An interesting situation. The military is in charge of security and have the guns and resources. There is more concern that the military are behind the troubles there as they have the vested interest of “protecting” the workers. My experience from my time there, was the workers and employees are not behind the troubles. The “independence ” movement has more to do with the peaceful negotiations that with the killings and attacks.
