Chad Implements Ban on Sand Extraction Along Chari River Amid Controversy

15 Ağustos 2026France 24

Chad's Ministry of Mines has implemented a ban on sand extraction along the Chari River to address environmental degradation and protect local wildlife. This decision comes after years of intensive sand mining, which has severely impacted the river's ecosystem, particularly around the capital, N’Djamena.
However, the ban has ignited controversy as it threatens the livelihoods of thousands who rely on sand mining for income.
The Chari River is crucial not only for its ecological significance but also for the economic activities of the surrounding population. The intense sand extraction practices have led to significant environmental degradation, prompting the government to take action.
The ban on sand extraction highlights the ongoing tension between environmental conservation and economic necessity in Chad. While the government's initiative aims to restore ecological balance, it raises critical questions about alternative livelihoods for those affected.
