Gold mining
The official reported that gold mining activities in the Luali River have been hindering the implementation of social projects designed by the State, particularly the installation of electricity and drinking water supply systems.
The Defense and Security bodies, as guaranteed, will introduce a new dynamic to reduce the outbreaks of illicit gold extraction and trafficking in Cabinda, whose consequences put the country’s economy at risk.
Suzana de Abreu also referred to projects linked to the expansion of the health network, highlighting that the start of operations of the centers in the town of Conde Malonda and in the communal headquarters of Necuto will contribute significantly to improving assistance to the population and avoiding the evacuation of patients to health units in the neighboring Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).
