Protests in Peru

This is interesting:

Peru declares state of emergency over disputed mine 

From the NMAI Facebook feed. The government favors development and holds that a mining project has been democratically reviewed and agreed upon--but the state of emergency responds to widespread demonstrations by local, mostly indigenous, people. The last line of the report is interesting: The Environment Minister has resigned in protest.
