RE:Geography lesson BSdetector,
You may well be correct that Fekola is isolated and immune from any threat. But in regards to geography, the airport in question is in central Mali. Also, the insurgents are very active in Burkino Faso which is at the same latitude as the Senegal border. Probably four or five hundred miles away.
On top of that, there is unrest just over the border in Senegal where members of the mining community were shot and wounded by authorities in the last day or so.
Not sure what sheeple are, and I don't feel especialy jittery myself. I just feel that something might need to be done. What that is, I don't know.
I'd call it a precarious situation.
