A human rights NGO in Burkina Faso has accused the army of killing at least 25 civilians, including a woman and a baby, in the east of the country this week, according to a statement carried by AFP on Friday.
Neither the army nor the Burkinabe government reacted initially to these accusations. The east of Burkina Faso is one of the regions most affected by the violence of jihadist groups, fought by the army and its auxiliaries.
On Wednesday evening (1 February), "the Collective against Impunity and Stigmatisation of Communities (CISC) was seized by several relatives of victims" reporting "allegations of summary executions of civilians attributed to the Burkinabe Defence and Security Forces (FDS) in the localities of Piega, Sakoani and Kankangou", said a CISC statement received by AFP on Friday.
The executions took place as a convoy of "more than a hundred vehicles" left Wednesday for the Boungou gold mine, "escorted by dozens of 4x4 pick-up vehicles carrying several FDS in military uniforms", in these three localities along the National Road 4 (RN4), according to the CISC.
Twelve deaths (including three women and a baby) were reported in the village of Sakoani, about 125 km from Fada N'Gourma, the capital of the eastern region, seven (including four women) in the village of Piega, 60 km from Fada N'Gourma, and six in the hamlet of Kankangou in the territory of the village of Sampiéri, according to CISC.
Inhabitants of Sakoani contacted by AFP testified to the discovery of "eleven bodies" without life after the passage of the convoy.
"The death toll continues to rise as the information reaches us from the field," the ICSC said.

My Thoughts:
How long can Endeavour's share price avoid getting clobbered by these deaths? And now it's the army/security forces who are the ones alleged to be responsible! If this massacre can be attributed directly to Endeavour security (either thru contract workers or what have you) what will be their liability ? Terrible situation.
Hi Cowichan,
I fail to see how any decent company could wish to do business in Burkina Faso whilst such abuses of human rights are taking place!
Amnesty International condemns in the strongest possible terms the massacre carried out by unidentified armed men in the village of Solhan(Sebba commune, Yagha province)on the night of 4-5 June 2021, resulting in the deaths of at least 130 people. Thiswas the deadliest attack oncivilians since armed groups began operating in Burkina Faso i

Villagers said that heavily armed Islamist fighters killed civilians during attacks and planted deadly improvised explosive devices (IEDs). Fighters in dozens of cases raped and otherwise abused women and girls who were foraging for wood, traveling to and from the market, and fleeing the violence. The fighters also burned villages; commandeered ambulances and looted health centers; destroyed crucial water, telecommunications, and electricity infrastructure; and engaged in widespread pillage. Many villagers described seeing numerous child soldiers, some as young as 12, within the armed Islamist ranks.

I agree Tibbs - hopefully this latest tragedy isn't swept under the rug
007
you know exactly what I'm talking about - your investment in Avocet bit you in the behind big time when they dissolved - and that after the management wouldn't answer questions or explain the real situation on the ground
- kinda like Centamin, but go ahead and voice your enthusiasm to buy more, double down
You are wrong .
It was years ago , you really had to search ,didn t you ,
it was just a little anoyance ,no more really.
What about you with CEY ,did you buy at 2 Quid, and now you say you have sold all, I think you tell porkies. Thats why you are bitter. HA HA HA, good night.
: -)
Although it is going back to many years ago ,You may be interested in Acp, an investment for the future .
I do not remember Avocet.
Maybe for you
Good luck in your future investments.
Sincerely.
I am very old ,and get confused.

This forum is what it is because members help and support each other and unlike most other forums don't take offence with one another because they may have a different belief or opinion on an issue, also most members don't tend to delight in someone else's misfortune,brag about their trading prowess,feel embarrassed to ask questions, or even admit making mistakes!
This is why we are able to cope all the better with the snakes and ladders game of holding shares in Centamin!
We are after all all human and the market is hardly a level playing field for the likes of us retail investors!
Keep well!
Tibbs
