RE:Burkina Faso securitySecurity issues in BF are nothing new. A strong part of the rationale for Endeavour's takeover of Semafo was that the larger group would be more influential with government and Endeavour had better security protocols.
The threat around the Boungou mine is extreme - and Endeavour has put in place security measures to meet it, e.g. flying workers in and out, rather than using roads.
Thanks for highlighting the government resignations - I hadn't spotted that story:
https://foreignpolicy.com/2021/12/15/violence-sahel-burkina-faso/ Under LSE rules, Endeavour is required to make a news release if operations are significantly affected, so it's safe to assume that they're not - at least for now.
The terrorist/instability threat in West Africa is a factor that will tend to make Endeavour's shares trade at a discount to those of miners operating in safer jurisdictions. However, it's a trade-off between the quality of resources available in West Africa vs the security and political risk. So far, Endeavour has shown itself to be well capable of managing those risks.
Cheers,
