Saraya : 21 machines d’orpaillage clandestin détruites lors d’une opération de la gendarmerie à Bembou
The territorial gendarmerie of Saraya conducted an operation on Wednesday, November 11, 2026, from 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM, to dismantle illegal gold mining sites in the bush between the villages of Bembou and Séguékho, in the commune of Bembou, department of Saraya. Twenty-one mining machines were destroyed, 29 makeshift shelters were burned, and a significant quantity of equipment was seized.
The defense and security forces also seized six tricycles called "Piki Paka", eight motorcycles, four generators, ten jackhammers, two motor pumps and 22 jerrycans of fuel.
The operation mobilized 13 gendarmes and two local security agents (ASP), with two Toyota Hilux pickup trucks, one of which was provided by a private individual.
This latest operation is part of the ongoing fight against illegal gold mining, a particularly worrying problem in this part of the Kédougou region. An investigation has been launched to determine responsibility and identify any individuals involved in these illicit activities.
