Sam: Do you still work with the company from Mali?
Lenny: No, not really
Sam: why?
Lenny: hmm, it just happened at some point
Kim: The problem was the political instability a few years ago
Arlene: The islamists?
Kim: exactly
Kim: when they took control of a significant part of the country
Kim: we could not risk to send there people anymore
Sam: I see, haven't you thought about reviving this connection?
Kim: we found a new company in Burkina Faso and we're quite happy with them
Lenny: Yes, even the personal connection is very good
Lenny: They turned out to be very reliable
Sam: better than the Malians?
Lenny: hmm, maybe
Kim: it doesn't matter now, we can't leave them
Arlene: And the situation in Mali is still not very stable
Kim: exactly, it's a mess
Sam: I see
Lenny does not work for a company from Mali anymore. Islamists took control over a significant part of the country which made it unsafe. Lenny and Kim are now working with a company in Burkina Faso.
