News regarding displaced miners

I am curious as why Venezuelanalysis has not covered this very dramatic and important event in the province of Bolivar...the displacement of 1000's of miners evicted from their illegal mines. I agree with the fact that the VZ government finally took steps to eradicate the illegal gold mining. However, it does not seem like much thought had been put into dealing with 1000's of people who would have no home, job, or money ( It seems that the soldiers took away the little they may have had ). I would like to see this 'unbaised' news outlet report what is going on in Bolivar, seeing as this has to do with President Chavez's 'second economy', gold mining.

Sincerely
