La Guinée expulse les mineurs d’or burkinabè et provoque la colère de Ouagadougou
More than 8,000 Burkinabe gold miners have been expelled from Guinea after authorities imposed a ban on artisanal and illegal gold mining in several northeastern regions of the country.
The expulsion, carried out without coordination with Burkina Faso, drew sharp criticism from Mahamadou Sana, the Burkinabe Minister of Security.
“On Guinean territory, they were subjected to inhuman and degrading treatment – to the point that there were injuries and even deaths – and we were not informed of this operation in advance. We have an honorary consul. We also have the Burkinabe embassy in Conakry. We should have received information through these channels. This would have allowed us to better organize the repatriation of our compatriots with dignity,” said Mahamadou Sana, Burkina Faso’s Minister of Security.
Hope for a successful reintegration
The minors are currently staying in Mali while awaiting their return to Burkina Faso. They hope to successfully reintegrate into society with the support of the Burkinabe authorities.
“We would like to ask the Burkinabe government to support us in our reintegration, because some of us have diplomas and others do not. We ask for a successful reintegration, because in this situation, we have lost a lot,” said Abdoul Kaboré, one of the deportees.
Guinea announced on November 2nd a ban on "uncontrolled exploitation and illegal traditional gold mining activities" in the prefecture of Siguiri.
The government justified this measure, in a joint statement published by several ministries, by the risks that these activities pose to the environment and agricultural land.
Authorities have begun deploying security forces and army elements, and setting up checkpoints in the affected areas, as part of their campaign against illegal mining in Segeri.
The authorities stressed that these measures targeted lawbreakers, regardless of their nationality, and that undocumented residents would face legal action.

Mais crois moi que les gens originaires d’ici font pire en Guinée 🇬🇳 que ce les burkinabés font dans les zones aurifères guinéenne et ce que les guinéens font dans l’orpaillage clandestin au Sénégal oriental . Et ce au vu et au su de tous le monde.
Ils ne sont nullement inquiétés tout simplement parce qu’ils sont des gens d’ici.
Si on vérifiait on allait trouver plus de gens d’ici dans les compagnies minières guinéennes que des guinéens dans l’orpaillage au Sénégal oriental.
Et je peux parier que le nombre des gens d’ici naturalisés guinéen et/ ou vivant dans dans le massif (exploitant les terres agricoles) du fouta Djallon est plus élevé que le nombre d’orpailleurs clandestins au Sénégal oriental , indexés à tord ou à raison comme des guinéens.
Ce qui lie le Sénégal 🇸🇳 et la Guinée est plus fort que ce qui lie le Burkina à la Guinée.
Ainsi votre seydina d’origine gambienne en est sûrement conscient.
J’espère qu’il osera hausser le ton un jour pour calmer ses vénérants fantasmagorisés.
Je conseil aux soldats numériques du projet machiavélique une certaine circonspection.
