Niger has withdrawn the issue of closing the largest gold mine in the country
The military council of Niger, which overthrew the democratic government led by Mohamed Bazoum, has decided to close the largest gold mine in the country in the town of Tchibarakaten near the border with Algeria.
Before her ouster, the Bazoum government announced a bill that said the mine would be closed for security reasons.
The military government said that this gold mine will be used to generate income for Niger, in order to further improve its economy.

The authorities of the country under the government of Bazoum have alleged that there are those who are mining gold in many areas without the permission of the government, which is seen as causing security problems.
This has led to the launch of a program to educate the youth on the principles of mining but with the help of the concerned authorities.
