On December 11, four thousand residents of a northern Tanzanian village stormed Barrick Gold Corporation's North Mara gold mine.
Activists claim that Barrick security guards sparked the occupation when they allegedly shot a local man.
Riot police with guns and tear gas dispersed the villagers, who destroyed a reported $7,000,000 of equipment and stole gold ore.
Police killed one person, according to a Barrick spokesperson. |
