Email from Andrew Dinning re BF situation.
My understanding is that TGM’s issue is a local issue and I would think they will work through it with community leaders and address their problems. If you look at the location of Karma it is in a totally different part of BF to where we work. We continue to drill at site and work with our local communities where we have built three schools, run school lunch programs and undertake other community initiatives. Everyone has a view on politics in BF. We continue to operate at site and operate in the same way we did before Compaore’ resigned, the government is functioning as per usual and we await elections. There was always going to be an issue with the presidency as Compaore’ did not want to go and the people were saying his time was up. Regards Andrew
