Kédougou : Démantèlement d’un site d’orpaillage clandestin à Sambrambougou

A major security operation carried out this Friday by the Khossanto Territorial Brigade, supported by the Salémata Surveillance and Intervention Squadron, led to the complete dismantling of an illegal gold mining site in the village of Sambrambougou.

This intervention is part of a larger operation launched by the Kédougou Gendarmerie Legion since August 3, 2025, aimed at combating illegal gold mining in the region. The targeted site, known as "New Djoura," was a hotspot for illegal gold miners.

During the operation, the police seized a substantial amount of equipment, including:

  1. 55 generators
  2. 49 jackhammers
  3. 9 solar panels
  4. 1 chainsaw

The service, conducted from 1 p.m. to 6:30 p.m., took place without incident, testifying to the meticulous preparation and efficiency of the forces involved.

This action marks a new step in the fight against illegal gold mining, a phenomenon that causes serious damage to the environment and the local economy. Local authorities reiterate their determination to continue these operations to preserve the region's natural resources.
