to stay put.
