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.

There was a time you spoke quite vociferously against the poor management and lack of accountability of Avocet Mining PLC
And so you should have - if only to warn other investors of the dangers - even though it seems you lost money in Avocet by not heading the warning signs in advance
now you seek hard proof from your fellow Centamin investors why they are less than enthusiastic
but the red flags with Centamin are numerous - and shared ad nauseum by myself - but you are willing to accept them
Of course this recent fall in Centamin's share price is solely due to the falling POG - but is it any less irresponsible to voice high conviction while operational red flags are present?
Avocet Mining's failure is my hard proof that exiting a position based on management's failure to be forthcoming is better than blind faith in a CEO based on hope
If it does go to pound or lower ,I am going to buy another 100,000 quid in this.
It seems some think its on its **** ,ok your opinion, to me a good buying opportunity , getting out of some spare fiat currency.
Tell me why not, if you can prove it, I would be interested, if not I will buy gold coins, pity cey did not sell direct as a sideline.
I can assure you all I am genuine, some may think foolish ,so be it.
Its my opinion. :-)

The day isnt over yet see what the price of gold is at close,but yes it will more than likely go back to £1.I would be ineterested to hear why you choice this share it hasnt really got much going for it with high costs and it doesnt even pay a good dividend anymore.
This share is completely hobbled at present by the $467m to clear up the mess left by chancers Andrew Pardey & Youssef El Raghy who in order to gloss over the cracks were high grading for well over five years which has increased the AISC astronomically and so until there is some real evidence that the Sukari operation clear up is completed and going to deliver a sustainable and respectable guidance there are only promises of what might be achieved, some time down the road!
So 1880 broke today :( what is your view on bottom here £1 or are we going back to the 80-90 range again? What are the lth realistic views here? as watching this through years my guess is it’s difficult to predict, I was under the impression that once the issues with collapsed wall get resolved, Cey would return to realistic value…
Patryk, gold miners tend to lead the gold price, as other note gold had gone up too far too fast and miners have been anticipating that for a couple of weeks, plus with Cey add on the results. Miners tend to be a surprisingly good leading indicator of the gold price, hopefully it is just a big correction but gold is fickle, the miners should give us. Little advance notice
The dollar index today is the same as it was on 31 January when gold was 50 dollars higher,it was obvious that the price of gold had gone up to quickly in the last few weeks, and there was going to be a correction which we have seen today.At the moment the key 1880 is holding but if that breaks we could see it going back towards the 1820 level and i think that is the reason/fear for the big drop in share price today although i appreciate it has been going down for the last few days as well
Yep alas, the blot on my portfolio this week- gained like a Japanese train, that has now been taken over by a UK train alas.
Such a shame that this was 127 not long ago, been following this like a hawk as I’m deeply invested here but noticed a down pattern even when gold was going up a bit, as if this stopped following gold after the last RNS…, as some suggested here maybe it’s the AISC that scared the market away… I still believe this will come good one day esp when gold breaks that 2k barrier.
Quickest gold drop on stochastics to zero on a lot of time indicators and the RSI hourly on just 16. USD of course is bolted higher. How on earth has 74,000 public sector jobs been created in December USA. Those job numbers can not be real. They must have counted employees pets as well.
Yes Steve Jones just read Kitco report.
It seems the Economic forcasts from both the Labour Dept on revised data , are not that accurate/ guestemates.
Reuters polled Economists the same ,in other words the figures cannot be trusted.
On top of that ,the BLS revised their system for industry classification from which their unemployment data is derived.
Give it a few days for them to settle down,and figure the economists guesses out. :-)
Come on No Fear-----add a few more exclamation marks!!!!!!!!!!!
still shocked this went all the way to 127p and has fallen all the way back again. good old cey, true to form as usual
In the title if you wondered why gold dropped just after 13:30.
Part uncertainty, part ignorance but ever hopeful. Whilst an infrequent contributor, who is not thriving on small caps, I again note steady performance on a fund linked to the all-share index.

See 2-year chart. The lesson is "don't overlook the mundane elements of a p/f".

Happy Friday y’al
Enjoy your weekend
Back in the real world, we have an online local community, which tries to keep tabs on what is going on...some recent blogs
"Hi, I've just recieved my new house and contents insurance premium and its gone up $89 per month! "
"I have just recieved my new interenet bill, and last month it has gone from $65/month to $95/month, bit more than 10% !!!"
and on it goes.
The pollies must know this , but of course they cannot speak about it. It just adds to the total lack of trust in a group of people who do not tell it as it is. Just appalling.
And the only thing propping up the local fiat currency, is trust in the pollies and "the system". Well trust must be very close to walking out the door is all I can say. Walked out the door a long time ago for me
Go gold, and bitcoin ( I am not into the crypto space!?)
good luck all

Good post Tony
With any volatility comes opportunity.

Yes, amazing how we have been recession accodring tot he politicians. Its only all he people and many companies who do not believe it. Citi Australia’s chief economist Josh Williams said while it agreed with the RBA that headline inflation had peaked at 7.8 per cent in the December quarter, it would stay above existing forecasts through to 2024....We have 800,000 people converting their ultra low loans, to variable and are they in for shock. Its obvious the government will engineer a definition of inflation to meet the prediction of the govt economists, LOL.
We now have govt handouts for the mistakes the govt made in energy policies. Thats after the handouts by the govt for the mess they caused with covid lockups/lockouts (etc), and there are handouts for flood relief, and now the govt is looking at taxing the family home? Wacky stuff at best.
More seriously, unfortunately a vast % of Australians have given up on the Political rhetoric. Certainly a lot of the young dont listen to it, don't listen to the main stream media, and just go about their lives.
Lots of strange things happening ... where lives safety aymore?

You are right Tony.
US think if you keep on telling lies often enough ,people will believe.
Unfortunately some times ,many do believe.
A little like BBs. HA ,ha.
Now back to sleep ,for me. .
We may need to think in weeks instead of days as central bankers are in deep trouble along with governments everywhere. In USA the gold eagle have an article that shows how USA is calculating inflation is changing this month and hence why no inflation forecasts from central bankers. They are pretending inflation is going down and they are pretending we are not in a recession. They are pretending whatever Government treasury departments do is up to them but the Truss fiasco shows it to be otherwise. Very few safe havens out there. Hence my slow drift back to Centamin. Do not worry about a few pence drifting around for now this will be a red hot place to be when the economic problems become even more obvious.
Depends on how you compare Razor- over a day cey down more than Pog, just- intra day eg from opening (price of cey was 111 at open) both down
The POG is down 1.5% and the price of Centamin is flat.
As soon as the US opened up POG was spanked!
