Sakoa

Sakoa is a region of southwestern Madagascar characterised by dry spiny forest and known particularly for its coal fields, the highest quality of which is the Sakoa field. There are a number of license holders on the field. The vast majority of licenses of commercial value are held by Madagascar Consolidated Mining, a subsidiary of Red Island Minerals, founded by Sam Malin, which is appraising and developing the resources of the field. Pan African Mining holds a considerable number of licenses on the periphery of the field. Other coal fields adjacent to the Sakoa region include the Ianapera, Imaloto, Sakamena and Vohibory fields.

gollark: The root problem is that all software in existence is awful and we can barely keep up with the obvious holes.
gollark: Chromium itself is apparently fine because of its isolation features, but Discord turns them off in its client because of course.
gollark: See above: an exploit in the Discord client is being used to crash it and run malicious code of some kind.
