Hundreds of workers from a massive copper mine took to the streets of Peru's capital on Tuesday, waving flags and chanting slogans that demand the government find a solution to a grinding conflict that has temporarily shuttered the project.
The conflict over the Las Bambas mine, one of the world's biggest sources of copper and a large contributor to government coffers, has spurred growing uncertainty over the South American country's key mining sector.
The protesting workers snaked through Lima's downtown as they approached the Congress, worried they might lose their jobs if the conflict is not resolved soon.
