Miners in Burkina Faso Locking Down Operations

Conditions in gold-rich Burkina Faso have continued to deteriorate in 2019, with increased militant activities in areas near mine sites.

Unrest in the gold-rich African nation of Burkina Faso is increasing, with the Islamic State (IS) now claiming responsibility for the death of a Canadian miner while the central government has ordered artisanal mining in the east of the country to halt as it carries out military operations.
