    "content": "Additionally, in September 2023, the Cabinet Secretary for Environment, Climate Change and Forestry gazetted 6,165 acres of land in Macalder area as forest land despite the land being ancestral home to over 20,000 households that have lived on and practised artisanal mining on the land for many years. The gazettement of the land without public participation threatens to permanently disinherit residents of their ancestral land and disconnect them from lifelong benefits expected to accrue from the minerals in the region. This has caused spates of violent conflicts among artisanal miners, small mining companies and foreign mining companies as locals seek to preserve their right to land and benefit from the mineral resources."
