The Maidan revolution removed Viktor Yanukovich from power, but barely a year later, many members of his party are getting back into public life. That is not going down well with the Maidan protesters - especially the harcore nationalists who are aligned with Praviy Sektor, or Right Sectorbr  br Story 2: Moroccobr Now for what might be the world's longest-running environmental sit-in. It's happening in Morocco, high in the Atlas Mountains. Berber villagers say a nearby silver mine doesn't employ enough locals, consumes too much of their water, and contaminates the water it uses. They occupied a water facility on a hilltop - and more three years later, they're still there.br Imiter Metallurgic, the company that operates the mine, admits it recycles only 60 of its waste. But the company says 40 of its workforce is local, not the 14 claimed by the protesters.
