An attack on a convoy transporting local employees of Canadian mining company Semafo in Burkina Faso leaves 37 people dead and 60 wounded, a regional governor says

A resident rides a motobycle on street in Ziniare, the hometown of Burkina Faso former president Blaise Compoaore on September 21, 2019.

Saidou Sanou, the governor of Est Region, said in a statement that the ambush by "unidentified armed individuals" took place on Wednesday morning. One in August 2018 also targeted vehicles travelling to its mines, and last December a police vehicle was ambushed on the same road between the city of Fada and the Bongou gold mine.
