Brazilian authorities have launched a raid on illegal gold miners who have been illegally operating in mineral-rich territory belonging to the Indigenous Yanomami people, they said on Wednesday.
More blockades are set to go up as the operation continues which is expected to last for months - despite reports of many miners fleeing the area into neighboring French Guiana, Suriname, and Guyana ahead of time.
The operation to clear out the miners follows the re-election of Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, commonly known as Lula, to the presidency who had made it a pledge after years of encouragement of the illegal activity under his predecessor, Jair Bolsonaro.
