MINE YOUR OWN BUSINESS

About 10,000 people gathered in the city of Puno this week, shouting “Mina no, agro si” (roughly “Mines no, farms yes”). Shops, schools and public transit all shut down.

The protests were sparked by the announcement that a subsidiary of the Canadian mining company Bear Creek would be allowed to build a silver mine near Lake Titicaca.

Titicaca is the highest navigable lake in the world and the largest lake in South America. The lake was considered sacred by the Incas and is a major tourist draw today.

@AJELive Friday, May 20, 2011 – 16:07 – Syrian secret police have killed at least nine people in Homs, including an 11-year-old boy, in an armed crackdown on protestors today, according to three separate eye witnesses who spoke to al-Jazeera.

The attack took place after the secret police had driven police cars into a demonstration of some 2,000 people in an attempt to break it up, said a second eyewitness. After hitting several protestors with the vehicles, one of the cars crashed into a wall, prompting the secret police to jump out and open fire.
