[Testimonies include: Sambo - His life "used to be good, like everyone else's in the village". But then they lost access to their best fishing grounds as the mining company started to build a port...Jean-Claude - I am totally convinced that the money I received in return for my farmland was too little...I am not trying to block QMM's [QIT Madagascar Minerals, subsidiary of Rio Tinto]...projects but the food security of my children is the most important thing to me"...However, he gives credit to the improved transport services, which have "helped us enormously".]
