'Thousands Forced to Flee': Traore Slams Guinea Over Burkina Faso Gold Miners | Firstpost Africa

Watch as Firstpost breaks down the escalating diplomatic rift between Ibrahim Traore's Burkina Faso and neighbouring Guinea following a crackdown on artisanal gold mining in northeastern Guinea. Thousands of Burkinabè gold miners have been forcibly evicted from the Siguiri region, with reports of deaths, gunshot injuries, and over 8,000 displaced workers fleeing across the border into Mali. As Security Minister Mahamadou Sana accuses Guinean authorities of subjecting Burkinabè citizens to inhumane treatment, both nations find themselves at odds while simultaneously opening their own domestic gold refineries in Ouagadougou and Conakry. Alyson Le Grange brings you the complete breakdown of West Africa's push for resource sovereignty and the human cost along the borderlands.
