In one corner of the market camp, villagers have stockpiled sharpened bamboo stakes - a defense against possible forced eviction. The villagers have also directed their anger at local officials regarded as allies of the company. At one recent protest, a crowd of about 200 people occupied a government compound to demand the resignation of a village chief.
