Kyrgyzstan on verge of anarchy: Yahoo! News

Kyrgyzstan>link

The part of this story that caught my attention:

..."villagers blocked the road Canadian firm Centerra Gold Inc. needs to access the Kumtor gold mine, which is vital for the economy.

The protesters agreed to lift their week-long roadblock in return for almost $4 million from the company in compensation for damage caused by a 1998 cyanide spill into a local river."
