Well I mean that I hope the locals and MAN (and authorities) reach an agreement. I hope also that the government will not forced (by law) the locals to evacuate to allow the mine to come to production.

I think this evacuation is bogus, and some elements of the community are propagating it because it serves their purposes.

If MAN is willing to divert the river from TG1 and TG3, remove the topsoil, move the mango trees to the new location of the topsoil, build them all new abodes,.....this sounds like a negotiation to me, and the folks offering the most money to the natives will win. I think chithead mafia types are attempting to demand bribes for nothing,...and now that the government, and several government negotiations are taking over, the mafia are going to get there arses kicked out.

This is a done deal,...the question is, how much it will cost, how profitable it will be.
