GUINEA ARRESTS NOTORIOUS CHIMPANZEE TRAFFICKER

A notorious wildlife smuggler who has been on the run for four years has been arrested in Guinea.
Abdoul Salam Sadibe is accused of selling thousands of live animals, including endangered chimpanzee for more than 30 years.
A non-governmental organization, ECO Activists for Governance and Law Enforcement (Eagle) first began tracking him in 2013 when it learned he was seeking to sell a live manatee for about $50, 000, Reuter’s news agency reports.
According to the French-language Africa news site Alwihda info, his network includes members of his family-his son was sent to prison for trafficking in 2015.
Sadibe was also sentenced in his absence that year for trafficking 130 Chimpanzees and 18 gorillas to China and other countries.
Guinea, a former French colony, is a major wildlife trafficking hub in West Africa with Ivory, skins and shark fins, as well as live mammals regularly sold internationally by criminal groups.
