Local police are now patrolling the mine, but that won’t be enough to assuage AngloGold’s justified concerns over safety. Obuasi seems farther away from reopening now than ever before. With no resolution in sight, the grievances of the local miners and communities (many of whom got raw deals in relocation when the mine opened, and whose streams are now polluted by tailings) will keep boiling over. Bad news for everyone involved, and if the situation becomes untenable even AngloGold might pull out entirely.
