LUTTE CONTRE L'ORPAILLAGE CLANDESTIN : Le GARSI 1 de Kidira saisit un important lot de matériel dans la zone de la Falémé
The Rapid Action Surveillance and Intervention Group No. 1 (GARSI 1) of Kidira, under the Tambacounda Gendarmerie Legion, conducted a large-scale operation against the illegal exploitation of mineral resources from December 7 to 14, 2025. This intervention is part of the application of decree No. 2024-1502 suspending mining activities in the Falémé River area.
The first squadron of GARSI 1 carried out patrols in several strategic locations along the Falémé, including Sambayaye, Alinnguel, Dioubela, Diombalo, Dalaoule and Tomboromadji, according to Seneweb sources.
At the end of this field operation, the gendarmes seized a significant amount of equipment used for illegal mining. They confiscated eleven motor pumps, eight generators, and eight solar panels used to power the clandestine sites. Six jackhammers, fifty-eight shovels, and forty-five picks—essential tools for artisanal mining—were also seized.
Law enforcement seized four motorcycles used for transport and travel to mining sites. Three gold detectors, sophisticated equipment used to locate deposits, were confiscated. The gendarmes also seized fifty liters of gasoline and, more worryingly, two hundred and fifty grams of mercury, a toxic chemical used in gold processing and particularly dangerous to the environment and human health.
As a reminder, GARSI's main missions are combating cross-border crime, terrorism, and irregular immigration. Environmental protection is also one of its essential responsibilities, as demonstrated by this operation conducted in the sensitive Falémé area.
This intervention demonstrates the determination of the authorities to enforce the suspension of mining activities in this area and to protect the country's natural resources from any illegal exploitation.
