Yes, they hired an Italian contractor to take away the rubbish ... with predictable results. They even manage to add a nice bit of local flavor to the fiasco.

Fighting erupted between the company workers on strike and employees of the governorate [sic] who attempted to step in and collect the garbage.
Italians have a long tradition of not taking away the rubbish ... it's good to see that they're non-discriminatory about it. They'll not take away the rubbish for Arabs just as equally as they'll not take away the rubbish for native Italians. For example, in Jan 2008 around Naples,
110,000 tonnes of garbage piled up in the streets, triggering sporadic violence.
I passed through the Campanian region a few years ago, and I saw it with my own eyes.
