A group of illegal miners, popularly known as galamseyers, have vowed to continue their activities despite a recent raid on their mining site by a team of soldiers.
The Ghana Armed Forces (GAF) have intensified the fight against illegal mining, launching a series of coordinated anti-galamsey operations across the Northern, Central, and Southern Commands.
According to the GAF, these targeted operations focused on major illegal mining hubs, particularly in forest reserves and river basins where environmental degradation has been most severe.
Operation Breakdown: Northern Command: Troops were deployed to the Bole area and the Black Volta Basin, where illegal mining activities have been linked to water pollution and the destruction of farmlands.
