Contact is taking a break after 25 years of bringing you news of Tibet and Tibetan issues. We are celebrating our 25 years by bringing you the story of Contact and the people who have made it happen, and our archive is still there for you to access at any time, and below you can read the story of Contact, how it came into being and the wonderful reflections of the people who have made it happen over the years.
When and how Contact will re-emerge and evolve will be determined by those who become involved.
Heavy machinery and equipment has been transported to the vicinity of Drakzong, a hill considered sacred by Tibetans living in the nearby Dingwa township in Zoege County in Amdo Ngaba. A protective deity is believed to reside in two caves in the hill. Local residents, who fear environmental consequences from mining, have blocked a road leading to the site; they have been threatened with police intervention.
