A sudden and mysterious order has brought an immediate halt to the anti-galamsey operation in the Tano Anwia Forest Reserve. According to Erasmus Asare Donkor, “An order has just been sent to the troops who are clearing the forest of illegal miners to leave immediately.”
This development has raised questions about who issued the order, with Donkor asking, “Who gave the order? Mr. President?” The sudden halt to the operation has sparked concerns about the government’s commitment to fighting illegal mining in the reserve.
The Tano Anwia Forest Reserve has been a hotspot for galamsey activities, with reports of environmental degradation and threats to the lives of forestry officials and concessionaires. The reserve is also home to several endangered species and is considered an Important Bird and Biodiversity Area.
As the situation unfolds, Donkor’s update has highlighted the need for transparency and accountability in the government’s handling of galamsey cases.
