Un nouveau drame est venu endeuiller le secteur minier artisanal centrafricain. Le 14 juillet, un \u00e9boulement de terrain sur un chantier d’exploitation mini\u00e8re artisanale du village de Soura, en pr\u00e9fecture de l’Ouham-Pend\u00e9, a fait au moins trois morts, selon le Journal de Bangui. Les recherches se poursuivaient pour retrouver d’\u00e9ventuelles autres victimes ensevelies sous les d\u00e9combres, le bilan restant provisoire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Des conditions de travail pr\u00e9caires point\u00e9es du doigt<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Selon les premi\u00e8res informations disponibles, l’accident s’est produit sur un site o\u00f9 l’extraction se fait manuellement, sans les \u00e9quipements de s\u00e9curisation des galeries qui permettraient de pr\u00e9venir ce type d’effondrement. Ce genre de drame n’est pas isol\u00e9 en R\u00e9publique centrafricaine, o\u00f9 l’exploitation artisanale de l’or et du diamant fait vivre plusieurs dizaines de milliers de personnes, souvent dans des conditions pr\u00e9caires et en dehors de tout encadrement technique rigoureux.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Le Journal de Bangui souligne que les \u00e9boulements sont fr\u00e9quents sur ces sites, en raison \u00e0 la fois de la nature du sol et du non-respect des r\u00e8gles \u00e9l\u00e9mentaires de s\u00e9curit\u00e9 par des creuseurs qui travaillent le plus souvent sans filet de protection sociale ni assurance. Les autorit\u00e9s locales sont attendues sur les circonstances exactes du drame, ainsi que sur les mesures qui pourraient \u00eatre prises pour pr\u00e9venir de nouveaux accidents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ce type d’accident touche r\u00e9guli\u00e8rement les r\u00e9gions mini\u00e8res du pays, o\u00f9 l’orpaillage et l’extraction diamantif\u00e8re artisanale demeurent, pour de nombreuses familles rurales, l’un des rares moyens de subsistance disponibles, faute d’alternatives \u00e9conomiques suffisamment d\u00e9velopp\u00e9es. Les creuseurs, souvent organis\u00e9s en petites \u00e9quipes informelles, travaillent fr\u00e9quemment sans formation \u00e0 la s\u00e9curisation des galeries ni mat\u00e9riel adapt\u00e9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cet \u00e9pisode relance la question, r\u00e9currente en Centrafrique, de l’encadrement du secteur minier artisanal, pourtant essentiel \u00e0 l’\u00e9conomie de nombreuses familles rurales mais rest\u00e9 largement informel malgr\u00e9 les efforts de tra\u00e7abilit\u00e9 impos\u00e9s dans le cadre du Processus de Kimberley. Sans mesures concr\u00e8tes de s\u00e9curisation des sites, ces drames risquent de continuer \u00e0 se r\u00e9p\u00e9ter dans les zones d’orpaillage du pays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
