BONG MINES, Liberia and LUNSAR, Sierra Leone – In 2012, Frienkeen Tyler, of Bong Town in the Fuamah District of Bong County was feeling good about his future. Employed as a security guard by China Union, the Chinese mining company, he received a steady salary. His three children attended the company’s tuition-free school and received medical benefits.
But in 2015, Tyler, 35, and his family were plunged back into poverty and uncertainty when China Union shut down operations as the price for global iron ore plunged from US$155 a ton in 2013 to US$53 a ton by 2014.
Now, without a job, Tyler finds it difficult to feedhis family, let alone send his children to school.
