Burkino Faso has always had terrist groups infiltrating, from the Sahara. It still does, locals are captured and forced away for sale or blackmail as happned at Inata mine,where the son of the new owner was got back after more than a year,after a large ransom was paid.Not only that but shipments out af the mine were stolen along with anyone travelling in well protected convoys. these groups were descuibed as Isis ,but thety whatever the name purely mercenary pirates.That Inata mine was marginal,along with in an area of a long wet season, which virtually stopped most activity.
Finding them is pretty much impossible as they retreat into the Sahara .
Even though the abndoned prospect was considered un-economic to continue with ,that particular eastern area was not considered vulnerable to attacks.

A business model followed by all miners or companies.
Mecenaries of many different nationalities make up these groups, and for the highest bidder for their "services".
