This intervention was led by elements of the Zone militaire N°4, covering the regions of Tambacounda et Kédougou. In a message published on the social network X, DIRPA clarified that the operation, still in progress, had already led to the arrest of six goldsmiths and the recovery of several motorcycles. In addition to this action against illegal gold mining, the military seized a significant amount of illegally cut timber during their patrols in the area. This is the second such operation in less than ten days in this eastern part of the country. On 20 March, another clandestine gold mining site had been dismantled in Kéniéba, a border town in Mali, where various materials had been seized. These regular interventions of the armed forces are part of the fight against the illegal exploitation of natural resources and the preservation of the environment in this zone strongly affected by clandestine mining activity.
