几内亚东北部金矿区冲突致 10 人死亡含 5 名外国人:手工采矿禁令 11 月 2 日生效后锡吉里地区爆发冲突,另有 13 人受伤

几内亚国土管理部公布,该国东北部锡吉里金矿区周三爆发冲突,造成 10 人死亡,其中包括 5 名外国公民,另有 13 人受伤,数字为临时统计。
冲突发生前,几内亚政府于 11 月 2 日起在锡吉里地区禁止手工金矿开采,当地手工采矿活动随即成为执法与对抗的焦点。
禁令宣布后,大批手工采矿者已被迫离开几内亚:马里方面上周称,约 10 万人抵达首都巴马科、约 6 万人抵达边境城镇库雷马莱。
布基纳法索于周五接回因禁令离境的 45406 名本国公民。
锡吉里所在的几内亚东北部是该国重要的黄金产区,手工采矿长期是当地居民的主要生计来源之一。

Clashes in Guinea's Northeastern Gold Region Kill 10 Including Five Foreign Nationals After Artisanal Mining Ban, With 13 Injured
Guinea's Ministry of Territorial Administration said clashes in the northeastern gold-mining region of Siguiri on Wednesday killed 10 people, including five foreign nationals, and injured 13, in provisional figures.
The clashes followed a ban on artisanal gold mining in the Siguiri region that took effect on November 2, with artisanal mining activity around Siguiri becoming a focus of enforcement and confrontation.
After the ban was announced, large numbers of artisanal miners were already forced to leave Guinea: Mali said last week that about 100,000 people had arrived in the capital Bamako and about 60,000 in the border town of Kouremale.
Burkina Faso repatriated 45,406 of its citizens who had left because of the ban on Friday.
The Siguiri area in Guinea's northeast is one of the country's main gold-producing regions, where artisanal mining has long been a primary livelihood for local residents.
