CANADIAN firm Tiomin Resources, which has been entangled in a $120m titanium mining tussle on the Kenyan coast, faces a second lawsuit to stop its proposed operations. Some 1_200 local peasants in Maumba-Nguluku village of the coastal Kwale district have filed writs seeking to block titanium mining in their locality. Lawyer Gikandi Ngibuini, who represents the villagers, listed at least 20 grounds for grievances, among them poor compensation for their land and possible environmental degradation. However, the Canadian mining firm appears certain to acquire licences from the Kenyan government for its project. – AFP
