Digging Up Kyrgyzstan

For example, "if a foreign company violates ecological requirements, irreparably harms the environment or affects waterways or kills wild animals as a result of its mining operations, the agreement can be terminated immediately and unilaterally," says one official source.
Conflicts among miners, workers, and locals are frequent in Kyrgyzstan, most often due to a misunderstood or lacking agreement on the ground, such as the case at the Jamgyr gold mine in Jalal-Abad. "About a hundred local residents blocked the road, captured machinery, and were able to shut down operations of the foreign investor Gold Company Vertex," says Chairman of the Central Committee of the Mining and Metallurgical Union Eldar Tadzhibaev.
