Saraya : Un éboulement dans un site d’orpaillage clandestin fait deux morts et plusieurs blessés à Gamba-Gamba
A tragic accident has occurred in an illegal gold mining area in Gamba-Gamba, a village in the commune of Bembou, in the department of Saraya, approximately 37 km northeast of the local gendarmerie brigade. The tragedy took place within the perimeter of the Afrigold mining company, which had already been weakened by previous mining operations.
According to initial reports from a survivor, 38-year-old Diadié Dansokho, numerous gold miners had entered the area in search of gold ore in cavities abandoned by industrial mining. It was during this activity that "a section of the sand suddenly collapsed," burying several people.
The survivor recounts being pulled from the rubble thanks to the swift intervention of other gold miners present at the site. After several hours of manual searching in difficult conditions, two bodies were recovered. Three other people sustained minor injuries.
Alerted, members of the Saraya territorial gendarmerie brigade went to the scene to carry out the usual observations and open an investigation to determine the circumstances of the accident.
The bodies were taken to the morgue at the Kédougou regional hospital. The search continued for any other possible victims.
This new landslide raises the question of the persistent presence of illegal gold miners in high-risk areas, despite the obvious dangers associated with these unstable sites.
