We had unprecedented social upheaval last year in Panama to free ourselves from a big Canadian copper mine and to push for nature and forests as our primary source of wealth. Zambia has of course not benefited from mining[0] (surely with the exception of big politicians), serving as just another third world source of raw materials with the usual consequences for the locals and the environment.

About time more people in the global South reject this arragement.
