🇬🇭Ghana Ends Gold Mining 🌍 ... at 278 small-scale mining sites in a sweeping license revocation, the Ministry of Lands and Natural Resources announced on October 23, citing regulatory breaches and the expiration of licenses. 🔸The blanket revocation is not ordinary for the country and may serve as a dogwhistle for those who urge the Ghanaian government to take more decisive steps in fighting illegal gold mining - known locally as galamsey. 🔸 Last time something similar could be witnessed was in March, when the government revoked ALL licenses issued since December 2024. The oversight authorities have clearly embarked on the path of sorting the mess in licesning, though its impact on the anti-galamsey fight remains vague. Certainly, illegal miners are not very upset. Some don't care about formalities at all, while those who at least try to stay within the legal realm prefer working under soneone else's license for a humble fee. Devils Below
