Burkina Faso trapped miners: Wives heartbroken but praying for miracles


Still Waters

Recommended Posts

Loud Christian prayers ring out each day like a song as relatives of men trapped a month ago in a mine in Burkina Faso try desperately not to give up hope.

It has taken the rescue team 31 days to reach the first rescue chamber in which the missing miners might have sought refuge from the flood waters that engulfed the Canadian-owned Perkoa zinc mine after unexpected torrential rains on 16 April.

But when the chamber was opened this week, none of the men - six Burkinabès, a Zambian and a Tanzanian - were there.

Now their families' hopes rest on a second chamber located right at the bottom of the 710m mine.

Also known as survival rooms, they are sealed off and can offer safety with oxygen and are stocked with water and snacks.
