Attack on mining convoy kills 37 in Burkina Faso

I spent some time in Burkina Faso (as well as in Niger) helping to train their army for peacekeeping operations. There is no security in the Sub-Saharan region. Unless the US is willing to put in the necessary numbers of personnel and equipment needed to provide at least adequate security we should pull everyone out of there.

Very sad news, my friend SSG Robert Mark Odom To be honest I am not shocked since it was Burkina Faso where this attack occurred.
