An Open Letter to President Magufuli

In response to the framework agreement between the Government of the United Republic of Tanzania and Barrick Gold Corporation concerning Acacia Mining plc’s operations in Tanzania, the Legal and Human Rights Centre joins the group of NGO’s working on extractive industry to appeal to the Tanzanian President to address human rights concerns at Acacia’s North Mara Gold Mine.

We welcome the fair sharing of economic benefits between both sides but we believe that it is hard to envision a genuine partnership when Tanzanian citizens continue to lose their lives or suffer terrible injuries at Acacia’s operations.
