  "summary": "Ghana's Lands and Natural Resources Minister, Emmanuel Armah-Kofi Buah, has announced significant progress in the fight against illegal mining along the Ankobra River. In a 16-kilometre patrol from Dominase to Gwira Banso in the Western Region, thousands of Changfan machines and illegal mining operators have been cleared, marking a marked improvement since Buah first inspected the area in September 2025. The success is attributed to intelligence-led operations by the National Anti-Illegal Mining Operations Secretariat (NAIMOS) and the Navy Special Forces. However, Buah acknowledges concerns about continued pollution and stresses the need for consistent enforcement to ensure the river's recovery.",
