Peru's mining boom.mpg

Peru is enjoying a mining boom, 4.6 billion dollars worth of foreign investments were pumped into the industry this year.

The high demand for minerals in Southeast Asia has led countries like China to invest in Peru.

Towns like Morococha have enjoyed better working conditions following the mining boom.

However, new mining projects have met fierce resistance in other parts of the county because they fear the mine would affect local water supplies.

Al Jazeera's Mariana Sanchez reports from Morococha, Peru.

@phackqu The fucking whitish politicians and authorities just care about themselves and their own interests (being the minority that remain rich by fucking up the rest of the country). That's why we need TRUE Peruvians (mestizos and Amerindians) to run the country...people who really care for and love Peruvians. The whitish inept bastards are good for nothing but to line their own pockets, and we need to get rid of them...SOON.

BOOM??? These foreign bastards are taking away OUR resources and while doing so...killing OUR people. Hope God curse them. The fucking government is not less guilty. Bastards!!!

Yeah, that's a great way to create wealth and combat poverty: By contaminating water supplies, and forcing substinance farmers into poverty.
